Questions tagged [selenium]

For questions about the popular Selenium open-source tool for automating web browsers, but it should not be used for questions about programming.

Selenium is a portable software testing framework for web browsers automation. The Selenium IDE provides a record/playback tool for authoring tests without learning a test scripting language. Selenium provides a test domain specific language (DSL) to write tests in a number of popular programming languages, including Java, C#, Ruby, Groovy, Python, PHP, and Perl. Test playback is possible in most modern web browsers. Selenium deploys on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh platforms.

When using this tag, also include other tags for the programming language you are using.
