Selenium - Year In Development (2025)
"the reports of our death are greatly exaggerated"
Happy New Year everyone!
I have been using Selenium for browser automation since 2006. I made my first code contribution to the project in 2011 and became a maintainer in 2016. I took a break for quite a while, but stepped back into working on Selenium development with a vengance in 2025 (I had 94 of my pull requests were merged this year).
The Selenium committers had active year in development: 15 releases , adding new code and features, fixing bugs, improving testing and CI infrastructure, and generally making everything better for all of our users. has been great participating in an active community-driven open source project. Hopefully, we crush 2026 by shipping Selenium 5 with more BiDi features!
Here are some stats of our development work for the year:
