Selenium's dominance in the market comes from several factors: Open Source (no licensing costs), Polyglot support (Java, Python, C#, Ruby, JavaScript), Cross-browser compatibility (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge), and a massive community (millions of developers worldwide). These factors make it the industry standard for web automation.
Open source means you have full control and transparency. Polyglot support means your Java developers can use Java, while Python developers use Python—no language switching required. Cross-browser support means your tests run everywhere your users do.
Why would a large enterprise choose Selenium over a commercial tool like UFT (QTP) that comes with dedicated support?
