Selendroid vs Selenium: What are the differences?

  1. 1. Execution Language: Selendroid: Supports only Java as the execution language. This means that developers can write test scripts only in Java when using Selendroid. Selenium: Supports multiple languages such as Java, C#, Python, Ruby, and JavaScript for writing test scripts. This allows developers to choose their preferred language for test automation.

  2. 2. Mobile Platform Support: Selendroid: Primarily designed for Android mobile applications, Selendroid provides native and hybrid app support for Android versions up to 7.0. Selenium: Selenium has broader platform support and can automate testing for both Android and iOS mobile applications. It provides support for the latest versions of both platforms.

  3. 3. Architecture: Selendroid: Selendroid is a standalone server that runs as an embedded Android app automation framework. It integrates with the Android driver provided by Selenium. Selenium: Selenium consists of Selenium WebDriver, which is a collection of language-specific bindings to interact with browser-based applications, and Selenium Grid, which allows parallel test execution across multiple machines.

  4. 4. Native App Testing: Selendroid: Selendroid supports native app testing, providing the ability to interact with the native components of an Android application. Selenium: Selenium WebDriver also supports native app testing through the mobile-specific drivers like Appium, which allows interaction with native elements of both Android and iOS applications.

  5. 5. Popularity and Community Support: Selendroid: Selendroid has a relatively smaller community compared to Selenium, resulting in fewer resources, tutorials, and community support. Selenium: Selenium has a larger and more active community, making it easier to find resources, tutorials, and assistance from other users.

  6. 6. Cross-Platform Testing: Selendroid: Selendroid is primarily focused on Android app testing and does not have native support for cross-platform testing. Selenium: Selenium provides support for cross-platform testing, allowing automation of web applications across various platforms and browsers.

In Summary, Selendroid is limited to Java, supports only Android, has a standalone architecture, focuses on native app testing, has a smaller community, and lacks cross-platform support when compared to Selenium.

      What is Selendroid?

      Selendroid is a test automation framework which drives off the UI of Android native and hybrid applications (apps) and the mobile web. Tests are written using the Selenium 2 client API

      What is Selenium?

      Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
