# 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.

## What to evaluate with Selenium

- 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 tests in the web app, or download individual YAML tests to run with the optional CLI, on your machine or in an existing CI job.
- Open a run to see each step's screenshots, console errors and the exact steps that ran. A recording is available when no credentials are configured.

## 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 Zerocheck include?

Zerocheck is US$500 per month, with US$500 in credits at sign up: a dedicated instance for your team, with hands-on setup of your first tests. About 1,000 test runs a month are included; more by agreement. It is month to month, and you can cancel at any time. Your team supplies the app, test accounts and expected outcomes.

### 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.
