Selebrow is an open-source tool published by SelebrowProject that simplifies the process of running UI tests with WebDriver-based testing frameworks. Designed to work with popular solutions such as Selenium, Selenide, WebdriverIO (wdio), and Playwright, the software provides a streamlined environment for executing automated browser tests without the complexity typically associated with configuring and managing browser infrastructure. One of Selebrow's primary purposes is to serve as a drop-in replacement for the discontinued Selenoid project, enabling teams that previously relied on Selenoid to migrate their existing testing workflows with minimal friction. Like its predecessor, Selebrow allows browsers to run inside Docker containers or Kubernetes pods, giving development and QA teams the flexibility to choose the deployment model that best fits their infrastructure and operational requirements. A key capability of the tool is its support for running tests in multiple browsers concurrently, using prebuilt browser images. This parallel execution model helps reduce overall test run times while ensuring consistent and reliable results, whether tests are executed on a local development machine or as part of a continuous integration pipeline. The use of prebuilt images also removes the need for manual browser installation and version management, further reducing maintenance overhead. Selebrow falls into the category of test automation infrastructure and browser orchestration tooling, making it relevant for software teams practicing automated UI testing, end-to-end testing, and cross-browser compatibility verification. Typical use cases include running regression test suites in CI environments, validating web application behavior across different browsers, and scaling test execution through containerized or Kubernetes-based deployments. The current version of Selebrow is 1.6.1, and a total of five versions of the software are available, reflecting an ongoing development history. As an open-source project, Selebrow is freely available for teams seeking a modern, actively maintained solution for managing WebDriver-based browser testing environments.
