Selenium WebDriver is a powerful automation tool for controlling web browsers and automating web application testing. It provides a rich set of APIs for interacting with web elements, simulating user actions, and executing test scripts across different browsers and platforms. Selenium WebDriver is widely used for end-to-end testing, regression testing, and browser compatibility testing.
Compared to other automation tools like Puppeteer or Playwright, Selenium WebDriver has broader browser support and a larger community. It allows for cross-browser testing and integration with various testing frameworks. However, Selenium WebDriver requires more setup and configuration compared to newer tools, and its performance may vary depending on the browser and environment.
