LambdaTest Collaborates With Selenium to Drive Innovation in Test Automation

We’re over the moon to share some big news: LambdaTest is now an official Development Partner of the Selenium Project.

In many ways, it’s a story of building what once built us – Selenium’s open-source framework fueled LambdaTest’s inception and success, and now LambdaTest is giving back by contributing to the Selenium project.

From Sponsor to Partner: A Milestone Achieved

Our relationship with Selenium has evolved naturally over the years. Selenium has been foundational to our growth from day one – with its robust support and integration, it has formed the core of LambdaTest’s widespread adoption by users.

As we scaled, we became active sponsors of the project, supporting Selenium conferences, community events, and nurturing the testing community with resources. Now, we’re taking the next step by dedicating engineering resources to contribute directly to Selenium’s core codebase.

“Selenium has been integral to LambdaTest’s journey from day one. It’s like we’re building what once built us – giving back to the foundation that supported our growth. We’re honored and incredibly excited to work even more closely with Selenium and make a lasting positive impact for testers worldwide. Together, we will make test automation more powerful and accessible for everyone.”

– Asad Khan, CEO and Co-Founder of LambdaTest

Open Source in Our DNA

Open source is the engine that drives us every day here at LambdaTest. From our earliest days, we’ve seen how community‑led projects spark innovation and solve real‑world challenges faster than anything built behind closed doors. That conviction inspired us to create our Open Source Program Office (OSPO)—a dedicated team whose sole mission is to nurture and uplift the testing tools that matter most.

Through the LambdaTest Open Source program, we provide LambdaTest’s testing infrastructure to community projects, so maintainers can run comprehensive test suites without worrying about servers or setup.

We assign seasoned engineers to mentor contributors, review code, and share best practices to support contributors at every step. And we back it all with sponsorship support, helping open‑source teams cover hosting costs, event expenses, or even their own development time.

The LambdaTest Grants for Open Source program takes this one step further. It’s our way of celebrating the unsung heroes, the maintainers who keep critical libraries alive and the contributors who squash bugs that affect thousands.

Every grant shines a spotlight on their work and provides financial backing to fuel their next breakthrough.

With this Selenium Development partnership, we’re doubling down on the commitment we’ve made to Open Source.

Expect to see us contributing to Selenium’s core codebase, working side-by-side with maintainers, enhancing documentation, and putting LambdaTest’s full support behind the community.

What Does This Partnership Mean to Us?

Being officially added as a Selenium Development Partner is a milestone for us and a shared commitment to building a stronger Selenium and a more resilient testing ecosystem for everyone.

Here’s what this partnership means for each part of our community:

• For the community: More hands on deck! Our engineers will work directly with Selenium maintainers to fix issues, develop new features, architect new capabilities, and streamline releases. We are helping carry out the load of maintaining this vital project.

The result? A faster-evolving, more robust Selenium for all users, ensuring a rock‑solid automation framework for everyone.

• For LambdaTest users: Expect tighter integration and early access to improvements. Since Selenium is at the heart of our platform, our contribution allows us to incorporate updates and new capabilities into LambdaTest much faster than ever.

You’ll see benefits from quicker support for the latest Selenium features, smoother compatibility, and more reliable LambdaTest Selenium Grid, making your test automation on LambdaTest even better.

This partnership sets an example of how commercial platforms and open-source projects can join forces to uplift the entire tech community.

In short, as Selenium evolves, testers, developers, and vendors all benefit from it. By channeling our engineering resources back into the project, we’re co‑investing in the future of test automation together.

“I am thrilled about this official partnership. It marks a new chapter in test automation innovation. This isn’t just a one-time collaboration but a long-term commitment to open-source excellence. By joining forces, we’re set to build robust, scalable solutions that empower developers and enhance quality assurance across the board. I’ve seen firsthand how much we can achieve when the community and companies grow together. With LambdaTest and Selenium in tandem, our collective future looks brighter than ever.”

Coming Full Circle: Building the Future Together

In many ways, this partnership brings our story full circle.

LambdaTest has been built on the strengths of Selenium and other open-source technologies, and now, two decades into Selenium, we are their official development partner to help shape the future of test automation.

Ultimately, this is about building together—uniting industry knowledge, user insights, and a passion for open collaboration. We can’t wait to see what the future holds, and we’re grateful you’re with us on this exciting path. Now it’s time to build the future together. 🚀

Happy Testing!
