Let's start with a basic information about Selenium . Selenium: It is basically a tool or framework that is used to automate web browsers. By using selenium you can automate a lots of web browsers like Firefox, IE, Chrome etc.  It is possibly most widely used open source solution. Sel enium is basically a set of different tools with different purpose and role . E.g. Selenium IDE Selenium 1 (Selenium RC) Selenium 2 ( Selenium Webdriver) Selenium-Grid Sel enium webdriver is the one which we will be using during this course. It supports fol lowing bro wsers: Google Chrome Internet Explorer Firefox Safari Opera HtmlUnit phantomjs Android iOS So, it is the one that allows you to automate these web browsers. If we talk little bit technically, then it is basically an API for web browsers. Using this you can program web browsers in a way that you want them to do. If you want to learn more about selenium then you can go through this link . Archite...

Before we sta rt this automation framew ork course, we should know what actually we are going to use for this so that we can have all th ose ready beforehand.   This is the post, where you can find the technologies used for this whole process. Further , in t his blog, I will be writing the course to create a n automation framework so I will be focusing more on webdriver compon e nt of selenium and less on other components like selenium ide, RC etc. I can cover these under "Interesting facts" topic later during the course. I will also try to cover some of the other inter esting topics in this which cannot be covered in course. So, let's go through the technologies which I will be using during this course. I will be using Selenium webdriver  as automation tool for building framework,  C# as a programing language, MSTest testing framework for writing tests and visual studio as development tool. So, it is assumed that you have at least basic knowle...
