How to Use Selenium Software with Kualitee: A Step-by-Step Guide

In today’s fast-paced development environment, automation is the key to maintaining software quality without compromising on speed. Among the many automation tools out there, Selenium software stands tall as one of the most popular and versatile open-source frameworks for browser-based automation. But to truly unlock its full potential, pairing Selenium with a robust test management tool like Kualitee can streamline your testing lifecycle and help manage automation in a more structured way.

In this blog, we’ll explore what Selenium is, how it integrates with Kualitee, and provide a step-by-step guide to set up and run automated tests with this powerful combination.

What is Selenium Software?

Selenium is an open-source suite of tools designed for automating web browsers. It allows testers and developers to write scripts in languages like Java, Python, C#, Ruby, and more. Whether you’re performing functional, regression, or load testing, Selenium can simulate real user interactions in browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

Selenium offers:

• Browser automation
  
  

• Cross-platform compatibility
  
  

• Multi-language support
  
  

• Integration with CI/CD pipelines and test management platforms
  
  

However, as powerful as Selenium is, managing test cases, reports, bugs, and collaboration becomes difficult without a structured management system. That’s where Kualitee comes in.

Why Integrate Selenium Software with Kualitee?

Kualitee is a complete test management solution that helps QA teams organize manual and automated test cases, manage test data, track defects, and generate insightful reports. With its Selenium integration, Kualitee allows you to execute automated tests directly from the platform and centralize all testing activities in one place.

Benefits of the Selenium-Kualitee Integration:

• View Selenium test results in Kualitee’s dashboard
  
  

• Map Selenium test scripts to test cases
  
  

• Track bugs and defects automatically
  
  

• Centralized reporting for manual and automated tests
  
  

• CI/CD support with Jenkins and Git
  
  

Step-by-Step Guide to Integrating Selenium Software with Kualitee

Step 1: Set Up Your Kualitee Account

If you’re new to Kualitee:

1. Visit https://www.kualitee.com
   
   

2. Sign up for a free trial or log in to your account.
   
   

3. Create a new project and configure your test environment.
   
   

Step 2: Install the Kualitee API Utility

To allow communication between Selenium and Kualitee:

1. Visit the Selenium Integration page.
   
   

2. Download the Kualitee API Utility from the integration resources.
   
   

3. Extract and install it in your local system or CI/CD environment.
   
   

4. Configure the utility by setting up your Kualitee Project API key, which can be generated under Project Settings > APIs.
   
   

Step 3: Prepare Your Selenium Scripts

If you already have automated test scripts using Selenium:

1. Make sure they are written in a supported language (Java, Python, C#, etc.).
   
   

2. Ensure your tests generate output in JUnit, TestNG, or JSON formats—formats supported by Kualitee for report parsing.
   
   

3. Save the output files in a known directory.
   
   

Step 4: Map Test Cases in Kualitee

Before running the automated scripts:

1. Go to the Kualitee dashboard.
   
   

2. Navigate to Test Management > Test Cases.
   
   

3. Create or import the test cases that match the ones in your Selenium suite.
   
   

4. Assign each case to relevant users, test cycles, or requirements.
   
   

Step 5: Run the Test and Push Results

To link Selenium test execution with Kualitee:

1. Execute your Selenium scripts using your preferred IDE or CI tool.
   
   

2.  After execution, use the Kualitee API Utility to send the test results.

3. Example command:
   
   css
   CopyEdit
   java -jar Kualitee-API-Utility.jar -f results.xml -p PROJECT_ID -k API_KEY

4. Once submitted, results will appear in your Kualitee project dashboard under Test Execution and Reports.
   
   

Step 6: Review Reports and Raise Bugs

1. After syncing, test results are available in real-time.
   
   

2. For any failed tests, Kualitee allows you to raise bugs directly from the test report view.
   
   

3. Assign bugs to developers, add severity and priority, and link them with test cases for traceability.
   
   

Step 7: Set Up CI/CD Integration (Optional)

If you're using Jenkins, Bamboo, GitLab CI/CD, or similar tools:

1. Trigger Selenium tests as part of your build pipeline.
   
   

2. Add a post-build action to run the Kualitee API Utility script.
   
   

3. Automatically upload results to Kualitee after every build.
   
   

This helps you automate regression testing and ensure every new code commit gets tested.

 Final Thoughts

Using Selenium software for automation is a smart move. But when you integrate it with Kualitee, you elevate your QA process to a new level of productivity and clarity. Kualitee’s powerful dashboard, traceability, and reporting features fill the gap that Selenium alone cannot address.

Whether you're managing a team or a solo QA engineer, this integration ensures your automated tests are not just run—but also tracked, reported, and acted upon.
