Rectify one Wrong Statement “Selenium does not provide real-time reloading”

You can attach Selenium test script execution to an opened Chrome browser Window.

Recently, from a google search results, I saw these:

The source is the LinkedIn Article, “CYPRESS VS SELENIUM” (published on February 2023).

Definition of Real-Time Reloading in the context of Web Test Automation: the ability of Automated Testers to make instant modifications to test scripts and witness immediate outcomes.
There is another name for it, “attach test execution to the existing browser window”. Watir supported that at least from 2005.

The assertion “Selenium does not provide real-time reloading” is incorrect! I’ve been utilizing “Selenium Real-Time Reloading” since the very beginning of my test automation journey.

My father wrote two articles on this:

• My Innovative Solution to Test Automation: Attach test execution to the existing browser
• TestWise: “Run selected steps against the current browser”
