Selenium is one of the most commonly used frameworks for browser automation. As stated previously, tools like Selenium provide an easy and scalable way to test web applications and reduce time-consuming tasks.

Among other benefits, Selenium provides testing teams with the following:

• A standardized API that allows for automating web browsers
• A server application that helps to coordinate and distribute tests across multiple operating systems and browser combinations

In Selenium, test automation works through the following means:

1. Automation scripts are written by the testing and development teams. These scripts contain instructions for how to perform the test, including finding and manipulating objects on the web page, using information as input, verifying messages from the web application, and interacting with elements.
2. The Selenium WebDriver provides interfaces, classes, and methods to interact with browsers and elements in the web application.
3. Browser providers and third parties have developed browser drivers to work with the WebDriver API. This has made Selenium available to execute tests on all of the popular web browsers.
