Can I open an application using Selenium?

Question

I'm writing a script for test automation which requires checking the back-end SQL database in the SQL Developer. Is it possible that I do this through selenium? Selenium is a web automation..

If not, I can do this through java, right?

Answer 1

Selenium仅用于Web浏览器，它在浏览器中打开网站并仅记录网站，它不用于桌面应用程序，您将使用Java或QTP的桌面应用程序。

Answer 2

I dont think selenium can open desktop applications. It can only open browser depending on the input variable. You need to do it in java.

Answer 3

If you are using java with selenium you can use :

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("//path to ur application")

Now further if that application has UI that you can get control on that using tools like Autoit .
