Difference between quit() and close ()

 In Selenium, the quit and close methods are used to close browser windows, but they have different scopes of action:

• Close Method:

  • The close method closes the current browser window or tab that Selenium is currently controlling.
  • If there are multiple tabs or windows open, close will only affect the one that’s currently in focus.
  • If it’s the only window or tab open, the WebDriver session remains active until quit is called or the program ends.

• Quit Method:

  • The quit method, on the other hand, shuts down the entire WebDriver session.
  • It closes all windows and tabs associated with that session and releases all associated resources.
  • It’s a more comprehensive way to clean up when your test script has finished running.

In summary, use close when you want to close the current window but continue working with the WebDriver, and use quit when you’re finished with the session and want to close everything down. It’s good practice to use quit at the end of your script to ensure that all resources are properly released.
