Agile Testing From the drawing rooms in Singapore to the beaches in Miami and the dorms in Oxford, Netflix serves its huge fan base with minimal interruptions and high-quality videos. This is made possible by a dedicated team of testers and engineers who offer unparalleled customer experiences by imbuing innovations to their agile testing approach. These innovations are implemented thanks to the all powerful open-source Selenium testing framework. The framework helps to address the challenges that are generally associated with the testing of dynamic web browsers or applications. In fact, Selenium acts as the saviour when it comes to the testing of colossal web applications such as Google, Fitbit, Hubspot, and Netflix.  What is Selenium? Selenium is an open source framework for automated testing that emulates real-time user actions on different web browsers.

Selenium Testing The effective implementation of digital transformation calls for rigorous testing of builds to enhance the quality, accelerate the time to market and achieve customer satisfaction. The testing approach is crucial in achieving the objectives of digital transformation. The traditional manual way of testing has been found to be ineffective to meet the challenges of the day. These challenges include testing a build on a number of platforms, devices, operating systems and networks. Moreover, the build can contain many dependencies, which should be tested individually against the desired test outcomes. Since manual testing has been found to be inadequate to achieve the test objectives, testing experts have embraced test automation in a big way. The ease with which the test automation platforms are able to conduct repetitive tests for dependencies has led to their adoption by businesses on a large scale. These platforms, be it open source or licensed, help in imp...

Customers expect that the software or application used by them must function seamlessly. This is in addition to their expectations that the applications must have top notch GUI and robust features.

The race to be amongst the best can often force businesses to cut corners. The focus, therefore, is to hit the market with more number of applications instead of testing them rigorously. Such an approach can lead to situations where glitch ridden apps play havoc with customer experience. To meet the challenges in application development, especially web applications from flooding the market, companies are forced to take a fresh look at software testing. And when it comes to testing, test automation scores over manual testing for considerations of speed, time, cost and quality. However, automated testing is not s...
