Selenium WebDriver Reviews & Product Details

Well, Selenium WebDriver is by far one of the most used tools for automation testing, I started with it! ;) so it is nostalgic to use everyday, hehe,there are many good points for its use, for example: Cross-Browser Testing, I can testin on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, support of Multiple Programming Languages, such as Java, which is the one I use the most, is independent of the Platform, I can use on Windows and Mac, it has a strong community and there is plenty documentation, it can be integrated with CI/CD tools, such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions.

And nothing is perfect, the downsides will be, the Learning Curve for Beginners, it takes some time to get familiar with the functionality and what you can accomplish with it, there is plenty documentation out there, but yeah, it will take some time for you to be an expert, reporting, if you want one, you will need to use different libraries and customize it, takes time to create a framework from zero, but once you get there it would be easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration friendly – Fits well into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, etc.) and works alongside tools like TestNG, JUnit, and Cucumber. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Handling dynamic elements is tricky – AJAX-heavy apps, synchronization issues, and waiting strategies can make tests flaky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, it will automate webpages and web applications, Automate the large number of test cases, Easily understand, supports most of the languages like java, python etc.., It's a free tool. Make automation framework with high quality, Works for most of the we browsers like chorme, firefox, edge, safari, opera etc.., We can make central automation and integrate with other teams in organization. It will make my repeated work simple and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can't automate mobiles and mobile apps, for this we have check for other tools.

Out local machine broswer version and browser driver version is not matching automation code will not work.

For example: if my browser is automatically updated and in my selenium i have older version of broswer driver at this time when i run the automation test suite, it will fail at initical stage only. because of this broswer version difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The code snippets are easily understandable with even minimal knowledge of java or python. Parallel testing of wesites across different browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI testing is a bit difficult, without the robot framework.

Initial time taken to wirte the testcases is more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to automate web applications, Repetitive tasks which are automated can be helpful to all the teams.

As its open source it can be easily installable and can be used, Mainly Java is best language as its easy to program and faster.

Using java with selenium can be more easy to learn and adapt quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because of upgrades the element locators are changing all the time.

If chrome browser is updated the webdriver also has to be auto-updated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am integrating my selenium framework for our project using hybrid framework all testng, pom file and builder pattern .

Supports a wide range of web browsers and platforms (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.), making it highly adaptable.

Interacts with diverse web elements (buttons, links, text fields, etc.) using various locators, catering to different web application interfaces.

Integrates with multiple programming languages (Python, Java, C#, JavaScript, etc.), offering flexibility for development teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Selenium WebDriver interacts with web browsers, and issues related to browser updates or compatibility can arise. Sometimes, WebDriver may not support the latest version of a browser immediately, leading to compatibility issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Open source platform, Easy to automate web applications.

Repetitive tasks can easily be automation and can be used for future purposes.

Time consuming is less compared to other tools. I would recommend all the people to use selenium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While upgrades the chrome driver has to be auto-updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Selenium is a very robust tool to automate user actions on web applications. We use it to automate our manual tasks very easily. So, for all the students whose marksheets are corrected, and their grades need to be updated in the student portal one by one, we use excel sheets of grades which are then fed to Selenium, which then inputs grades one by one automatically per student, saving a lot of manual effort, and preventing any manual errors. We use it almost once a month, saving a lot of teachers' time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that is needed is one-time coding effort. So, we need a person who has hands-on knowledge of Java who can then easily implement frameworks and scripts. Other than that, no issues because Selenium has a very powerful library to accomplish most of the manual tasks very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Selenium WebDriver has all the features to easily automate the test scenarios and test cases for a web application. Everything from clicking a button to scrolling down a page to validating images on the webpage to capturing screenshots of the application, can be easily achieved via Selenium. Selenium has easy integration with other tools like Cucumber and Jenkins helps to also get reports of the executed test cases. Coding via Java and Javascript makes automating test scenarios very convenient. Moreover, Selenium being open-source, a lot of user assistance is available on the internet.

Selenium WebDriver as the name suggests, works only with web applications. Due to this, when there is some interaction needed with Windows application, like uploading a file, using Windows pop-up or getting screenshots of the timestamp displayed on the Windows taskbar, it fails. You need additional tools to achieve such different scenarios. Other than that, Selenium needs coding, unlike other automation tools where record and play facility is available.
