Overall Satisfaction with Selenium

Our organization uses Selenium for QA purposes. It is used to automate UI and interface testing as well as implemented part of our Test-Driven Development. It helps us create many test cases and give us the ability to report back on several metrics of the performance of the system. It is used primarily by our developers, technical services, and QA teams.
  • Ease of Implementation
  • Best for Automated testing
  • Since it is open-source, there is no technical support available except for forums.
  • Difficult to use and create test cases if not familiar with it.
  • Selenium allows for easy testing of web apps, which lowers QA costs and keeps consistency in test cases.
  • It also allows multi-browser support and testing, which cuts down QA testing.
We have looked at other options, but none are open source like Selenium and easily plug able into different web applications. Selenium does not cost anything, and although you don't get support for it, there are many technical forums our there that provide troubleshooting if needed. Other Automation software we looked at does come with more options, but Selenium was the easiest to use and support.
Selenium does not have technical support available easily. You have to go through forums to get the information you need. However, there are excellent forums out there that make it easy to troubleshoot. The open-source flexibility makes it difficult to have dedicated support.

Selenium is an excellent tool for automating the testing of web applications. If you have an application that has is heavily focused on the user experience and interface, it can make it easier to test and create use cases and be reported on it. It can also help test the application with multiple browsers, which has always been a challenge for tech software companies. Selenium is not useful for automating web scraping, etc.
