It's fast and can handle almost all the scenarios we can think of a website, I've worked for walt disney and we used this tool primarily for testing multiple disney websites. It can even work on shadow root objects and while using java with selenium, the code remains organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For some functionalities such as shadow root elements and javascript operations, the functions can be made more easier to write and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's open source and easy to use. It's the best tool to automate web based applications. It can be used to test applications on multiple browsers and tests can be run parallely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing much that I dislike about the Selenium. I wish there was some feature to handle captcha or it would have been great if it could read data from a PDF file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy access to web DOM and entities on the page. Allow for universal control of the page, making integration easy and providing a one-stop shop for the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrate with object-oriented software to build the framework for web testing. It did not work well with all the libraries that needed to be used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Selenium driver is an open-source library, it supports multiple languages like java, javascript, c#, python etc. It has almost all the functionalities which are required for web automation like page factory for easily maintaining the web pages, waits & action for simulating the user actions etc. Selenium WebDriver 4 is W3C compliance.

Only for java documentation is great and detailed but for other languages, it's not that much great and users might face problems and need to search a lot on google. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows cross browser testing and working of Test scripts with access to different language for script creation which allows users to have vast to work and experience it. It supports different browsers to work and execute the test scripts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For Using Selenium Webdriver, User can has a basic object oriented concepts clear for any of the language on which they want to work for script creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is compatible with many popular programming languages, can be used on different browsers as well as on different operating systems. As such it provides lots of flexibility to users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lacks proper support of reports and analysis of older test runs. The infrastructure is not dynamically scalable. And while writing the scrips, there is no syntax check for locators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like the most is

- Language Agnostic -- Have used selenium using multiple languages (Java, Kotlin Python etc) since it's a library all we need to know is the syntax

- Learning wise it's a best suit for even beginners as per the first point since it's a language agnostic if a tester knows the correct class / method to be used then it's a boon for both the employee and the organisation

- Though there is no paid support since it is an open source yet we can find many valuable answers for any question that you may have in Stackoverflow, medium.com etc

- easy integration with browserstack

- have used selenium code integrating with Zap tool for security testing just by routing the driver thru Zap proxy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes selenium tests can be flaky eg. it always expects the click event to be at the center of the button this means if the web page load completely then we need to use the workaround to make it pass

- shadowDom element identification is bit tough unlike cypress Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
