As the software quality and testing processes are rapidly making the transition from manual to automated testing, many commercial tools are helping organizations to move towards automation. Selenium is one such open-source test automation platform that has become popular over the last few years and has strongly placed itself as the market leader in test automation.
Selenium has become a paradise for the programmers due to its support for the mainstream programming languages, extensibility, support for a wide range of browsers, and a large open-source community.
Though Selenium has huge potential in bringing the required agility in test automation, there are certain roadblocks in Selenium-based automation such as:
Return on investment (ROI) on Selenium-based automation highly depends on the programming skills of the team members
Steep learning curve for Selenium and pre-requisite for good coding standards
Development of multiple Selenium automation frameworks
Lack of in-built traceability across test assets
High cost of building and maintaining custom frameworks
Selenium test automation gives you the flexibility which is required to adapt to the modern technology and agile world and keep up with today’s continuous testing needs.
However achieving sustainable results from Selenium requires a lot of solid frameworks including the page object model, data-driven, execution, and reporting frameworks. Even with all these frameworks, you are not sure whether your test plan will give good test coverage and is scalable or not.
You can get all the power of Selenium with all the things you ever wanted to get in your custom framework wishlist with ACCELQ. Let’s discuss how ACCELQ complements the power of Selenium automation to enhance the automation development and maintenance speed by three times.
How ACCELQ Enhances Selenium Power?
