hi 

I would like to know the differece of using c# and java in selenium webdriver 

advantage and disadvantages 

thanks in advance

I would say Java would have lower ramp up time when hiring other test developers due to it's popularity in the Selenium community.

But I think you should use the same language as your devs.  For me I was previously using Python because I was in a Django shop, now I'm using C#.  The cool thing is being able to reuse ORM, DAO, and Data contract layers developed by your developers.  For example, I can reuse the same Data contracts used by the webservice in a SOA architecture to parse service level requests.  Or for super fast test setup and teardown, I can hook into the ORM layers to quickly create test data entries for my tests and remove them when the test is done.

Check this blog http://automationrocks.com/2014/03/04/which-programming-language-fits-best-for-automation/ which explains about the programming language that you would want to use/implement.

Thanks,

I agree with David. Using the same language lets me use the developers models/objects easily.

To me it almost doesn't matter for the most part it depends on the experience of the team. Yes getting help from the dev team and using things they have already in place is cool but, if your team doesn't understand it or know how to use/create things for your frameworks you will essentially just have people writing code your devs will be fixing/cleaning up. imo

My last project we had a bunch of people that were transitioning into writing automation for the first time. So I went with ruby, aside from the fact ruby has a lot of cool tools(ActiveRecord, FactoryGirl, Faker, RSpec, and such) to help you get things done, Its a fairly easy language to know just enough of to write automation.

To the OP, why not just give both an evaluation/test drive as well to see which works better for you. There's no substitute for that in asking for advice/recommendations. It's always going to be specific to you/your organization.
