Selenium Reviews & Product Details

whatnot, many features of selenium are awesome when compared to paid solutions out there, it solves a lot of daily web automation needs in many companies, we are using selenium in multiple projects across the organization and we have created our in-house wrapper framework around it and I can say selenium is reliable in most of the cases. Though it is open source there is a constant updates from the community and lot of new features like auto healing scripts and many more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As it is open source if we are struck by any problem finding right solutions takes time as answers are scattered in multiple online places, community support is ok but if there was dedicated support it would be great. Sometimes slow execution and fragile as well. other problems perse features wise selenium sucks like we cannot automate captcha verification, many more like this.

For manual tester very good tool, zero coding is required Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

no dislike, zero coing knowledge require Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- can be easily configured to work with different browser drivers

- allows building page models that can be easily reused

- a quick way of getting access to different DOM elements, using different select like CSS or XPATH Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- when using page models is more common to get stale element exceptions

- executing tests in Safari driver requires adding extra behaviour as it differs compared to Firefox or Chrome driver

- would expect more built-in wait mechanism Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of all it is open-source project that provide single interface to write scripts in so many programming language like python, java, perl, ruby, C# etc. Second thing, it is open-source so anyone can contribute in it from all over the world. It is used for automation testing for high-end application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly speaking there is no disadvantage it as it is open-source so anyone can contribute but I feel very less people have knowledge of how to use this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Selenium test automation framework has matured over the years and provides multiple options to do every kind of test automation - be it websites or mobile apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though it sounds like another automation framework, it requires a good amount of coding to write automation test cases. Sometimes we need to add an additional resource to the testing team for automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A person with basic knowledge of programming languages like Java can write Selenium test cases. It makes it easy to write automated test cases which helps to improve test coverage, reducing bugs at the later stage of product life. It helps to reduce the burden on Manual Testing.

Need to have a person in the team who has knowledge of programming, test suite, and product. The person should be knowledgeable about technology and should know how to test it using automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to understand with python language And it's support multiple browser, and if job perspective,you can get good salary.It can be use for web and mobile application for both testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited support for UI and image testing. Difficult to use and create test cases.And take time to set up environment.And new feature not work properly.No support for mobile testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

easy to use and understand and it's good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not able to automate captcha, key actions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's pretty thorough. You can test every element of your UI. Many of the tests are relatively simple. Lots of languages supported. I use Python, which of course, makes it easy to use. Java and other languages are also supported. It runs on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and IE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve is pretty steep. You're writing and running scripts rather than using a GUI to create and run your tests. There are many different commands you need to master and multiple ways of doing the same thing. This level of choice makes it more flexible, but it's not always clear what the most efficient way is to test something. Also, as you change your UI, your tests can easily break. This sensitivity to even minor UI changes may be an inevitable result of UI testing, but it seems brittle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) We can test any platform such as mobile applications, Desktop applications, browser, load testing, etc.

2) Here we can able to get the combined tool for all platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) Its structure is a little bit harder such as test cases creation and error troubleshooting.

2) Limited support for plugins and platforms

3) Server requirements are required because we need to run eclipse IDE.

4) For coding repo we need to use third-party service such as git,gitlab etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
