Overall Satisfaction with Selenium
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.
- Reducing manual testing efforts, which reduces costs
- Reducing bugs seen by end users
I have the most experience with selenium. I have used form filler, which is a Google add-on that allows you to create a form quickly. This is a little easier to use and has less setup time than selenium IDE, however, it is less powerful. I picked selenium because it is an industry leader with pretty good documentation; it is fairly easy to use, and it is a pretty powerful product.
