Overall Satisfaction with Selenium

We've developed a customized automation framework around Selenium Webdriver and other supporting tools. It's being used by all the QA departments across the organization. The real business problem it addresses is very obvious to have good coverage of Regression Test Cases, which, in a way, helps to reduce the testing time cycle.

Pros

  • Reduce overall test execution time
  • Automating Web UI components
  • Helps to achieve great coverage of Regression Test Cases

Cons

  • Support for desktop-based application automation
  • Reach HTML Reports
  • Browser support compatibility
  • Reduced overall testing time
  • Improved CI/CD process
  • Less manual efforts
The first obvious thing is Selenium, an open-source tool, and it has a wide-open community for support. Well, on the other hand, Silk Test is a paid tool. With the combination of different tools in the market, we can build a solution for Web and Mobile based automation using selenium web driver libraries. Hence an organization can achieve more ROI.
Well, selenium is an open-source tool, and it might not have a dedicated Customer Support team. You can seek help from its wide-open community who are always there to support, but one needs to post their queries on relevant open forums and websites. But still, it's so widely used product. You can easily get help from all the open forums on the net.

Yes

Did Selenium live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Selenium go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Selenium again?

Yes

Selenium is best suited for web and mobile-based automation testing. Mainly an automation framework built around selenium web driver is used for Regression Testing coverage, hence testing time can be reduced.

Selenium is less appropriate for organizations where desktop-based applications are being used, and they are looking for automation solutions.
