As you know Selenium is a free ware open source testing tool. There are many challenges with Selenium.
1. Selenium supports only web based applications.
2. It doesn’t support any non web based (Like Win 32, Java Applet, Java Swing, .Net Client Server etc) applications.
3. When you compare selenium with QTP, Silk Test, Test Partner and RFT, there are many challenges in terms of maintainability of the test cases.
4. Since Selenium is a freeware tool, there is no direct support if one is in trouble with the support of applications.
5. There is no object repository concept in Selenium, so maintainability of the objects is very high
6. There are many challenges if one have to interact with Win 32 windows even when you are working with Web based applicati ons.
7. Bitmap comparison is not supported by Selenium.
8. Any reporting related capabilities, you need to depend on third party tools.
9. You need to learn any one of the native language like (.Net, Java, Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby) to work efficiently with the scripting side of selenium.
First of all, in order to set requirements, user should be knowledgeable about programming. The most common language used is Java. Second, once requirements have been changed, the test needs to be adjusted manually. Third, Selenium IDE should be used with FireFox browser only.
