[4.4/5]
Selenium is a reliable and versatile open-source tool for web automation, supporting many programming languages and browsers. It has a strong community and good integration options, but can be complex for beginners and has some limitations with dynamic content and reporting.

Our Expert's Opinion
[4.2/5]
After trying Selenium with some other test tools in mind, I feel it is a very powerful but also not very simple tool. I like that it is free, works with many browsers and many languages, and can run tests in parallel with Grid, which is great when a project grows big. But I also see that writing and maintaining tests can be slow and hard, the setup for things like Selenium Grid is confusing, and small changes in the web page can easily break tests and make them feel flaky. The IDE is easy at the start, but record-and-playback tests quickly become weak and messy, so for serious work you still need coding skills and extra tools for reporting and stable waits. Overall, Selenium gives you a lot of control and fits complex, real projects, but it also asks you to invest time, learn good practices, and accept that there will be ongoing maintenance work.
