What are the Selenium Tool Limitations?
Introduction
Let’s go through some of the limitations of the Selenium tool framework.
Limitations
No Desktop Automation
One of the major limitations of the Selenium tool is that it only supports Web application automation. We can only automate what we can do in a browser using Selenium. It can not be used to automate Desktop applications.
No Dedicated Support
Dedicated Support for the tool. The tool being open-source, it doesn’t have a dedicated support channel. Automation engineer has to search online for help or support.
Reporting capabilities
Selenium doesn’t have in-built reporting capabilities. We have to rely on other frameworks to build test reports for automation.
Programming Knowledge
Test engineers need a degree of programming knowledge to code automation tests using Selenium. The tool has a learning curve and new test engineers take time to work on the Selenium automation.
