Selenium WebDriver automates a real browser from code. In Python you create a driver, navigate with driver.get, locate elements with find_element, interact with click and send_keys, and check results with assert. The fastest way to start is to build the flow from steps and let a generator write the script. Here is the structure.
Open a URL, click, send keys, select options and assert.
A Python Selenium WebDriver script is produced from your steps.
Replace the example CSS selectors with ones that match your app.
Save as a .py file and run it with Selenium and a browser driver installed.
Anatomy of a Selenium script
You start a driver (webdriver.Chrome()), then driver.get(url) navigates. driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, sel) locates an element to .click() or .send_keys(text), and a plain assert checks the result. Wrapping the steps in try/finally with driver.quit() ensures the browser closes. The Selenium generator writes all of this.
Waits matter in Selenium
Unlike Cypress, Selenium doesn’t auto-retry, so real scripts add explicit waits (WebDriverWait with expected conditions) instead of time.sleep. The generated script uses simple steps to get you started; add waits where elements load asynchronously.
Tip: Replace sleep-based waits with WebDriverWait + expected_conditions once your script works — explicit waits are far more reliable than fixed delays.

How do I write a Selenium test in Python?
Create a driver, navigate with driver.get, locate with find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, …), interact with click/send_keys, and assert. A generator scaffolds it from steps.
Which language does the generator output?
Python — the most common Selenium binding — using CSS selectors.
Is my flow uploaded?
No — the script is generated in your browser.
