It does not support iteration and conditional statements. It is not useful for Database testing and error handling. It cannot be used for user interfaces which are frequently changing as they result in changing the XPATH. Sometimes it takes a lot of time for completing the execution of a test case.

The best thing is it's free and open source software.

Moreover, it's very easy and very comfortable to use and does not require high programming knowledge to work on Selenium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Couldn’t find Webdriver in the options and therefore selected IDE. Webdriver is much more powerful than IDE so please include it in the list. Unlike IDE which does not use any language and just uses its own element locator and selense commands to build TCs, Webdriver is a programming interface and supports many languages like Java, C#, Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP.

Selenium IDE does not support any programming language and on the other hand Selenium Webdriver does not have its own IDE and therefore is dependent on outside IDEs like IntelliJ, Eclipse, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Fast setup as a browser add-on, Selenium IDE can be set up very quickly.

2. Quality Assurance has worked better with Selenium since this program helps eliminate manual QA testing, which itself could lead to exponential error, and cost.

3. Simple interface, it does not require a knowledge of programming language.

4. Free of cost Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Selenium is pretty user-friendly but sometimes tests tend to flake out. I'd say roughly one out of twenty tests yields a false positive.

2. Selenium software cannot read images.

3. Slowness may be a minor factor with Selenium, though this is an issue with basically any testing software.

4. It cannot be used to test window applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
