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?
Cross browser support is still a challenge with Selenium. Hope it will be improved in future. Unfortunately one cannot run Selenium in background. So if you don't have additional monitor you have to keep a dedicated environment for your automation scripts to run
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Selenium is a “Browser Automation” tool, as defined on the website, that is, a tool that allows us to automatically create and operate certain testing steps of websites through our web browser. For example, when we want to test the correct and incorrect operation scenarios of the user registration page of our website, we can automate steps such as opening the user registration page with Selenium, filling in the input fields on the page, clicking on the button... So it makes it easier for us to do functional tests of our practice.

What differentiates Selenium from other similar products?
Selenium is open source and free to use which is the top point where it differentiates from other similar tools in market. It can be used to automate any web based applications; it can be easily integrated with Maven, TestNG, Jenkins to enhance the code for automation. If you are good in java it is very easy to pick up selenium since its framework can also be installed on Eclipse IDE. Selenium IDE works based on record and playback mechanism which helps in automating lot of manual test cases which saves lot of efforts, time and money. Easy to bring more projects from clients.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Features which I like the best are : Selenium is very easy to implement. Able to perform Functional and Unit testing in very effective way. It supports multiple framework and coding languages. It works on almost every operating system with great support. Helps to perform regression testing via selenium in very less period of time Supports browsers like Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari. Easy interface and quick and easy record and playback with extraction of test code in Junit
What do you dislike most about this product?
Coding knowledge required in order to use selenium. Limited to only use of web based applications, has no support to automate windows based applications. It cannot be used for load testing or performance testing. Also, as its free software and open source, hard to get technical support on complex issues.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is very easy to learn and use if you are having coding background. If you are looking to automate any web based application test cases, selenium is the tool to go with. Open source, free software and every effective.
