Question

Can Selenium alone be used to automate the testing of an Intranet Web portal where the links on the portal are directed to SAP application.Portal works on IE and SAP application

Answer 1

In the simplest terms, Selenium is a free (open source) automated testing suite for web applications across different browsers and platforms.

Inorder to use Selenium to automate the testing of an Intranet Web Portal you have to use either of the Selenium bindings among java, python, c#, ruby, php, javascript, perl, etc.

Ideally, Selenium would be able to do each and every task hosted by an Web Application. If the concerned SAP Application Portal as of now supports ie, it can be well automated through Selenium irrespective of whether it is hosted in a Windows/Linux box.
