1, commonly used several kinds of selenium
- The Selenium IDE is a primary tool for recording or scripting with an execution interface. It is a Firefox plugin, so it can only be used on Firefox.
- SELENIUM1 (SELENIUM-RC) can support almost all browser testing, but is constrained by the JavaScript security model, which is programmed more like a process-oriented rather than an object-oriented approach.
- Selenium2 (i.e. Webdriver) is an automated testing tool for Web applications that does not rely on any test framework, does not need to be started or installs other programs, and supports browsers including Firefox, IE, Chrome, Opera, Android, IPhone.
2, Selenium 1 components
- Selenium server: It is responsible for starting or closing the browser, explaining and running the Selenese command from the test program, and can play the role of the HTTP proxy, intercept and verify the HTTP messages passed between the browser and the application being tested.
- The client library file provides an interface between various programming languages and selenium RC servers.
3. The difference between SELENIUM1 and Selenium2
SELENIUM1 provides more method-based APIs, all of which are open in one class. The SELENIUM2 API is object-oriented, and different objects have different methods of operation.
