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.

Free Test Automation tool for all
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Selenium from other similar products?
The first and major difference is that its free. We just need to addon some jar files and use some ide to make it work however some language and tool level expertise is required to work smoothly with selenium. Also it provides different framework. So that is one of the best feature i think it has to offer to its end users. They are continuously working on improvements and enhancements which is also good
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It allows me to make framework of my choice not like other tools which force us to follow their own framework. Since its free tool, you can add so many customizations to make your work easy. I simply share my work on git and take help from others because so many practitioners are working on it.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Security is one of the main concern for me and i think thats why most of the organization choose paid tool over selenium. Since it is free, it becomes very easy to breech the security in selenium. The passwords are not masked and kept in some configuration files can be easily look by random people.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you want to start with automation, you must start with selenium because it gives you huge variety and freedom to explore the test automation. Of course you can go for some paid tools but why not you consider Selenium consider as a play ground before entering into actual war zone of test automation. Its free and it works easily on any machine without much big configuration needed in begining.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Enables Productivity
- Inspires Innovation
- Saves Time

This is good software to start automating
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Selenium from other similar products?
We have implemented Selenium for tests that were more complex and that needed to variably combine some data with others, this was complex to carry with Spira Test for example, and in addition to being the most important tests and required more rigor, when carrying it By means of the scrip, it was executed in an easier way in automation reducing errors.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
What I like about this software is that the automation of the tests can be done at all levels, and the best thing is that you can put your best effort in the lower levels that result from the pillar for automation, as recommended. , I liked the way the tests that are unit and API are carried out, since some software seems that its strength is only at the user interface level.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The disadvantage of this software and of the same of this style is that they are believed to be completely reliable, but the truth is that if the automation is not well configured, you could be processing your tests that repeated errors over and over again, which would achieve it. that when discovering stretch marks in front of a great difficult mistake and that it will take a long time to be able to solve it.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would recommend this software since the support that it brings with it for all those who need to use it makes you feel that they really care that you use their software in an ideal way, the providers offer assistance by various means, email, telephone, chats, in person, in hotline, videos and webinars, documents and videos.
