Summary

Selenium automation testing is a widely adopted open-source tool that plays a crucial role in developing skilled automation testers. The article provides a comprehensive guide on handling multiple browser tabs using Selenium, demonstrating practical scenarios and techniques such as using the Robot class, JavaScriptExecutor, Window Handler methods, and Action Class to open and switch between tabs effectively. It highlights the challenges of running Selenium tests locally due to high CPU consumption and sequential execution, recommending cloud-based solutions like LambdaTest Selenium Grid for scalable and efficient parallel testing. By setting up a cloud-based Selenium Grid, testers can execute test cases without the hassles of infrastructure setup, taking advantage of features like video recording, console logs, and step-by-step screenshots, thus significantly reducing build times and enhancing the ability to ship products faster.
