"Selenium IDE... the old technology"
0/5
What do you like best about Selenium IDE?

Selenium was a great tool when there weren't any other better options out there, however nowadays with tools like cypress available, I feel that you'd be foolish to choose Selenium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Selenium IDE?

Selenium is a library, not a framework. Unfortunately, the lack of tooling and how much you need to time and time again build the same things out in Selenium is antiquated (example: reporting, retries, etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-friendly and easy-to-use test automation"
5/5
What do you like best about Selenium IDE?

Selenium stands out for being an open-source solution in a market full of high-cost solutions.

It is clear that other software is simpler to use and can be implemented even by developers with limited technical knowledge, but the cost-benefit of using Selenium and trained professionals is incomparable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Selenium IDE?

Indeed, the use of tools like the Selenium IDE tends to give rise to code that is not as optimized compared to when everything is done directly in Python or another language. However, it is essential to note that the primary function of Selenium IDE is to facilitate the entire process and that there are other Selenium tools available for those with better technical knowledge.
