Octopus Deploy vs Selenium: What are the differences?
What is Octopus Deploy? Automated deployment for .NET. Octopus works with your build server to enable reliable, secure, automated releases of ASP.NET applications and Windows Services into test, staging and production environments, whether they are in the cloud or on-premises.
What is Selenium? Web Browser Automation. Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
Octopus Deploy can be classified as a tool in the "Deployment as a Service" category, while Selenium is grouped under "Browser Testing".
"Powerful" is the primary reason why developers consider Octopus Deploy over the competitors, whereas "Automates browsers" was stated as the key factor in picking Selenium.
Selenium is an open source tool with 14.9K GitHub stars and 4.97K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Selenium's open source repository on GitHub.
According to the StackShare community, Selenium has a broader approval, being mentioned in 776 company stacks & 440 developers stacks; compared to Octopus Deploy, which is listed in 47 company stacks and 15 developer stacks.
