Web Automation Framework Trend ⇒ Selenium WebDriver

The only automation framework that is W3C Compliant

The above is a slide in my Web Test Automation with Selenium WebDriver training, created in 2018.

  ∘ Free Open-Source Frameworks
· Show case: Facebook uses WebDriver for all its End-to-End Testing
· How about JavaScript test automation frameworks such as Cypress, TestCafe, and Puppeteer?

Traditional Testing Tools

With the rise of Selenium WebDriver, there are generally three outcomes for those commercial testing tools (usually very expensive).

1. Change to support Selenium WebDriver

• HP QTP → Micro Focus UFT → LeanFT (supports Selenium WebDriver)

HP was “the industry leader” of test automation before selling its testing tool business to Micro Focus in 2017. Micro Focus is now a Selenium Level Sponsor of Selenium WebDriver.

2. Try to link to Selenium WebDriver somehow

Ranorex, SmartBear, Applitools, .., etc. are the Selenium Level Sponsors of Selenium WebDriver.
