Selenium RC Practice Exam

Selenium RC (Remote Control) is a testing framework that allows developers to write automated web application UI tests in multiple programming languages. It was one of the earliest versions of Selenium and enabled browser automation by injecting JavaScript into the browser. Selenium RC required a server to be started before running tests and was later replaced by Selenium WebDriver due to its limitations in speed and efficiency.

Certification in Selenium RC is a professional credential that validates a candidate’s knowledge and expertise in using Selenium RC for web automation testing. It demonstrates proficiency in writing test scripts, setting up test environments, executing test cases, and integrating Selenium RC with other testing tools. While Selenium RC is now considered outdated, the certification may still hold value for legacy systems and organizations that have not transitioned to Selenium WebDriver.
