Is Java Required For Selenium ?

This is very frequently asked question in my comment section so sharing my views on this.
Java Basics: If you having understanding of core Java then it can enhance your Selenium automation skills and framework development skills as well.

Selenium WebDriver and Selenium Grid: These components do require Core Java as they provide powerful features for browser automation and distributed testing via hub and node.

Selenium IDE: Unlike WebDriver and Grid, Selenium IDE does not require Java. It's a record-and-playback tool for simple automation tasks.

Summary, Selenium supports other languges as well like Ruby, C#, JavaScript but majority of market share is with Java for now.
The basic concepts of any programming language will remain the same so you can pick any and start learning.
My view: Start with java only. As if you know Java, other languages are easier to pick.

Hello Mukesh;

Thank you for making this video!

I have switched to selenium automation most recently and when I look at some existing java testing frameworks, sometimes I don’t know how to write automation scripts for that framework.

Is there any faster way to understand the framework structure so that to start writing codes as soon as possible?

Currently I don’t know if I’m “reinventing the wheel” or if I’m writing a new method due to the complexity of my framework.
