Can we use selenium for testing desktop applications?

I am testing a WEB and Desktop application (cross OS application: Windows - Mac - Linux) and I'm using RobotFramework to automate the tests.

For the Web I use SeleniumLibrary and it works perfectly . For code reuse reasons, is it possible to use SeleniumLibrary to do the automatic tests for the Desktop application ? Is it possible to interact SeleniumLibrary with desktop application elements ?

Solution

  • SeleniumLibrary works on the web so you can't reuse the code for a Desktop App test.

    For GUI Apps I suggest you looking to AutoitLibrary or ZoombaLibrary
