Selenium IDE is a very prominent tool, which provides a playback, without learning any scripting language. This testing technique runs on a specific domain and works in conjunction with a number of high-tech programming languages like C#, PHP, Java, Groovy etc. this testing tool works well in the integrated networks of many web browsers. Selenium Testing tool is also multi platform-friendly and performs equally well across Windows, Linux and Macintosh.

Selenium Testing Tool is an open-source software application which is widely available in its licensed form and can be used by any web-user.

The most recent addition in the development routine of this tool is, Selenium Grid. It provides a kind of hub which acts as the nucleus of the entire testing operations. This way simultaneously organized synchronized tests can run effectively on multiple levels are allowed whether the system be remote or localized. This minimizes the test implementation time.

During the early days of Selenium Testing Selenium IDE was used as a testing tool. This debugging and editing tool was not so popular due to the manual handling. ...
... It soon led to the better advancement in the growth of Selenium Testing.

As Selenium works in compatibility with the high level programming languages, the tests can be written in those computer languages for later implementation via Selenium Client API. Web driver works as the core of the modernized API.

There is also a Selenium based RC which is a rationalized server, scripted in & out in Java. It works in sync with HTTP and accepts various commands. With the help of RC the automated tests can be coded in any programming language. This in turn leads to improved integration of the system. Selenium RC is also termed as Selenium B, as it had terminated the wire protocol based interruption. This helped in successful running of remote browsers and port need decline.

Selenium Web-driver suffixed Selenium RC. Its major operation was to accept command and pass it on to the operational browser. It processed with a browser driver based application. The advantage of Web-driver over RC was that it did not need a special server for test implementation. It directly controlled this feature. This expedited the entire process and thus proved to be much cost and time effective.

Thus Selenium Testing provides a rich interface for processing and also gives quality assurance which is one of the most essential parts of the Testing cadre. It also provides a secure integrated environment and due to its ability to work with all kinds of coded languages it offers a wide range of testing modules and features.

Selenium Testing has upgraded the testing operations on every level and helps provide major share of opportunities for developers. The large scale companies as well as independent corporations are inclined towards this Testing mechanism. It holds a great and bright future in the world of Software Testing and Automation.
