Selenium is an open‑source umbrella project that provides tools and libraries for automating web browsers. It implements the W3C WebDriver standard and offers language bindings, a record‑and‑playback IDE, and a Grid for distributed testing.
Use cases
- automate end‑to‑end tests for a web application across multiple browsers
- record and replay user interactions for quick bug reproduction
- run large test suites in parallel on a Selenium Grid
- scrape dynamic web pages that require JavaScript execution
- automate repetitive browser‑based admin tasks
When to choose
- You need cross‑browser support with a single API across many languages
- Your test suite must run on multiple machines or in a CI pipeline
- You require a mature, widely‑adopted ecosystem with many community resources
When to avoid
- You only need lightweight HTTP requests without a real browser
- You require headless browser automation with lower overhead than Selenium provides
- Your project is built on a platform not supported by Selenium bindings
