Selenium Webdriver is the most preferred tool for the automated testing of web applications. It has evolved from Selenium RC to Selenium 3.0 to keep up with the market trend. Here is the best Selenium quiz with some most relevant and the latest questions to test your acquaintance with this subject.
With the help of Selenium, we can simulate actions on websites like a real user does. It provides a rich set of APIs that we can use to capture a full business workflow for testing the functionality of any web application. Thus, it helps in reducing a lot of manual testing efforts and has now become a W3C standard. It can even work as a cross-browser automation tool for web application testing.
Also, with the rise of online startups, the requirement for web test automation tools like the Selenium Webdriver is growing at a fast pace. Hence, it is important for us to cover this topic in detail. The readers who can spend more time learning Selenium should refer to the latest set of Selenium interview questions from our blog. It could be a great resource for all Software test engineers.
However, in this Selenium quiz, we’ll focus on how to use Selenium APIs, Web drivers for various browsers, handle HTML objects, and different locators. We hope that it’ll be fun for you all to attempt this interesting online test.
