What you can do with Selenium

  • Drive Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari through the WebDriver standard.

  • Write tests in Java, Python, C#, Ruby or JavaScript, and run them from CI.

  • Scale browsers across machines with Selenium Grid.

  • Draw on the largest ecosystem in browser automation.

Selenium is an open-source umbrella project. Teams design their own framework around it and decide where Grid runs.

What you can do with DoesQA

Also in DoesQA: run tests on Chrome, Edge and Firefox, start Runs from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Azure DevOps, and connect results to Slack or Teams.

Hosted, with nothing to run

Runs go to hosted parallel browsers, so there is no Grid to build or keep alive. Every Result carries a step timeline, screenshots and video, so a failure is plain to see.

Faster maintenance

Shared Elements and Step Groups take the place of page objects, so one fix updates every Flow that uses them. Maintenance is at least 400% faster than coded frameworks for the same journeys.
