Selenium Automation Tester Job
Responsibilities
Selenium Job Responsibilities may vary from one company to another and one
project to another, but I am covering this topic by considering several companies
approaches or in general orientation.
We use Several Software/Tools in Automated Testing with
Selenium, Example:

TestNG or other Supported Testing Framework for Grouping Test Cases,
Prioritizing
Test Cases, Executing Test Batches and Generating Test Results.
Selenium Grid for Parallel Test execution.
Maven Integration for creating and maintaining Selenium Test
Environment.
Jenkins for Continuous Integration
