Why Selenium test automation is bad? 01
02
Programming language is required
There are some automated testing tools such as Ranorex and TestComplete that doesn’t require a tester to have deep knowledge in programming.
03
More focused on Webbased apps
Poor reporting management
For desktop applications, Selenium is not the right tool to conduct testing. The objects in desktop apps cannot be recognized by Selenium.
Whether it may be testers, developers or managers, they would require a certain reporting format where they can have a clear idea as to how the tests have been performed.
