1.Python Selenium Architecture
Python Selenium architecture explains how Selenium works with Python to automate web browsers. It consists of several components that communicate with each other to perform actions on a web application. The main purpose of Selenium architecture is to allow Python scripts to control different web browsers automatically.
The first component is the test script. Test scripts are written by testers or developers using Python. These scripts contain commands such as opening a browser, clicking buttons, entering text, and validating results. Python is widely used because its syntax simple and easy to understand.
The second component is the Selenium WebDriver API. When a Python script is executed, the commands are sent to Selenium WebDriver. WebDriver acts as a bridge between the Python code and the web browser. It receives instructions from the test script and converts them into a format that the browser can understand.
The third component is the Browser Driver. Every browser requires a specific driver. For example, Google Chrome uses ChromeDriver, Mozilla Firefox uses GeckoDriver, and Microsoft Edge uses EdgeDriver. The browser driver receives commands from Selenium WebDriver and communicates directly with the browser.
