"Selenium WebDriver and Selenium IDE are useful."
"We can run multiple projects at the same time and we can design both types of framework, including data-driven or hybrid. We have got a lot of flexibility here."
"The grids, as well as the selectors, are the most valuable features."
"It is compatible with and supports multiple languages, such as Java and Python. It is open source, and it is widely used."
"There is a supportive community around it."
"There are many useful features in Selenium that I like, and of the new features I particularly enjoy the Selenium Grid. With this, we can run many test cases in one go, and in one suite we can extract multiple results."
"The most valuable features are ExpectedConditions, actions, assertions, verifications, flexible rates, and third-party integrations."
"The most valuable features are test executor and development."
"I would like to see automatic logs generated."
"Improvement in Selenium's ability to identify and wait for the page/element to load would be a big plus. This would ensure that our failed test cases will drop by 60%."
"Selenium is good when the team is really technical because Selenium does less built-in methods. If it came with more built-in and pre-built methods it would be even easier for less technical people to work with it. That's where I think the improvement can be."
"In the beginning, we had issues with several test cases failing during regression. Over a period of time, we built our own framework around Selenium which helped us overcome of these issues."
"Selenium could offer better ways to record and create scripts. IDE is available, however, it can be improved."
"Could have additional readability and abstraction."
"For email-based applications, we can't automate as we would like to, making it necessary to bring in a third-party product to do so."
"Selenium HQ doesn't have any self-healing capabilities."
"TestLeft captures a lot of space in terms of memory, which is one issue that can be improved."
