The EL list is getting pretty big and many of them seem to violate WP:EL. But I'm afraid that just cleaning will start an edit war. Suggestions? AliveFreeHappy ( talk) 21:45, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
I don't see the list that long, as of today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gmarinp ( talk • contribs) 21:24, 19 March 2013
hi All, I am a software tester and being a software tester, next thing I always look for a free sites that will allow me to practice selenium. I created a thread on the forum and attach it here. So other testing professionals can make use of these free sites. - mshah I am talking about this page, https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Selenium_(software)&action=history The list is growing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.97.17.164 ( talk) 12:56, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
The article is missing sections describing some of the newer components of selenium, mainly the Selenium WebDriver and Selenium Grid. Since this article refers to the Selenium framework as a whole and not just a specific component such as the Selenium IDE it would be beneficial to include information on all components.

A history section would be nice too since some of the components have since changed, and/or merged into different components, one of the creators Jason Huggins gives a good introduction to his though process and approach to creating Selenium in the book An Introduction to Testing Web Applications with twill and Selenium from the O'Reilly group.

Calling the Selenium commands a Domain Specific Language is a stretch - why not call it an |API? Rp ( talk) 12:34, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
..has no business to be mentioned on this page - should be moved to Test automation page IMHO. Even better if good gnomes created a page comparing test automation tools :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.37.171.204 ( talk) 17:57, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Done I removed it as it's clearly not part of the Selenium project. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 18:08, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
I'd like to propose a new section on this page, about tools that integrate with and extend Selenium. There is some info on the official Selenium Ecosystem page, but most of the tools listed are not notable IMO according to Wikipedia's guidelines. So my idea is to have the following subsections:
Any feedback would be appreciated. In the meantime I'm working on a draft of the text. Galit.lipovski ( talk) 16:39, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi, before I ask my question I'd like to disclose that I a represent Sauce Labs, one of the companies discussed on this page. But my question applies equally to all the vendors that appear on the page and affects the quality of the article.
I noticed the new "Selenium Ecosystem" section that lists notable Selenium testing companies. However, of the four companies listed, three do not have a Wikipedia article about them - Sauce Labs, BrowserStack and TestingBot - and there is also no link to their official sites.
The typical convention on Wikipedia is that when a company's name is mentioned, there is a link from the company name to a place providing more info about the company. If there is a Wikipedia page of course the destination of that link should be that page. But if there isn't a page, should there not be a link to the company's official site?
According to Wikipedia:External links, Official Links like these "are provided to give the reader the opportunity to see what the subject says about itself. These links are exempt from the links normally to be avoided."
It also says that "Official websites may be included in some infoboxes, and by convention are listed first in the External links section." But this refers to an official website which is the main subject of the page. Here the companies mentioned are ancillary, and it makes the most sense (IMO) to have the Official Links from the relevant section in which they appear.
Because of my conflict of interest I will of course refrain from editing the page myself. But I ask that the participating editors consider this matter and suggest a solution that will provide the opportunity to see "what the listed companies say about themselves" as per Wikipedia policy.

Selenium is not a framework. Look into framework definition. Software framework There is at least two "key distinguishing features" according which Selenium is not a framework: "inversion of control" and "extensibility". Selenium is "a suite of tools to automate web browsers across many platforms.". 89.22.4.3 ( talk) 12:27, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
The introduction currently starts like this: Selenium is a portable software-testing framework for web applications. From reading that, I'm not sure if it's a specialized tool to test the browser-based client of a web application, or if it also tests the operation of the server, independently of a browser. From what I've read in the rest of the article, it sounds like the first one is more accurate, but I'm not sure. A little clarity would be helpful. — MiguelMunoz ( talk) 22:56, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
