This document provides an overview of the Selenium automation tool, including its components and how they work. Selenium is an open source browser automation tool that supports Java, C#, Ruby, Perl, Python and PHP. It has several components, including Selenium IDE for recording and replaying tests within Firefox, Selenium RC which provides a server to control browsers, and Selenium WebDriver which addresses some limitations of RC with a simpler object-oriented API. The document then discusses each component in more detail and provides an example of a first WebDriver script in Java.

5. Selenium IDE
 Selenium IDE is an integrated development
environment for Selenium tests.
 It is an extension of Firefox and used to
record, edit, and replay the test within
 With IDE we can export our test in any these
languages HTML, Java, Ruby scripts, or any
other format

6. Selenium RC
 Provides Selenium Server that acts as HTTP proxy
 Able to handle Open, Close and Stop a browser
 Provides user to script the UI testing
 Provides support to all browser which are able to
handle javascript
 Enables to open any HTTP WebSite
 Enables to use loops, conditions and give the power of
programming(Scripting)

7. How it works

8. Selenium WebDriver
 WebDriver is designed in a simpler and more concise
programming interface along with addressing some
limitations in the Selenium-RC API.
 WebDriver is a compact Object Oriented API when
compared to Selenium1.0
 It drives the browser much more effectively and over
comes the limitations of Selenium 1.x which affected
our functional test coverage, like the file upload or
download, pop-ups and dialogs barrier
 WebDriver overcomes the limitation of Selenium
Rc's Single Host origin policy

public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
element.sendKeys("Cheese!");
element.submit();
System.out.println("Page title is: " +driver.getTitle());
driver.quit();
}
}
