Overview
Selenium is a portable framework that is usually used by QA testers and engineers to test web applications. It is an open-source tool that can be utilized to automate the tests carried out on any web browser.
Copado Selenium Testing allows you to record, store, run and schedule Selenium tests within Copado. You can record data-driven tests once and run them securely on any org using OAuth.
If you are using Copado Continuous Delivery, you can add Selenium tests as a quality gate and check whether your changes are ready to be deployed or not. For more information about this option, check out the article Pipeline Configuration.
