The following are the disadvantages of using Selenium as a testing tool:
Tests web applications only: Selenium supports the testing of only web-based applications. Mobile applications, Captcha, and Barcode readers cannot be tested using Selenium unless integrated with third-party tools like Appium and TestNG.
No built-in reporting and test management facility: Selenium can generate reports only using third-party tools like TestNG or JUnit.

May require the knowledge of programming languages: Some prior programming knowledge is required to use Selenium.
