Automated Testing of Websites

I am a big fan of Selenium; I must say this first.

Selenium WebDriver is a tool for writing automated tests of websites. It allows you to write tests in multiple programming languages, including Java, Python, C#, and more. With Selenium WebDriver, you can create tests that automatically interact with a website as a user would, clicking links, filling out forms, and verifying that the correct content is displayed. This can be useful for testing a website’s functionality and ensuring it works correctly before deployment.

What is web crawling?

Web crawling is automatically visiting websites and extracting data from them. Selenium is a tool that can be used for web crawling, although it is primarily designed for testing web applications. If you want to use Selenium for web crawling, you can use it to automate visiting websites and extracting data from them. This can be useful if you want to gather data from multiple websites or if you want to automate the process of visiting and interacting with a website. Remember that web crawling can be resource-intensive and potentially strain the servers of the websites you visit, so it is vital to use Selenium responsibly.
