selenium-vs-hp

Selenium is an open source tool and supports different types of languages such as Java, Python, PHP, C#, Ruby and pure JavaScript. Selenium, to a large extent, uses Java scripting and is the most influential Open Source Automation tool.

It is ideal for the agile methodology of coding and testing.

Several advantages of Selenium testing are:

  • Selenium supports various languages such as Java, Python and PHP. It is the best tool for browser-based testing and handles all browsers such as IE, FF, Chrome, etc.
  • Selenium integrates to give a satisfactory framework for different verticals, like Maven or Ant for source code compilation; Test NG is used to drive tests, Jenkins to develop dashboards, and much more.
  • Jenkins in Selenium helps to connect the testers to multiple nodes and perform tests simultaneously.
  • Selenium is a freeware and can be easily integrated. Cost is a major advantage and the only cost to be spent is on human resources.

Disadvantages of Selenium include:

  • Organizations working on Selenium must invest on most experienced testers working in the same environment and an expertise in using the codes according to the standards.
  • Selenium supports only browser-based testing and fails to handle other window-based applications.
  • Selenium testers need not have to learn the tool from basics.

  • Web services testing is not part of Lean FT
  • It is used only for Mobile, Windows, Siebel UI, and Insight Image Recognition

As Selenium supports only browser-based application, the testers have better option of choosing Lean FT. The use of object identification center from visual studio or Eclipse IDE helps in identifying unique values to be used for object identification.
