Sopa ensures each pull request matches what product requested by validating code against the ticket before merge. Selenium is an open-source framework for automating browsers, widely used for functional and regression testing. Many teams use both: Sopa for requirement alignment, Selenium for custom automated test execution.
| Feature | Sopa | Selenium |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Validate PR code against product ticket requirements before merge. | Automate browsers for functional, regression, and cross-browser testing. |
| When you use it | During PR review—right before merging. | In CI/CD pipelines and during development for running automated test scripts. |
| What it analyzes | PR diff + product ticket context (e.g., Jira) to check requirement alignment. | Browser interactions, DOM state, API calls, and visual rendering via test scripts. |
| Output | Review comments and a pass/fail verdict based on acceptance criteria. | Test execution results, logs, screenshots, and error reports. |
| Main benefit | Prevents requirement-related bugs from reaching QA/production. | Highly flexible automation for multiple browsers, languages, and environments. |
| Integrations | GitHub + Jira (Linear, Asana, Trello coming soon). | Integrates with any major CI/CD tool, test runners, and cloud grid providers (e.g., Sauce Labs, BrowserStack). |
| Best for | CTOs, CPOs, PMs, Tech Leads needing product–engineering alignment at PR time. | QA engineers and developers building custom, scalable cross-browser test automation. |
Sopa ensures the code you merge is exactly what product asked for. Selenium powers highly flexible, cross-browser automated testing. Use both: Sopa for alignment, Selenium for execution at scale.
