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.

Best Open Source Product For Web API Testing
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Selenium from other similar products?
Selenium is having lot of unique feature some of the unique features are ,Parallel executions feature using same browser in parallel and different browser in parallel as well. Easy Integration with CI tools and version controlling tools. Support multiple browser like Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc. It's very useful for Website Automations like data-process automation and data collection. Even without technical experience, you can create test suites and validation using the recording tool. It can be integrated with lot of third party applications. There is a huge community of users and can get resolution of your query easily.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It's very useful application for automating web API and running automatic script to get the test coverage. Some of them are, Smooth to automate web applications, different options to locate web elements, open source and having the ability to integrate with testing frameworks. Support different browser like chrome, safari, firebox etc. It will work fine with different OS as well. You can connect to Git and Jenkin to automate your task easily which reduce lot of manual effort. We can use Selenium to automate the form-filling process and It can be used for data scraping as well. Helps to achieve great coverage of Regression Test Cases.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It's a great helpful product for testing and automating but still it require improvement in some areas. Some of them are, If you don't have programming language understanding then it is difficult to learn and adapt in their software projects. Not supporting automate windows applications, currently used to automate only web applications. It is too complex for the newer people to get started on. Images Testing is not supported. And take little more time when you are trying to run the script for a large product.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I will recommend all testing team to use Selenium, By using this they can reduce manual testing effort while performing Regression or end to end testing. Easy to automate web application, Identify web elements keep them in to the Object repository, Whatever the operation need to perform like click, Send Keys, are easily to perform. By using selenium WebDriver we have separate OR and Test case files. All the function need to create in the OR and call those functions in Test java file. Selenium is an open source application with large helpful community so you will get help easily when you need.
