Selenium is the automation tool that is used to test web applications or web browsers. It acts as an API for browser automation. It provides the capacity to make custom test automation situations and is the most common approach for QA testing. It is used for the functional and regression testing of web applications through various browsers and platforms.

Advantages of Selenium

Selenium is an open-source tool for web application means it is free to use and anybody can download the source code and use it. It can be modified according to the company's requirements.

It supports several programming and scripting languages to write programs such as Java, C#, Python, and many other languages.


Let’s take a look at the alternatives to the selenium which are as follows:


1. Robot Framework

It is extensible and many companies are using this tool. The Robot Framework can be used by the testers as an automation tool for web testing as well as for the Android and iOS test automation frameworks. Robot framework is not difficult to learn for the testers who know the test-driven testing since the test scripts are in English words rather than code.


2. Cypress
