What are the limitations of Selenium?


Limitations are as follows:

1. It does not support non web-based applications, it only supports web based applications.
2. It is open source tool so technical issues can be resolved by selenium community forums.
3. You need to know at least one of the supported language very well in order to automate your application.
4. No inbuilt reporting capability, for this you need plugins like JUnit and TestNG for test reports.
5. Identifying the locators that support common attributes like id, names etc as well as XPATH, javascript DOM and others (Use firebug for finding the locators)
6. Selenium IDE does not supports loop and data driven testing.
7. No option to verify the images.

I will keep posting concepts related to Selenium along with QTP/UFT.
