Limitations

  • No built-in test runner, assertion library, or reporting; users assemble their own stack.
  • Automates web browsers only; no native desktop or mobile app support in core WebDriver.
  • Discourages testing file downloads, HTTP response codes, third-party logins, and 2FA through the browser.
