Just to get an other datapoint: we used to build tests for selenium with selenium ide too, but quickly found out that the used selectors for the elements often had to be manually tweaked, and so we switched to http://nightwatchjs.org/ http://nightwatchjs.org/ for our tests, and write them by hand.
Tests are more reliable now, and devs are happy with it. Based on my (limited) experience, selenium ide is not something that is absolutely needed. It's a fine piece of software, but devs can do fine without.
- k__ 9y agoAre these E2E tests robust? I found they often break easily

- y0ghur7_xxx 9y agoYes they work. The only thing you have to watch out for is the timing for the assertions with .waitForElementVisible('[name="main"]', 10000) otherwise you sometimes check for a value in a field, but the field is not there yet, and the test fails. That's the only gotcha we found we have to be careful about.
