scripts in the desired language.
3. Selenium WebDriver: Directly communicates with the browser. Has more
advantages over RC.
4. Selenium Grid: Used to distribute multiple test execution on multiple
environments and platforms concurrently.
Supports cross browsing.

--> What is a Selenium Framework?


It is a code structure for making code maintenance simpler, and code
readability better.
This framework involves breaking the entire code into smaller pieces of code,
which test a particular functionality.
It can also be structured in a way wherein, the test cases which need to be
executed are called (invoked) from an
external application.

Data Driven: separates the 'data set' from the actual 'test case'(code).
Key-word Driven: Here, all operations and instructions to be performed are

It needs outside support for report generation activity like dependence on

Can't perform tests on web services like SOAP or REST using Selenium.

--> Limitations of Selenium Web-Driver:


Can't test mobile applications.
Difficulty in handling the pop-ups.
Doesn't support dynamic content.
Limited reporting.

--> Selenium Grid Working:


It is a part of Selenium suite that specialised in running multiple different

key refers to the name given to the
object and value refers to the properties used to uniquely
identify an object within the webpage.

--> Wait Statements:


Implicit Wait:
Explicit Wait:

--> Locators in Selenium: Address that identifies a web element uniquely within the
