Selenium WebDriver Reviews & Product Details - Page 4

What I like the most is

- Language Agnostic -- Have used selenium using multiple languages (Java, Kotlin Python etc) since it's a library all we need to know is the syntax

- Learning wise it's a best suit for even beginners as per the first point since it's a language agnostic if a tester knows the correct class / method to be used then it's a boon for both the employee and the organisation

- Though there is no paid support since it is an open source yet we can find many valuable answers for any question that you may have in Stackoverflow, medium.com etc

- easy integration with browserstack

- have used selenium code integrating with Zap tool for security testing just by routing the driver thru Zap proxy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes selenium tests can be flaky eg. it always expects the click event to be at the center of the button this means if the web page load completely then we need to use the workaround to make it pass

- shadowDom element identification is bit tough unlike cypress Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Selenium is by and large the most widely accepted solution across the entirety of automated quaility assurance for websites, so there are a lot of answers to the many questions that you'll have on pretty much any portion of the web that you end up in. However, now that there are viable options for not using selenium for web testing, Selenium no longer has the monopoly on web testing and is quickly losing to other newer and better technologies.

Unfortunately, there are so many problems baked into Selenium that it really does require a group of SDET's just to create a halfway decent framework for you to continue to run tests on Selenium. Examples include no page load retry out of the box, no ability to have multiple Ids defined for a given object on the page, no guidance for adopting things like the page object model, etc etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
