## About Selenium IDE
- Open Source
- Frontend Testing Framework
- Browser Extension
- Exportable to Selenium
- Browser Recording
## Pros
- Easy to Start - The ability to record browser interactions, as opposed to writing each step manually, saves time
- Exportable - You can quickly transition to selenium code that can run in your environment testing frameworks
- Visual Testing - You can have test that actually verifies features from the client side
## Cons
- Dynamic apps - Tests can be broken often if application is consistently updated or elements are dynamically rendered
- Not in Backend - Doesn't have access to backend API's when not integrated into your environment
- Manual Save - Progress can be lost if the browser is closed without saving
## Command Line Interface
You can schedule and run scripts programmaticly via the selenium-side-runner
```bash
npm install -g selenium-side-runner
```
Be Aware: This can’t execute custom code!
