What is difference between Behave and Selenium?

Selenium is an open-source test automation framework for testing websites and webapps. Used mainly for end-to-end automation of browser based web testing, it is the most popular automation testing framwork. Behave on the other hand, picks up where selenium gets left off. It extends selenium and is a full featured test automation framework that can used for everything including unit tests, end-to-end tests, integration tests, and much more. In most practical use cases developers and testers do not use just vanilla Selenium. Users usually use both Selenium and frameworks like Behave together.

What are the benefits of Behave for automation?

Behave is a Python based unit test automation framework with great features like annotations, fixtures, test runners, etc. It has in-built classes that help in assertions, testcase management, and organizing test results.

Can Behave be used to run parallel tests?

Latest versions of Behave 5 have out-of-the-box support for running tests in parallel. Behave Jupiter, a component of Behave 5, has a configuration set that can be leveraged to run tests in parallel. For users using older version, they can run tests in parallel using Behave runners, surefire plugin, etc. All these methods are supported at TestMu AI (Formerly LambdaTest) platform. You can run parallel tests at TestMu AI (Formerly LambdaTest) using Behave
