Selenium IDE is an open-source record-and-playback test automation tool for the web, available as a Chrome/Firefox browser extension and an Electron desktop application. It lets users record browser interactions as test scripts, run them with control flow and assertions, and execute them cross-browser via a command-line runner.

Use cases

  • record browser tests without writing code
  • create end-to-end tests for a web app
  • replay recorded selenium scripts
  • run selenium ide tests in parallel on multiple browsers
  • export recorded tests to selenium code
  • debug flaky web ui tests with breakpoints

When to choose

  • you want a no-code, turn-key way to author web e2e tests
  • you need quick record-and-playback smoke tests without setup
  • you want to run recorded tests cross-browser via a CLI runner
  • you're new to test automation and want instant feedback

When to avoid

  • you need a full programmatic test framework with custom fixtures and CI integration depth
  • you require complex test logic beyond the built-in control flow commands
  • you're testing non-browser applications or native mobile apps
  • you need fine-grained version control and code review of test code
