A Tale of Two Automation Tools
Selenium and Sahi started as open source tools around the same time and from the same company. Both tried to solve the problem of UI automation and both have been successful in their own ways. But the resemblance ends there. Selenium became Webdriver and became one of the most popular free tools in testing. Sahi became commercial Sahi Pro and is successfully used in various organizations to automate complex UI's spanning web, desktop and mobile applications. Right from who the user of the tool is to whether the tool should be open source or commercial, there are various philosophical, technical and commercial junctures where Selenium and Sahi have diverged. Based on our journey of over 10 years, this talk reflects on those divergent decision points, the philosophy behind those and what their outcomes have been.
