There are several tools, which can drive the web browser in a manner that the real user prefers to navigate to various pages while capturing important information and interacting with the page elements. This process is known as web browser automation. Some of the most popular uses of web browser automation are:

Automating repetitive tasks such as scrapping info from the websites

Filling up HTML forms, performing some administrative jobs etc.

Selenium is one of the highly popular browser automation tools, which includes Selenium RC, Selenium IDE, and Selenium WebDriver. Selenium is not dependent on any specific programming language and this supports Python, Java, Ruby, C#, Perl, PHP etc. It is also possible to write the implementation for the language in case the language is not supported already.

Every time, automation testing can beat manual testing. The main reason behind it is that automation testing needs less investment in human resources, it is faster, and it doesn’t cause any errors. Besides, here it is possible to perform frequent execution of tests and automation testing supports regression testing, lights out the execution, and functional testing. Selenium configures the web browser automation test in such a manner that these are tested in various web browsers and environments. By using Selenium with Java, the users can automate result file generation by scheduling it for a specific time during the day.
