Selenium

selenium is a tool for the automation testing and this tool used to perform certain tasks with minimum human interactions. It provides a way for developers to write scripts in various programming languages (such as Java, Python, C#, Ruby, and more) to automate interactions with web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and others. Selenium is often used for web testing, especially for testing web applications, and it supports a variety of operating systems
The Selenium suite includes several components:

Selenium WebDriver: This is the core component of Selenium that allows you to programmatically control a web browser. It provides a programming interface to interact with web elements, simulate user actions, and navigate through web pages.

Selenium IDE (Integrated Development Environment): This is a browser extension that allows testers and developers to record, edit, and replay interactions with the browser. It's a simpler tool compared to WebDriver and is often used for quick test script creation.

Selenium Grid: This component enables parallel execution of test scripts on multiple machines, allowing for distributed testing. It's particularly useful for large-scale test automation.

Selenium is widely used for automation, particularly in the context of web applications, for several reasons:

1.Web Application Testing
2.Cross-browser Compatibility
3.Community Support
4.Platform Independence
5.Web Scraping and Automation Tasks
6.Programming Language Support
7.Open Source
8.Support for Parallel Execution
9.Integration with Testing Frameworks
