Answer 1

it depends what you want to do! selenium is testing tool and java development is different. so, first be clear what you exactly what to do, develop or test or both??

Answer 2

hmm... so if I need to learn this selenium tool what are all the concepts I should be learning from Java coding?

Answer 3

I am not a selenium tool expert but I think you are supposed to test the programs for all the possible conditions, in some case different user input, load balancing and so on. So, you need to know the structure of program, how it runs and test it for all possible conditions.

Answer 4

you have to learn java, if you want to learn selenium. i once used selenium tool so i used many concepts of java or if you are facing any problem of making selenium code then use stackoverflow.

Answer 5

Selenium is testing tool and Java is programming language. So Selenium use Java programming language to develop test code to verify functionality.
