Frequently Asked Questions
Selenium 4 or Selenium 3?
Selenium 4 only — W3C WebDriver native, Selenium Manager auto-downloads drivers, BiDi protocol, Grid 4 with Docker + K8s. Selenium 3 is EOL.
TestNG or JUnit 5 with Selenium?
Both excellent. TestNG dominates Selenium tutorials (DataProvider patterns). JUnit 5 catching up — Selenium's own examples now use JUnit 5.
Should I migrate to Playwright?
For new projects — Playwright. For existing Selenium suites — stay, but plan a 18-24 month migration for new test development.
Allure or Extent Reports?
Allure for polyglot teams + AllureSelenide convenience. Extent Reports for Java/.NET only with polished UI out of the box.
Mobile testing in Selenium?
Use Appium — shares WebDriver protocol. Selenium WebDriver and Appium in the same Java suite is a common pattern.
Selenium Manager replace WebDriverManager?
Yes — built into Selenium 4.6+. No more third-party WebDriverManager dependency for most cases.
