00:06happy automation
00:08hey I have a question
00:09May be have you also that's Automa is easier
00:12Or Selenium we'll compare these tools
00:14let's move on it firstly we'll compare
00:17it's a connection with the browser
00:19that's a
00:19definitely affected on a performance of your workflow
00:23in both cases if you see
00:24In Automa directly connect with your browser
00:27if you'll see selenium it's use webdriver
00:31that's decrease the performance of your workflow
00:34Here is another functionality will compare of these
00:36and that Automa has a build-in schedule feature
00:39you can schedule your task in on a specific time
00:42or in a specific condition
00:44but if you'll see on another hand in a selenium
00:47you'll need to import external library
00:51another practice
00:52That's make a difference in form a selenium
00:54that are exceptions if you will see in a selenium
00:57there is a lot of exception and mostly that's Hit
01:00that's really frustrated you'll see it fallback
01:03there's a alternate way of exception
01:05there's a fall back and Retry statement
01:07That make sense
01:08make it easier if you compare storage
01:11Or note down
01:12 data during your workflow in both cases
01:15in selenium and in Automa that's Automa
01:18also easier than selenium
01:20because here is buid-in storage system in Automa
01:24that's a label with the \
01:26if you'll compare with a selenium that's you need to import
01:30extend the library in the most
01:31of case you will see the error of encoding and so on
01:35there is a lot of error but if you'll see in a storage
01:38that's make it easier than selenium
01:42you'll need to import pandas
01:44and so on that's
01:46you'll need to write a bunch of code
01:49that's really frustrated
01:50thing if you know about a selector
01:52in automation
01:53that's a really helpful in browsert automation
01:56but if you'll see in a
01:57they will know any type of selector
01:59have a selector tool but that's in a IDE
02:02which is an extension of browser in a selenium
02:05but there is a no selector tool in a selenium
02:08in python or any other tool
02:10you need to customize your selector
02:12but if you'll see in Automa
02:14you have a selector tool you can make a selector
02:16and then use it in your workflow
02:19that's really make a sense to use it
02:21and easier to use it if you will syntax
02:24Or expression of writing a code
02:26in both cases
02:27you'll compare that adoma is easier than selenium
02:30because you'll need to
02:32bunch of code in selenium
02:33but if you will switch in Automa
02:35you'll see that you will need to just Drag and Drop
02:38Drag and Drop, and connect flow
02:40that's make it easier
02:41I hope you understand which is easier as you know
02:44that's are alternative of each other
02:46but in a browser automation task
02:47That's Automa is really easier than a selenium
