What is Selenium?
Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well.

Improves the process of web testing

What differentiates Selenium from other similar products?
Selenium WebDriver is the most excellent automation tool available, and it's open-source and free. Since Selenium is the standard for automated online quality assurance, you can find solutions to your many queries everywhere on the web. After you get through the installation and initial setup, all the commands are relatively simple to comprehend.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like that the Selenium driver is a free and open-source library that works with several programming languages. I sped the execution of test cases up compared to competing tools, and it is simple to locate and implement on websites. It works with various browsers and operating systems and can get programmed in multiple languages. I love it!
What do you dislike most about this product?
Only the Java programming language has such comprehensive and well-written documentation; users of other languages may run into difficulties and rely heavily on online resources like Google for help. Only web-based applications will work, and Windows programs will not. Also, this tool does not allow for direct app testing.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I have relied on Selenium WebDriver to automate and streamline my web-based software testing. Even if you have no experience with Automation, you can get started using Selenium immediately. If you need to test websites, Selenium Grid is your tool. Try Selenium if you want to do automated tests for your online application.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Effective Service

Robust platform to test website and software

What differentiates Selenium from other similar products?
I have never seen any tool like Selenium which is completely autonomous software. Selenium includes a plugin called Selenium IDE that can be integrated with a variety of web browsers. I really appreciate how easily it integrates the automation of testing operations, removing the possibility of human mistakes. Its setup is simple, and its platform is simple to grasp.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I mostly use it for automated testing. It is simple to implement in any language, such as Java or Python. Selenium provides several ways that are both valuable for automation and simple to understand. Include a collection of Selenium test cases for each development module to aid in testing the functionality of the development module. An automation suite is set up to run for each change to development code; this considerably reduces side effects.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Some web applications update content dynamically, what I've encountered in my journey is stale element exceptions quite frequently, and it would be a useful feature if Selenium included a find element retry mechanism. Selenium UI reports can also be improved, and some data advanced error detection and error correction can be implemented.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
100% perfect tool! Selenium is an established framework. Writing automation test cases using Selenium requires minimal coding skills, but it saves a lot of time and work once the correct collection of scenarios is found and automated. We can execute a rapid regression of a production-ready build with accurate scenarios and save a lot of time by manually testing such cases.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Efficient Service
- Effective Service
- Caring
