Automatic WebDriver abilities:

SeleniumBase automatically handles common WebDriver actions such as spinning up web browsers and saving screenshots during test failures. (Read more about customizing test runs.)

Simplified code:

SeleniumBase uses simple syntax for commands, such as:

self.update_text("input", "dogs\n")

The same command with regular WebDriver is very messy: (And it doesn't include SeleniumBase smart-waiting.)

self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input").clear()  # Not always needed
self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input").send_keys("dogs")
self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input").submit()

(You can still use self.driver in your code.)

Run tests with pytest or nosetests in any browser:

(Using pytest is recommended. Chrome is the default browser.)

pytest my_first_test.py --browser=chrome

nosetests test_suite.py --browser=firefox

All Python methods that start with test_ will automatically be run when using pytest or nosetests on a Python file, (or on folders containing Python files). You can also be more specific on what to run within a file by using the following: (Note that the syntax is different for pytest vs nosetests.)

pytest [FILE_NAME].py::[CLASS_NAME]::[METHOD_NAME]
nosetests [FILE_NAME].py:[CLASS_NAME].[METHOD_NAME]

No more flaky tests:

SeleniumBase methods automatically wait for page elements to finish loading before interacting with them (up to a timeout limit). This means you no longer need random time.sleep() statements in your scripts.

Automated/manual hybrid mode:

SeleniumBase includes a solution called MasterQA, which speeds up manual testing by having automation perform all the browser actions while the manual tester handles validatation.
