Couldn’t find Webdriver in the options and therefore selected IDE. Webdriver is much powerful than IDE so please include it in the list. Unlike IDE which doesnot use any language and just uses it’s 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 doesnot support any programming language and on the other hand Selenium Webdriver doesnot has it’s own IDE and therefore is dependent on outside IDE’s like ItelliJ, 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.
