May 22, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Create a WebDriver instance.
Navigate to a Web page.
Locate an HTML element on the Web page.
Perform an action on an HTML element.
Anticipate the browser response to the action.
Run tests and record test results using a test framework.
Conclude the test.

Pros

Selenium is the best UI and Data automation tool currently on the market.
Ease of use is a primary selling point

Cons

I am ok moving from the free model if enhancements and updates can continue
This is the best tool on the market and a little bit of IT support would go a long way!

Likelihood to Recommend

As I said earlier...This IS the industry standard for test automation.

Hands-down the best browser automation tool

Rating: 10 out of 10

March 17, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use both Selenium IDE for quick-and-dirty automation tasks by non-technical users and the Java bindings to build out a robust suite of functional tests we can run for regression testing automatically. We also use the Python and Node bindings for similar tasks and automation efforts outside of testing, like deployment verification or monitoring of the site.

Pros

Test automation; this is hands-down the best library for writing a suite of tests.
Interfacing with browsers; this allows for cross-browser testing without much thought.
Distributed testing in a grid. You can even get set up with Docker to automatically scale the nodes out as you run tests.
AWS integration.

Cons

The bindings can sometimes be difficult to use; functions aren't quite named how you expect sometimes.
The naming is idiomatic to the language of the binding, which can make applying an example in one language to another language challenging.
Internet Explorer remains a problem, and the drivers are often buggy.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for anything that requires browser automation. ANYTHING. Including repeated order generation for testing order completion scenarios, running kiosk displays where you walk through the software, et cetera.

Selenium, try it!

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.
