Introduction to Automated Testing with Selenium

Automated testing transforms manual, human‑driven test procedures into machine‑executed processes, and Selenium—a comprehensive suite of tools for web browser automation—enables remote control of browsers to simulate user actions such as typing, clicking, selecting, and executing JavaScript, primarily supporting front‑end testing.

Automated Testing

Automated testing converts manually driven test activities into processes executed by machines. After test cases are designed and reviewed, testers follow the steps described in the cases, compare actual results with expected outcomes, and aim to save labor, time, and hardware resources.

Selenium

Selenium is a comprehensive project that includes a series of tools and libraries supporting web‑browser automation. Official site: selenium.dev

Selenium’s core is a set of tools for remote control of browser instances, simulating user interactions with the browser.

It can input text into fields, select dropdown values and checkboxes, click links, provide many other controls, move the mouse, execute arbitrary JavaScript, and more.

Although Selenium is mainly used for front‑end website testing, its core is a browser user‑agent library that can be combined with other libraries to meet various purposes.
