Selenium Documentation Guide 📚

Welcome to the Selenium Documentation Guide! 🌐 Whether you're new to automated testing or an experienced developer, this guide will help you navigate Selenium's capabilities and best practices.

What is Selenium? 🤖

Selenium is an open-source framework for automating web browsers. It supports multiple programming languages like Python, Java, and C#, making it versatile for various testing needs.

Key Features

• Cross-browser testing: Works with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and more.
• Multi-platform support: Run tests on Windows, macOS, Linux.
• Integration with CI/CD: Seamlessly connects to tools like Jenkins and GitHub Actions.

Getting Started 🔧

1. Install Selenium:

   pip install selenium  # For Python
   

2. Download WebDriver: Here you can find the latest versions for Chrome, Firefox, etc.
3. Write Your First Test:

   from selenium import webdriver
   driver = webdriver.Chrome()
   driver.get("https://example.com")
   print(driver.title)
   driver.quit()
   

Best Practices ✅

• Use explicit waits to handle dynamic content:

  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
  element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
      EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "myDynamicElement"))
  )  
  

• Organize test cases with modular structure for reusability.
