How to Build Selenium Tests

Selenium is a widely recognized open-source tool for cross-browser testing, known for its flexibility in supporting various browsers, operating systems, and programming languages. It leverages WebDriver, a collection of APIs, to automate web application testing tasks such as button clicks, form submissions, and page navigation. Despite its advantages, including a strong community and integration capabilities with tools like TestNG and Jenkins, Selenium presents challenges such as complex setup requirements, maintenance demands, and lack of built-in reporting and customer support. To address these limitations, alternatives like testRigor offer a codeless testing environment with features such as CI/CD integration, support for web, mobile, and API testing, and simplified test creation using plain English, thus enhancing test coverage and reducing maintenance efforts.
