'not brittle' if you 'manually enter' isn't exactly a glowing review.
There's definitely some good with selenium, but I and others find it is often brittle and doesn't catch errors as reliably as would be ideal.
- alex__c 8y agoThe objects under test are brittle and bound to change dramatically. Selenium can't offer you insurance against this. I now remember a test suite we had on my project (automotive). We tested against the code structure... that is, we would follow a variable's lifetime and check that its value is correct throughout execution. Two releases later, guess which function got slightly refactored and threw off some 20 testcases?
