Selenium HQ Scalability

Naveen Alok - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Developer at Novo Nordisk

It is certainly scalable. It depends on how you want to use it. You can use it over a grid with multiple office machines, or you can run it standalone.

Companies can scale it to a certain extent, yes. However, if I have to do execution on Selenium grid or something like that, therefore, it's pretty scalable.

There are a lot of people using the product. I'm not sure about the number, however, it's likely around 500 people.

MF
QA Automation Engineer at XPO Logistics

We have a dozen teams at our company, and each one of them is independent. We give them a pretty extensive Selenium framework, and then they basically start building based on that architecture and create their test cases and page objects.

In terms of its usage, Selenium is our testing framework. We use Jenkins to perform our test cases. A lot of them are done through a pipeline, and a lot of them are queued on to run automatically. There are triggers in there to run something every day at 9:00 AM. We don't have to manually say that we want to test this aspect of our page. 

The excellence team now has four people, and that's just the team that manages the framework. There are 25 people who can do test automation. They do manual tests and automation. They use the same framework, and if they find some issues, they'll ask us. If they're constantly having to do a certain function and having to write the Selenium code for it, they will ask us to do that. We might create a tool inside the framework to make their life quicker. We can put it inside the common Selenium framework so that it is always available to everybody.

The scalability of Selenium HQ is good. It can be scaled. There are some robotic files that can be added to scale up the solution.

We have approximately 2,000 to 3,000 users using this solution in our company.

Depending on the project we are involved with, we could use the solution daily, weekly, or monthly.

Selenium is not so scalable. It's not like other software. There are a couple of dependencies where you can make it grow or shrink depending on your needs. In general, it's okay.

QA Team Lead at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

This is not really scalable. 

If you consider load tests or multi-thread testing, you need very powerful hardware to start several browsers. That's why in this aspect, not very scalable if you run tests in parallel.

We just have two people leveraging the solution right now. They use it regularly, on a daily basis.

KR
Software engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

We run scenarios at midnight or around that time and split this application into virtual machines. So during that time, the application is executed in panel mode. Let's say I have 10 vital missions in the Google Cloud Platform. These things will be triggered automatically and executed in each of the machines. And it has a balancing load concept, so if one machine is at capacity, it will automatically move to a second machine for the other scenarios. So there is never an issue with scalability. We have more than 1,000 employees in the company using it every day to develop scripts.

VictorHorescu - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Executive Officer at iqst

It's difficult to scale with Selenium. I would say, yes, but with a little bit of doubt, because I have to install many other products on top of it and that requires technical knowledge and time.

It is less scalable than Micro Focus. Micro Focus comes like an already made package to be scaled from a small company to an enterprise. For Selenium, I have to work on it and develop some additional things, configurations, integrations, etc.

Mudasir Shafi - PeerSpot reviewer
Testing Lead at Enstoa

This is certainly a scalable product. However, based on our requirements, we haven't had a need to scale. It's used in-house and at the moment, there are only five people who use it.

It's a standalone tool, so you put it in one place and everybody uses the coding scripts that you write.

We do have plans to expand our automation capabilities, and if so, it will expand our usage of Selenium.

Software quality engineer at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees

Selenium HQ's scalability depends on the modularity of the product. Our product was more modular. When we made the product testable for one document, we were able to test 20,000 documents with it. So the scalability was quite impressive.

We have three people in the testing team who are using it.

We are considering expanding usage. Since it has reduced the business time, there are new scenarios that other business teams were using it for. So they asked us to include those scenarios as well, reducing the time.

Harold Rios - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at Finding Technology Company

I've never tried to scale the solution, however, it's my understanding that it is possible. On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate the potential to scale at a six or seven.

The tool is open source. Typically, when something is a commercial solution, there is more of a possibility of being scalable. We depend on other developers to grow the tool. 

Last year, we only had two people on the tool. However, this year, I want to grow that number to about ten. They are all engineers. Of the team, 80% would be quality engineers and 20% would be developers.

We are a small setup so have four or five users in the company. I've worked in bigger companies where thousands have used the solution on a daily basis, so it's very scalable. 
It's not the solution that deals with scalability, it's the cloud or a virtual system that enables scaling. If there are 1,000 test cases that I want to commute in an hour, then sometimes the reports can be messy.
