Overall Satisfaction with Selenium
We're using Selenium on most of our applications which are Web UI based. It's a great tool as it's open source and supports multi browsers including headless browsers. We use Selenium along with SauceLabs to run tests on cross browser/cross os systems.
- For any web based UI automation, Selenium is the best tool out there to automate your tests.
- It supports multiple coding languages like Java, Python, Ruby, C# etc.. to choose from.
- There is a huge community of users and can get many answers on StackOverFlow.
- It has lot of other plugins to make your tests even more efficient.
- Mocking backend api calls can be implemented like cypress.
- Visual validation on UI is a challenge using Selenium and can get better.
- Automating Captchas, vidio/audio files can be improved.
- Open source Web UI automation tool with support of multiple browsers and multiple coding languages gives great flexibility.
- Can be easily used for implementing parallel execution of tests.
- CICD integration with Jenkins Pipeline.
- ROI has positively improved massively as it's open source tool.
- Flexibility on choosing programming language.
- No negative impact.
- Micro Focus UFT One (formerly HP UFT) and Tricentis Tosca
Selenium is way better than those two as it's free and has great community support.
