Introduction to Selenium Core

Overview

Selenium Core is a tool for testing web applications. Selenium Core tests run directly in a web browser, just like users browse the web applications. The tool is written in JavaScript/HTML and was developed at ThoughtWorks.

Note that: The tool is deprecated now with the new WebDriver API that interacts with the web browsers natively.

 

 

Selenium Core

 

Selenium Core uses JavaScript and IFrames to embed a test engine in the web browser. The tool will work with any JavaScript-enabled browser. We should copy Selenium Core tests directly into the application webserver, allowing the tests to run in the browser on the client side. The major drawback of the tool is that, we need to have privileges to write to the application server machine to install the tool.

Selenium Core is cross-platform and support many browsers on different operating systems. Selenium Core tests run in Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh.

Different browsers handle JavaScript somewhat differently, the tool tweaks the engine to support a wide range of browsers on Windows, Linux and Macintosh.
