6. Selenium Applications:
Largely used for testing & validating applications
Automating repetitive tasks in browser
Reduce financial costs and time
because teams don’t have time or money to invest in
large test teams to make sure that applications work as
they are expected.

For WEB Penetration-Testing
Testing logical vulnerabilities:
for Ex: authentication, access control, input validation.
Testing technical vulnerabilities:
for Ex: XSS, …

10. Tools for Automating Interactions:
1. Selenium IDE:
this is a Firefox add-on
Disadvantages:
- it can only be used with FF
- also, all selenium tools don’t
support RIA technologies
such as: Silverlight, JavaFx,
and Flex/Flash.

2. Selenium WebDriver:
Is a programming interface for developing advanced
scripts using different programming languages.
We can run tests on multiple browsers that is so-called:
Cross-Browser; And on multiple OS that is so-called:
Cross-Platform (IOS, Android, Linux, Win, Mac, …).
Se.WebDriver offers many libraries for writing test scripts
in various languages, including Java, C#, Python, Ruby,
PHP, Perl, and JavaScript.

3. Selenium Standalone Server:
known as “Se.Grid” and that distributes test-scripts on
machines
For Se.Grid, need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE);
then:
1) nohup java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.53.jar >
/root/milani/selenium.log &
2) java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.53.jar -host
10.1.10.14 -port 4444 -role hub

3. Selenium Standalone Server:
Hub: be understood as server which acts as the
central point
Node: are Se.instances that are attached to the Hub
which execute the tests.
Note« Se.Grid includes Hub, WebDriver, and Se.RC to
execute the scripts in the Grid.
