What is Selenium?

Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The learning curve and the language is quiet difficult to learn. The testing modules and documentation is not much available over the internet. The IT support is not provided in the free package. The server and the tool is lazy for the free users. The functionality and features were not improving as gradually with the years. The automation scripts were missing to send the reports for the clients. No sharing of data is allowed or can export to other tools. The integration with cloud was missing. The recovery and backup of scripts is not available for free users. Integration with third party developers tools is not possible.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This product is free and open source and can be implement for the new project or startups to implement the test cases for their project. Although the learning curve is quite high so It requires a dedicates resource with good salary to operate the software. It can be used initially for learning purpose and implement the automation testing of the mobile applications. Later we can switch to other available tools like perfecto which provide more features in terms of report sharing and cloud integration. The price is cheaper as compared to other tools.

It offers unique ways of integration with other automation tools.
