What is Selenium IDE?

1. Selenium IDE stands for Selenium Integrated Development Environment. It is a Firefox plugin which
helps test case developers to record their actions and then export them as a reusable script in any
programming languages.

2. Selenium IDE was developed by Shinya Kasatani and has become a part of Selenium Package in the year
2006. The tool becomes a great value and potential to the community.

3. No special setup is required to get started with Selenium IDE. It comes in the form of an extension that we
can add in our specific browser.

4. Selenium IDE also provides you with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for easier interactions recording
with the website.
