Selenium is a Test Automation tool for Web Applications. This means we can automate the manual test cases.
If you are new to Selenium and do not have programming knowledge, then do not worry. Learning Selenium is very easy.
Once you are good at using the tool and configuring the software then you can concentrate on programming.
What are essential for programming with Selenium?
1. Selenium supports multiple programming languages like JAVA, C#, Ruby, Python, Perl etc.
2. Whatever programming language you prefer, it is better to learn and develop programming logic and debugging skills.
3. Debugging helps in finding out the root cause of the issues with the program which helps a tester in improving the programming skills.
4. The following are the minimum concepts that are essential in Java:
i) Data types, looping, controls statements.
ii) OOPS (Object Oriented Programming System) Concepts, Strings, Collection Types like List
If you just want to do Record and Play back the scenarios, you can opt for Selenium IDE.
However, for programming with Selenium we use Selenium RC and Web Driver, where the programming
knowledge is needed.
