Selenium IDE is a heritage extend going back to the times of Selenium RC. The last time it got refreshed was in 2015. I don't think somebody will get the venture and port it to Chrome.
Still, on the off chance that you need a free Selenium IDE elective, look at Katalon Studio. Our group has utilized it some time recently, and it has a few focal points over Selenium IDE:
- It is still in dynamic advancement. I get new forms at regular intervals or something like that, with numerous upgrades in each.
- It packs everything together including Web Drivers for prevalent programs and Android SDK. That implies you should simply to download and unfasten the bundle.
- It can record tests on both web application (Chrome/Firefox/IE, Windows/macOS) and portable application (Android/iOS).
- It executes tests through Selenium 3 (the most recent adaptation). For cutting edge utilize cases, you can execute your test on cloud-based programs or gadgets (Saucelabs, BrowserStack, Kobeton, just to give some examples).
- The charges (they call them Keywords) are practically identical to Senseless summons, and you can compose scripts in Groovy on the off chance that you know programming. Watchword mode (Record and Playback) and Script mode are constantly tradable. This facilitates the coordinated effort amongst engineers and analyzers particularly those with constrained or no programming aptitudes.
- It bolsters Page Object, Data-Driven Testing, and so on and you can include different libraries or broaden it capacities in light of the fact that the hidden script is Groovy in any case. I know a few people have effectively made utilization of Sikuli or Gallen system inside Katalon. It is an imperative purpose of movement to Selenium by the way - taking favorable circumstances of a free and open biological community in light of W3C standard as opposed to locking yourself with costly and obsolete business instruments.
- It coordinates well with JIRA, and tests can be executed by means of CLI.
Whatever device you pick, there are a few criteria you should focus on:
- Is the instrument still in dynamic improvement? On the off chance that it is an open source extend, you can check their GitHub action. Something else, audit past discharge notes. Changing to another instrument is expensive, particularly if existing experiments must be revamped, so ensure it will be around for quite a long while.
- Is the innovation upheld by prominent programs and stages? Concede, a few programs such, yet the length of your clients utilize them, your tests ought to be executable on these programs. One uplifting news is that the JSON Wire Protocol, which powers Selenium, is acknowledged and supported by W3C, including Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Mozilla.
- How great is its capacity to coordinate with other QA instruments, and is it conceivable to stretch out the usefulness to fit your association?
