Selenium - a browser automation tool
Selenium is used in my company for automated testing in web applications, and it allows us to avoid manual regression testing, and also allows us to fix regression bugs faster and more easily. It's fully integrated to CI, with a Selenium Grid being responsible to launch all browser drivers (allows Chrome, Firefox, IE/Edge, PhantomJS, etc...).
It has a big community, which allows you to easily get lots of questions answered when a problem occurs. Also, it has support for multiple open source frameworks for test execution (Protractor, per example) and also for test reporting. Their web browser drivers allow us to replicate almost all interactions that a user could do, which offers a really good set of events to test web applications.

- Open Source
- Huge community
- WebDrivers with lots of capabilities
- Integration with CI tools like Jenkins
- Basis for multiple automatic testing frameworks
- You need to really understand how to configure Selenium, otherwise your integration could be really painfull
- Slow to start up

Selenium at a glance
It is used by most of the scrum team to automate web page testing. It's being used across the whole organization. It is used as UI automation tool. Scripts are written for smoke, sanity and regression testing purpose.
- Lightweight and open source, so it's easy to download.
- Can be integrated into any Java or Javascript framework for automation testing.
- Supports multiple browser and multiple scripting language.
- Should have a better locator strategy for modern day complex javascript pages
- There are multiple types of waits, it should come up with a unique wait strategy
- Should have option to highlight each action such that user can undersand what action the tool is performing

Crucial software for high volume testing
We use Selenium daily in my organization. We started using it to run basic automation testing of our web forms. This helped us significantly cut down on the amount of time that it was taking to manually submit lead tests. This ended up leading to full automation of entire test suites.
- The ability to create testing automation
- Even without technical experience, I can create test suites and validation using the recording tool
- We’ve saved hundreds of hours of manual testing by creating automated test plans with this tool
- It’s free
- Sometimes the test sites will fail even if the page hasn’t changed

Selenium Review
We used selenium to test our applications across the technology department. It helps test our products to ensure they do not contain bugs for our end users.
- It provides automation to test products well.
- It is fairly easy to use with good documentation, which is of course important for trying to learn a new product.
- It is an industry leader so has good support within the community.
- I think selenium IDE can use some improvement. It is a good, easy, quick product to use, however, I have noticed over the past few months that it is no longer supported on newer Firefox browsers, which is unacceptable.
- selenium IDE should work on other browsers besides Firefox.
Selenium is currently being used by developers to be able to increase test coverage in addition to Cucumber scenarios for the front-end product and also in order to provide regression tests by QA team besides SOAPUI and Postman. My two employers finally decided to go on with this tool, considering it's open sourced and has relatively wide community support. I had found the opportunity to use also other ones, however, Selenium seems more talented on its stack, and they provide some advantages on some edge cases.
- It is a self-proven open source tool and has rich language support. It is cut out for regression tests on HTML based web application subject.
- It is a relatively easy to use and robust tool for developers, and essential for the QA professionals.
- On basic flows, the record and play feature is really nice, especially for noncomplex pages.
- Implemented Regression Tests could save your day one day.
- Mobile testing should probably be evaluated, as that may require another horizontal spreading to accept another subject/profession.
- Updates that are not planned well may break your automation.
- Sometimes, somehow, it can raise false alarms about assertions that may be hard to manage.

Selenium is the new Regression Testing
We use Selenium to test e2e testing by the QA automation team and its used across the organization. It addresses the problems and difficulties of regression testing.
- Quality Assurance has worked better with Selenium since this program helps eliminate manual QA testing, which itself could lead to exponential error, and cost.
- Selenium can automate any part of a web page if it is based on HTML. So if you want to check it, open the CRM web application, open the browser console and confirm if all the elements required for your automation test are based on HTML.
- You can only test HTML based websites with Selenium. If the CRM application exposes an HTML based front end that is accessible via a web browser then you can use Selenium to test it, if not you can't.
- The non-HTML components of a web page cannot be accessed by Selenium. You might want to use Image Based testing tools like Sikuli.
- Slowness may be a minor factor with Selenium, though this is an issue with basically any testing software since waiting on a site to execute JavaScript requires the browser to wait for a particular action.

Selenium: first choice for web browser automation
Test scripts for our customers are being executed in the backend which uses Selenium as a core framework.
- Selenium has wide range of language bindings.
- As an open source framework, it has fewer bugs in its source code.
- A lot of people are using Selenium, you can find answers to almost every question on the internet.
- Selenium 4 will finally have the opportunity to interact with the browser itself instead of with a driver.
- Cross-browser testing is a bit hard with Selenium as different browsers sometimes need different codes. That needs to be streamlined.

Must have framework in your daily QA work
We're using Selenium WebDriver and Hub daily across the whole organization. We cover the most routine test cases on a daily basis to prevent any human-related errors. We get plenty of scheduled jobs to run tests overnight and get results quickly. Web GUI testing became easier for everyone on the team.
- Open source.
- Allows use of different languages.
- Huge community.
- Supports many browsers.
- Very slow UI tests (it's not Selenium's flaw, but the whole process).
- Selenium Hub has lots of restrictions and not all written tests passed locally will run on it.
- Mobile testing is not supported (you need an extra solution).

Best open source test automation tool for regression testing
Selenium as an open source test platform/ framework is used by the whole organization. It is used as automation testing framework and widely used for UI testing.
- One of the best user communities.
- Easy to learn and bring new folks who are new to test automation up to speed.
- Works well with many new plugins and test frameworks.
- Open source is a better alternative to HP UFT when it comes to UI testing.
- Best suited for UI testing - would be nice if this could be developed/ tweaked for unit testing as well.
- Support for mobile testing.
- Performance testing.
We use Selenium primarily for testing the Web Applications that are being developed for the clients. It is mainly used by the QA department for writing automated scripts using Java and Javascript for testing various scenarios in the application. The QA team constantly keeps adding more test cases to the test suites to ensure maximum coverage and then combine it with Jenkins to run the test cases over night, so that we can get the test reports in the morning.
- Record and play feature that lets you record all the steps with a click of a button
- The intelligent fields selection feature lets you use the locators that you can find easily, rather than being confined to Xpaths
- The large selection of languages that can be used to write test scripts, if you have a knowledge of any programming language, you can easily get started with Selenium
- Free of Cost !!!
- Reading images is one area that might be implemented in Selenium
- The slowness can be decreased, but I think that not just with Selenium, it could be with any Software
- Not able to perform Database testing using Selenium

Selenium - Gateway for Automation
For one single department, we used Selenium software for our website application implementation. It was helpful in testing software infrastructure without a need to focus resources and time on learning new test scripting languages. We also utilized Selenium in assisting with the creation of automation that was carried out in test browsers. It was also beneficial for generating reports that we required.
- The efficiency in testing is beneficial with Selenium because without the questioning the potential usefulness of software, we wouldn't really be able to confirm that certain web applications will perform the way we want them to.
- Quality Assurance has worked better with Selenium since this program helps eliminate manual QA testing, which itself could lead to exponential error, and cost.
- A strength of Selenium is also the array of tools as well as cross-platform capability. The remotely controlled server acts as a device platform for JavaScript, PHP, Perl, and Ruby.
- Selenium is pretty user-friendly but sometimes tests tend to flake out. I'd say roughly one out of twenty tests yields a false positive.
- Selenium software cannot read images. This is a minor negative because a free plug-in is available from alternate sources.
- Slowness may be a minor factor with Selenium, though this is an issue with basically any testing software since waiting on a site to execute JavaScript requires the browser to wait for a particular action.
- Create a WebDriver instance.
- Navigate to a Web page.
- Locate an HTML element on the Web page.
- Perform an action on an HTML element.
- Anticipate the browser response to the action.
- Run tests and record test results using a test framework.
- Conclude the test.
- Selenium is the best UI and Data automation tool currently on the market.
- Ease of use is a primary selling point
- I am ok moving from the free model if enhancements and updates can continue
- This is the best tool on the market and a little bit of IT support would go a long way!

Selenium - The future of automation
Selenium is used by just our department which is quality assurance. We use it basically for the GUI regression testing. We have a virtual private branch exchange and a lot of telecom features available for the call centre workplace. The selenium tests help with automating and running the entire GUI checks each time a new feature is deployed. This is scheduled as a cron job that runs overnight and gets the results in a graphical format.
- Complete GUI regression.
- Integration with other in-house apps thus providing various features like display of results in graphical format.
- Ease of use and the freedom to code in the language you are comfortable with.
- Use of selenium in desktop applications.
- Enhancing the selenium uses to backend testing along with front end.
- Improvements in the ways in which it can display the result.

My take on Selenium
Selenium was under review by my department when we were starting with automation. The main drive to use selenium was that it was free and it had a large community. It also supported many different languages and can be easily implemented with other software including Apache JMeter. It was also looked as a way to test API using scripting languages.
What made Selenium sound great was the compatibility with Firefox and other web browsers. It is a great tool for people who like to use playback and record and insert data using Excel or other programs. It's easy to upload and to use.
What made Selenium sound great was the compatibility with Firefox and other web browsers. It is a great tool for people who like to use playback and record and insert data using Excel or other programs. It's easy to upload and to use.
- One of the main features is that it is free to use.
- Compatible with different languages such as Java, Javascript, Python and many more
- A vast online community where users can go and get information and ask questions regarding any issues they may be having
- No support at all. Since selenium is open source you will not get any support. The only support is the online community.
- Updates can break your system. If you are new to selenium and update without doing much research there's a chance that it could break your automation scripts.
- Community support can sometime take days to get an answer you're looking for.

Selenium Tool Review
It is used by our company to automate several web based products.
- First of all, It is open source, so it means it is zero cost to my company.
- Second, it has a huge Selenium community and support for Selenium development.
- With multiple browser supports by multiple browser APIs, I can easily automate and test my web applications many browsers.
- Some of the browser APIs still don't have a stable build which causes the scripts to crash sometimes.
- Need to work with many third party frameworks (TestNG, Firebug etc) right from object identification, reporting, integrations with other ALM solutions etc. It doesn't have its own framework for those.
- Since the object locator is also the third party, locating objects becomes a challenge to find those objects. One needs to have Selenium's own object locators built within Selenium.
- UI Tests are often slower.
September 13, 2017
Selenium Benefits
Our whole organization pretty much uses selenium to validate UI of web applications. It usually run on a daily and even several times a day basis. It executes the whole regression test suite whenever a new build is pushed.
- It captures pictures.
- Great for creating UI test and validating elements.
- We can use selenium to execute parallel tests.
- Sometimes it can provide false failures.
- Wish it was easier to run selenium across multiple browsers.

Selenium use and beyond
Selenium basically is being used for automation of an internal website by one of our clients, Huawei. It is a good open source tool, and since it is open source, it has replaced the legacy automation (paid) for better results.
We have coupled the Selenium framework with REST and use the test cases to automate the 564 test cases for the application which have been integrated to CI.
Since Infosys caters to hundreds of clients, [use by] the whole organization would be an over estimation in my view, but it is catching on throughout the organization to automate repetitive flows.

- It is open source.
- Can be scripted in both Python and JAVA. I have recently started to code in Python and it reduces the complexity tremendously well.
- It has a huge online open source community, so almost all the queries are answered.
- I feel it is very slow.
- The websites should follow certain standards for naming and easy processing of automation. There should be guidelines to code about naming and various other attributes of website development. It is difficult to go through or automate bad code with redundant tag names, bad formation and equally bad suggestions.
- I think there should be Windows support. We can couple it with AutoIt, but by default, if [Windows support were available] it would be a huge help .

Make life easy with Selenium automation
Selenium is used by the R&D department. It helps to ensure quality of maximum features in short duration when the product is being released at regular intervals.
- It is free.
- It has the support of different open frameworks for test execution and test report creation.
- Jar created with tests can be shared with any members in the company and they can simply run the tests and get report with just JDK installed.
- Number of users is so big that you will see that someone has already faced the problem you are facing and found a solution.
- Third party plugins like AutoIt can be used to automate Image driven testing.
- Internal Support to do image based testing, it will help a lot as web elements are getting new things.

Selenium - No More Point & Click Tests
We use Selenium WebDriver for our online portal for effective test automation on a variety of use cases. Prior to writing this test automation QA would manually go through test cases manually with a "point & click" approach prior to every release/major feature which resulted in a large amount of time being spent on a simple process that was slowing our release cycle. With writing these test cases in Java using Selenium WebDriver tests they're able to be re-created with even more precision and tests cases quickly. The QA review process of a release went from a day or two to less than an hour.
- Clear and concise documentation. It takes very little time to get up and running.
- Selenium WebDriver is supported in many languages including Java, C#, Javascript, and more. This make it a very versatile tool that can be used anywhere in your tech stack if applied properly.
- Incredibly feature rich, wether you want to check HTML tags, page formatting, test input, send email, etc. Selenium can support it.
- Very dense API for Selenium WebDriver which can make it slightly difficult to find the exact thing you are looking for, keep the API documentation close.
- The Selenium IDE for Firefox is not very good and I would not recommend anyone use it unless your QA is not strong in programming basic tests. It causes more headaches than it is is worth in the long run.
- The parallelism features of Selenium WebDriver feel half-baked and caused us a few issues. I would recommend running serially unless you are seeing a performance hit.

Hands-down the best browser automation tool
We use both Selenium IDE for quick-and-dirty automation tasks by non-technical users and the Java bindings to build out a robust suite of functional tests we can run for regression testing automatically. We also use the Python and Node bindings for similar tasks and automation efforts outside of testing, like deployment verification or monitoring of the site.
- Test automation; this is hands-down the best library for writing a suite of tests.
- Interfacing with browsers; this allows for cross-browser testing without much thought.
- Distributed testing in a grid. You can even get set up with Docker to automatically scale the nodes out as you run tests.
- AWS integration.
- The bindings can sometimes be difficult to use; functions aren't quite named how you expect sometimes.
- The naming is idiomatic to the language of the binding, which can make applying an example in one language to another language challenging.
- Internet Explorer remains a problem, and the drivers are often buggy.

Selenium for web automation
Selenium is used for web UI automation. We automate test cases for release regression runs. The whole organization uses it for Web testing. It provides feedback when developing new features and then running tests on old features to make sure nothing is broken. It gives us flexibility to run tests on different environments and browsers.
- Quick development of tests once framework is written
- Easy to maintain when using page objects design pattern
- Compatible with major browsers.
- Tricky to work out timing issues for test failures
- Not able to interact with certain popups outside the browser

Selenium, best automation tool available
We are using Selenium WebDriver for automation of our web application tests.
We use selenium to run our test on different combination of browsers and operational systems.
We use selenium to run our test on different combination of browsers and operational systems.
- Selenium is great for automating UI and functional tests
- Selenium can work with different programming languages and frameworks
- Would be nice, if there was built in feature to read js console errors.
- Since Selenium is open source free tool, there is no support for it

Selenium is free, but it's worth thousands
First of all, let's point out that "Selenium" is a vague word. There are:
However, Selenium and WebDriver are not so strong on their own: They are weak on detecting Java applets and Flash elements and totally out of league when it comes to non-web elements. Fortunately, there are solutions to overcome such issues. For non-web elements, Java Robot or Python gtk is available. For modern Java applets that are based on swing elements, FEST is a useful tool to integrate with selenium to detect applet elements. Finally, Sikuli is an amazing library to locate elements based on their look (pixel by pixel), which is very useful to detect some Flash or Applet elements within GUI.
- "Selenium IDE" which is a simple plugin for Firefox, that has limited abilities to record and reply user actions along with using javascript snippets and parameterization.
- "WebDriver , AKA Selenium WD", is a package that can be as libraries to many programming languags such as Java, Ruby, Python and .net framework. Webdriver is way more powerful and flexible because you can use the programming language on your favor; For instance, you might want to use a database to read data as a data driven test, record results to another table, use Java robot to click on non-web elements or desktop windows, or even integrate Webdriver with headless browsers such as PhantomJS, that will help you to run the test in non-gui environments.
- Selenium Remote Control (RC) : This is a server-based selenium, being installed directly on web server and similar to WebDriver, can adopt various programming languages. In my opinion RC is getting obsolete and replaced with WebDriver except in special scenarios such as running multiple Webdriver Agents on client side as a Selenium Grid.
However, Selenium and WebDriver are not so strong on their own: They are weak on detecting Java applets and Flash elements and totally out of league when it comes to non-web elements. Fortunately, there are solutions to overcome such issues. For non-web elements, Java Robot or Python gtk is available. For modern Java applets that are based on swing elements, FEST is a useful tool to integrate with selenium to detect applet elements. Finally, Sikuli is an amazing library to locate elements based on their look (pixel by pixel), which is very useful to detect some Flash or Applet elements within GUI.
- Selenium Webdriver is very friendly with most browsers and operating systems
- It can be written in many languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, C#, Etc.
- Although it is free open source software, but there are very good documentations in support in web including stackoverflow and many forums and blogs.
- Recognize Adobe Flash and MS Silver Light elements without additional help
- Detect and locate Java applets ingredients
- Having the "Wait-till-Displayed" or "Wait-till-Present" as a built in Web Driver function instead of requirement for writing loops and defining expliccit wait, visiblewait, invisiblewait, etc.
We are doing a design functional/UI data-driven automation testing framework using Selenium WebDriver(Java) and TestNG. We have several projects automated with selenium. They are all running reliably. This is a great way to manage the test data, it is especially good for multi-platform testing. Using Selenium, TestNG and Maven is a good set for designing the automation testing framework.
- Saves time for a regression test.
- Good for UAT tests.
- Easy to integrate with other open source tools like Jenkins.
- Comparatively slow.
- Not as stable as API level testing.
