In what cases is it recommended to use the Selenium test automation tool?

Selenium is recommended for automating the testing of web applications when it is necessary to verify the functionality of a site across different browsers and platforms. It is useful for regression testing, where the same scenarios need to be repeated quickly, as well as for testing user interfaces and interactions with page elements (buttons, forms, links).

Selenium is suitable if:

• You need to automate tests for browser-based applications.
• Cross-browser testing is required.
• There is a need to integrate tests into CI/CD processes.

Example of usage in Java with Selenium WebDriver:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class SeleniumExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://example.com");
        System.out.println("Title: " + driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
    }
}
