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 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.

Best UI Automation tool
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Selenium from other similar products?
Selenium is probably the best automation tool in the market which is open source and free to use. Selenium IDE and Web Driver both are very easy to understand and simple to use. Majorly best used to automated web applications and supports almost all browsers, also can be worked on any operating systems. Frameworks are hard to create but can be customized based on our requirement which makes further tasks easy to automate. Any coding language can be used like java, ruby, python etc. which makes it stands apart from other automation tools in the market.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Selenium helps to automate manual test cases which saves lot of time and manual efforts due to which productivity is increased, money is saved as less resources required in comparison to manual work. It can be integrated easily with customer automation frameworks like TestNG which generates test reports very quickly. It helps in automating the web based applications and to prepare and run regression suites whenever required, Lastly, Selenium has changed carriers and given a chance to all manual testers to aspire and learn automation very easily which has helped industry to bring in any project and deliver it in very less time.
What do you dislike most about this product?
User has to know programming basics at least knowledge on core java, else it is very difficult to automate / write code for complex test cases. Lack of support to windows based applications, widely used only for web based applications. Technically speaking it is very difficult to handle dynamic elements and some times very tricky.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you are good in coding and aspire to learn automation, selenium is the best to go with. It is open source, free to use and has very good community support. Manual work should be replaced with automation work and I would recommend to all manual testers to start automation carrier by using selenium.

Without any programming language one can not easily use selenium tool which is the main basic problem for manual testers and even who doesn't have any coding interest. It is not script less automation tool. Doesn't support for desktop applications and is more inclined towards web based applications.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is an open source tool and can be easily used for training whoever wants to learn, mainly good for manual testers to upskill and switch to automation testing which has wider exposure now in the current market. Can start automation journey by automating test cases for web based applications once you are familiar with coding then it would be very easy to switch to any other language. I highly recommend to use for betterment of your carrier.
