Question

I’m wondering what the pros and cons are of using Selenium Webdriver with the python bindings versus Java. So far, it seems like going the java route has much better documentation. Other than that, it seems down to which language you prefer, but perhaps I’m missing something.

Thanks for any input!

Answer 1

Generally speaking, the Java selenium web driver is better documented. When I’m searching for help with a particular issue, I’m much more likely to find a Java discussion of my problem than a Python discussion.

Another thing to consider is, what language does the rest of your code base use? If you’re running selenium tests against a Java application, then it makes sense to drive your tests with Java.
