Frameworks supported by Selenium

Selenium is an open-source automation tool for automating web applications for testing purposes. Selenium supports three types of frameworks

• Data Driven
• Keyword Driven
• Hybrid

Data-driven

The Data-Driven framework builds test cases using an external file such as Excel, XML, CSV, database, etc.

Keyboard-driven

The keyword-driven framework uses an external file to store the keywords, such as commands or operations.

Hybrid

In a Hybrid framework, the external file may have a combination of keywords and data.

Selenium Frameworks List

Selenium supports several testing frameworks across different programming languages.

• JUnit is a widely used testing framework for Java applications. It provides annotations to identify test methods, setup methods, and teardown methods.
• TestNG – is a popular testing framework for Java. It provides more advanced features than JUnit, such as parallel test execution, data-driven testing, and test configuration.
• NUnit – is a testing framework for .NET languages, similar to JUnit. It supports various attributes to define and manage test cases.
• PyTest – is a testing framework for Python that allows for simple unit tests as well as complex functional testing. It is highly extensible and supports fixtures and plugins.
• Robot Framework – An open-source test automation framework that uses a keyword-driven approach. It is suitable for acceptance testing and ATDD (Acceptance Test-Driven Development).
• Mocha – is a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on Node.js, making asynchronous testing simple. It supports various assertion libraries.
• Jasmine – is a behavior-driven development( BDD ) framework for testing JavaScript code. It does not depend on any other JavaScript frameworks.
• Cucumber – is a tool for running automated tests written in plain language. It supports BDD and allows writing tests in a human-readable format.
• Serenity BDD – is a framework for writing automated acceptance and regression tests. It integrates with JUnit and TestNG and provides detailed reporting.
