According to Business Wire, web testing in 2016 continues to become increasingly popular, especially with the widespread use of web components and shadow DOM in apps, as well as Chrome, Mozilla and Edge blocking APIs. Selenium has gone on to become the poster boy of web testing tools, with a whopping 300 percent increase in job postings over the past three years.
The most popular testing tool to work with Selenium – the Selenium WebDriver – provides a friendly API which is easy to explore and understand, and helps to make tests easier to read and maintain. Selenium WebDriver is a sought after skill in the testing ecosystem with massive traction in the US, UK, the Middle east and Australia, where jobs have skyrocketed and consequently, pay packages are more than attractive.
Some of the popular software testing job titles that Selenium WebDriver experts can look for include:
According to Indeed.com, the median salary for a Selenium WebDriver competency job role in the US is 94,000 USD.

In the UK as well, jobs that require Selenium WebDriver knowledge saw a raise of 24% in just 2 years, with impressive median salaries of around 45,000 Pounds.
The global picture may not be of dramatic growth as seen in individual regions like the US or the Middle east, but there is a a definite and healthy growth ever since Selenium became a respectable name. While there have been temporary slumps, Selenium has picked up and only grown stronger. (indeed.com/payscale.com)
