Can we automate web services using selenium?

Question

Could someone tell me whether could we automate testing of web services using Selenium?

Answer 1

No, you cannot automate testing of web services solely using Selenium as its’ designed to automate testing of a web browser. To automate testing of web services you need to go for tools like: 

• Postman
• SoapUI
• REST Assured, etc. to facilitate automating of web services testing.

If you are eager to learn Selenium from its basic to advanced level and get certified in the same, then I would recommend you to take up Intellipaat’s Selenium training course which includes 72hrs of projects and exercises which guides you through real-life industry-wide problems along with 45hrs of online training that is instructor-led.

Also, do watch our YouTube video on Selenium Automation Tutorial to have a better insight into this domain.
