Gems of Selenium

Published May 3rd, 2010 Under Open Source Tools | Leave a Comment

Selenium is a portable software testing framework for web applications. Selenium provides a record/playback tool for authoring tests without learning a test scripting language. Selenium provides a test domain specific language (DSL) to write tests in a number of popular programming languages, including Java, Ruby, Groovy, Python, PHP, and Perl. Test playback is in most modern web browsers. Selenium deploys on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh platforms. This talk is focused on covering the gems of selenium and their capabilities. In this podcast, the speakers gave an overview of what selenium is and its history. They talked further on other features that are present in selenium. They also discussed what selenium 2.0 brings to the table and what that means for your existing test automation suite.
