Selenium test automation
The long-established WebDriver standard — most often encountered as a suite that already exists and has to keep working.
Browser testing
Chosen per project
Maintainable handover
Selenium has been the backbone of browser automation for over a decade, and a great deal of enterprise test tooling is built on it. If you have an existing suite, replacing it is rarely the right first move: the tests encode real knowledge about how the system behaves.
It is also the right choice where you need to drive a specific browser version or a device farm through the WebDriver protocol, which is a genuine requirement in enterprises supporting older environments.
What we build with Selenium
Maintaining and extending an existing Selenium suite
Testing across a matrix of specific browser and OS versions
Grid-based parallel execution in an internal environment
Integrating existing tests into a modern CI pipeline
Where it fits — and where it does not
Good fit when
Established suites with accumulated business knowledge
Strict browser-version compatibility requirements
Teams already skilled in WebDriver
Consider something else when
New suites, where Playwright is quicker to write and far less flaky
Modern single-page applications, where explicit waits become a burden
Making an inherited suite trustworthy again
The usual order of work on a suite people have stopped believing.
Measure flakiness
Run repeatedly; rank tests by inconsistency.
Remove sleeps
Replace timing guesses with real conditions.
Consolidate selectors
Page objects so markup changes cost once.
Parallelise
Bring the run inside the build window.
How we work with Selenium
Page objects
Interface details behind page classes, so a markup change is one edit rather than fifty.
Explicit waits only
Fixed sleeps removed and replaced with condition-based waits — the single biggest cause of flakiness.
Grid parallelism
Execution spread across a grid so a long suite finishes inside a build.
Quarantine, do not ignore
Unreliable tests quarantined and fixed on a schedule rather than left failing until nobody reads the results.
Our typical Selenium setup
| Concern | What we use |
|---|---|
| Bindings | Java, C#, Python or JavaScript, matching your existing suite |
| Execution | Selenium Grid or a cloud device farm |
| Structure | Page object model with shared fixtures |
| Stability | Explicit waits, retry policy, quarantine list |
| Reporting | CI-integrated reports with screenshots on failure |
Frequently asked questions
For a new suite, start with Playwright. For an existing one, migrate gradually if flakiness or speed is genuinely costing you — a rewrite that loses the encoded knowledge is a poor trade.
Almost always fixed sleeps and selectors coupled to styling. Both are fixable without rewriting the suite, and doing so usually restores confidence quickly.
Yes, headless in CI with a grid for parallelism, reporting results alongside the build.
Services built with Selenium
Software Maintenance
Keeping working systems working — including ones built by somebody else.
Enterprise Software Development
Systems for organisations where several departments, sites and approval chains all have to work from the same data.
Web Application Development
Applications that run in the browser, handle real workloads and hold up when several departments depend on them at once.
Custom Software Development
Software shaped around the way your business already works, instead of a packaged product you have to reorganise around.
