01SectionGetting Started PositioningSelenium sits close to the browser-driving execution layer for real clicks, inputs, waits, and navigation.It is used not only for testing but also for admin automation and compatibility workflows.
02SectionBest-Fit ScenariosIt fits forms, admin regressions, legacy systems, cross-browser checks, and scripts that rely on real browser behavior.It becomes necessary when a page cannot be handled through simple APIs alone.
03SectionConfiguration and Maintenance FocusDriver versions, element selectors, and wait strategy are the main setup concerns.The hard part is not writing the first script but keeping it stable as the UI evolves.
04SectionPractical AdviceStart from one high-frequency, fixed-path browser flow and define state checks clearly for each step.Clear flow boundaries make later maintenance much cheaper.
05SectionCommon PitfallsFragile selectors and fixed sleep-based timing are among the most common failure causes.Without solid waits, error handling, and logs, debugging becomes unnecessarily painful.
