Over the years, Selenium has emerged as one of the prominent testing tools for software quality assurance. There were benefits of using Selenium particularly for testing the User Interface (UI) of the software. And the most exciting fact about Selenium is that it is an open source. Yes, Selenium is an excellent software testing framework for testing web applications thats available on the internet at free of cost. It is released under the Apache 2.0 open source license and can be downloaded and used without any restrictions.







In spite of the meritorious facts about Selenium that includes its domain-specific language compatibility, support for many leading programming languages and compatibility with almost every modern browsers, there are several myths about Selenium that exists among the software testing community. Here, in this blog, we’ll discuss some of the popular myths perceived about this open-source testing framework,




This Open-Source tool comes with limitations




Selenium is completely free and there is a premium version of any separate edition other than an updated open-source framework. Many rumors and myths exist among the testing professionals that the features and facilities are limited in the open-source Selenium tool.




Selenium is not enterprise-worthy!




Since the tool is available for free, many perceive that Selenium is not enterprise worthy, so some opt for some costlier tool. But, this is totally untrue and most of the experts in the testing profession would rubbish this myth. In fact, Selenium is one of the most sought after tool for UI testing by most leading software manufacturers in the world. Being a product of Apache Software Foundation (ASF), one of the prominent leaders in software manufacturing, Selenium has quite a lot advanced features and benefits incorporated.




Selenium doesn’t release quick updates and bug-fixes




Again, this is a widely existing myth which is not just about Selenium but about every open-source resource in this world. Software professionals across the world think that open-source resources delay bug-fixes and updates than the premium software providers. But, in reality, this is just the opposite. An open-source software or framework provides access to experts all across the world to recommend improvements, updates, and bugfixes. This wide exposure and influence would help the open-source resources to provide more updates and bug-fixes more than the premium paid tools. Selenium too has this advantage and has an impressive track record of providing updates and bug-fixes.




Selenium makes software vulnerable to security breaches




Of course, the security constraints are one of the important concerns of every software maker. And, not every open-source resource would guarantee the optimum security. But, when it comes to open-source resources from reputed organizations like Apache Software Foundation will never compromise on the security of both information and the organization using it.







It is globally acknowledged that Selenium is leading the UI tester's favorite list if you aspire to become a Selenium expert, your opportunities are here…
