Overall Satisfaction with Selenium
We use Selenium for running our end-to-end UI test cases on their grid. The Selenium grid addresses the biggest problem [of] managing [an] infrastructure for running tests seamlessly and in [a] very efficient way. The scope of our use case is to qualify the developer changes against the test data.
- ease of infrastructure management by providing the test environment
- provides varies types of platforms such as windows and linux
- different types of browser availability
- dynamic scalability of the infrastructure
- utilisation of kubernetes for efficient resource usage
- support for analytics for the previous test runs
- Lot of flexibility by providing various options through the test framework
- resources management by utilisation of the docker technology
- robustness
- drastically reduced the test automation execution time
- accessibility for various browsers which made test qualification on a particular browser made easy
- proper documentation and community support
When we compared Selenium to Saucelabs, [we found that] both have their own set of advantages but [preferred] Selenium [in the end]. [With] Selenium we have a uniform setup in place to test both the framework and grid which makes it preferable over Saucelabs. [The] test execution time is much better in Selenium [compared to] Saucelabs, [in my view].
