Selenium is a suite of tools to automate web app testing across many platforms. It currently 

  • runs in many browsers and operating systems
  • can be controlled by many programming languages and testing frameworks

Selenium is an actively developed project with a healthy developer and user base.  Our tools have been downloaded more than 3 million times.  According to popular job board indeed.com, more than 1500 jobs in the united states require Selenium experience, with more around the world.  Selenium is used at large companies like Google, Amazon, Etrade, and start-ups like Digg, StumbleUpon, Playdom.  Ultimately, Selenium helps enable better and more consistent user experience across an increasingly diverse browser ecosystem.

In the Google Summer of Code program, students will learn that testing, and building automated testing tools, can be both fun and an integral part of delivering high quality software.  The collaborative effort with Selenium contributors can provide you with a new toolset to develop and document a set of components used by thousands of people.   You will gain valuable professional experience towards your career development and ultimately help drive higher quality web applications everywhere.  Do note that most of the work will be done off-site, however, if you are paired up with mentors in San Francisco, LA,
Portland, London...  you may have a chance to meet them too.
