"Write ui test with selenium ide"
3/5
What do you like best about Selenium IDE?

it can auto record your action, make write ui test very easy. you don't need to find the dom element manually. It can also play the actions you just recorded and see if it works well for you. The selenium ide is very easy to use, you can get used with the tool in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Selenium IDE?

Every thing of selenium ide is very good. but it doesn't have a chrome plugin . I like firefox, but I also use chrome a lot. But I can't work with selenium ide on chrome. Another issue is that the driver of selenium is not very stable, but i believe it still the best choice of ui test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Selenium IDE Review From A Test Engineer Perspective"
4/5
What do you like best about Selenium IDE?

Even though it's only available in Firefox, the ability to record your browser actions helps greatly for writing tests for other browsers (i.e. Chrome # IE). The option to change the source format over to Ruby also greatly assists me in writing automated tests using the Ruby Gem WATIR (Web Application Testing In Ruby). I like using Selenium IDE to write quick automated tests to compete tedious/repetitive tasks so I can focus on higher priority tasks in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Selenium IDE?

IDE only available in Firefox, however, there are webdrivers for Chrome/IE to assist with automated testing in those browsers. Unable to write Data Driven Tests and there is no ability to verify images.Test execution is sluggish compared to WebDriver or Selenium RC/Core. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Web automatic UI test tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Selenium IDE?

This is very good tool for web site tests through Firefox. It allows creation of commands which translated into steps. Those steps run on Selenium Firefox Driver. For example, it may be click on element, text writing into text box and even dragging an element at web page from one place to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Selenium IDE?

Takes a lot of memory and not stable at all.

Sometimes it take time to understand what is going on.

Only runs in Firefox.
