Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Selenium has proven to be a great tool within the software development cycle, specifically in the testing phase. We use Selenium in testing our front-end, client facing site. Our use spans from automating the placement of an order to ensuring the site is reachable and functional. We currently use Selenium in our QA/DevOps department. Selenium is a supplemental tool to our testing efforts and site monitoring.

Pros

  • Selenium is great at automating front-end browser testing.
  • Selenium supports most -- if not all -- browsers and operating systems.
  • Selenium has a concept of a grid in which you are able to run your test on remote machines running the application.

Cons

  • Selenium isn't the best tool for load testing.

Likelihood to Recommend

Selenium is well suited for testing a website and black box testing. Unfortunately where it lacks is load testing but I don't believe Selenium aims to be a all-encompassing testing application.
