Introduction to the Selenium Testing Framework

Why Selenium Alone Isn't Enough

Raw WebDriver scripts can automate individual actions, but without a framework, a growing suite becomes duplicated, hard-to-maintain code with no consistent reporting.

What a Selenium Framework Adds

• A consistent project structure for tests, page objects, and utilities.
• Reusable components like a base test class and common WebDriver helper methods.
• Integration with TestNG for annotations, data providers, and reporting.
• Support for external test data and configuration.
