# Zerocheck vs Selenium

Compare a browser automation ecosystem you assemble in code with a web app for drafting and running your release tests.

## What Selenium does well

- WebDriver provides a standard browser automation interface.
- Selenium Grid supports running browser sessions across machines.

## Where Selenium falls short

- A code-owned framework may fit teams with existing browser infrastructure and specialized requirements.
- Compare the cost of your current fixtures and maintenance with a narrow evaluation on the same user flows.

## How Zerocheck differs

- Start in the web app: describe the user flow and expected outcome, then review the drafted steps and real browser result.
- Save and edit web-managed tests, or download individual YAML tests for the optional CLI, GitHub Actions and MCP.
- Inspect step screenshots, console errors, every attempt and the exact test revision. Recordings are available when no configured credentials are used.

## Side by side

| Feature | Selenium | Zerocheck |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Authoring | Code using WebDriver bindings | Plain-English steps in editable YAML |
| Execution setup | Your local or Grid infrastructure | Hosted web runs; optional local CLI |
| Ownership | Own and extend the framework | Own the test descriptions; use Zerocheck’s service |

## Frequently asked questions

### How should I compare Zerocheck with Selenium?

Use the same real user flow, test data and expected outcome. Inspect one passing run, one intentional product failure and one harmless UI change. Compare setup, review effort and supported scope.

### What does the Zerocheck Pilot include?

Start on the free tier, with no credit card and an onboarding call. The Pilot is US$500 per month, with usage agreed around your suite and testing cadence. Your team supplies the app, test accounts and expected behavior.

### Can I keep my existing test suite?

Yes. Evaluate Zerocheck alongside it for selected browser flows. There is no automatic migration or import of another framework’s test code.
