Top 5 Challenges for Selenium Users (San Francisco Meetup)
August 26th, 2009 by John DunhamThe San Francisco Selenium Meetup group held a session at Twitter HQ earlier this month. We asked attendees questions about their experience using Selenium, including: rank the top challenges they face using Selenium. The Top 5 Challenges for SF Selenium meetup users were, in order:
- Test brittleness
- Infrastructure maintenance
- Test run-time duration
- Documentation
- Selenium Grid Instability
Bear in mind survey participants had just signed up to attend a talk about how to improve test creation efficiency and maintenance, so the ranking of first issue may reflect a non-random sample.
