What is Selenium? | Advantages and Limitations?

What is Selenium? Selenium is an open-source project or library used to automate browsers. When you visit the webpage of Selenium, you'll see the tagline: "Selenium automates browsers. That's it."
When asked about Selenium, two follow-up questions typically arise: the advantages and disadvantages of using it.
Advantages of Selenium:
- It's open-source, meaning it's free.
- It supports multiple programming languages.
- It operates across multiple operating systems, such as Windows, Mac, and Linux.
- It's compatible with multiple browsers, including Chrome, I.E., and Firefox.
- It has robust community support. Since it's free, many people use it. If you encounter an issue or have a question about Selenium, a quick Google search can usually provide the answer.
Disadvantages of Selenium:
- It cannot automate desktop applications, as it's designed exclusively for web applications.
- Users need a good grasp of programming, as it requires advanced programming knowledge.
- Though some might see the requirement for programming knowledge as a disadvantage, for those proficient in Java or other languages, it's an advantage.
- There's no dedicated customer service for Selenium.
- It doesn’t provide built-in reporting features.
Your understanding and proficiency in Java or another language can help mitigate some of these disadvantages, but it's essential to be aware of both the strengths and weaknesses of the tool.
