Selenium BOM

Selenium BOM (Bill of Materials) is a Maven POM artifact that provides centralized dependency management for the Selenium ecosystem. It enables consistent versioning across all Selenium artifacts in multi-module projects, eliminating version conflicts and simplifying dependency management for browser automation projects.

Package Information

Package Name: selenium-bom
Package Type: maven
Group ID: org.seleniumhq.selenium
Artifact ID: selenium-bom
Language: Java
Installation: Add to Maven dependencyManagement section (see usage below)

Core Usage

Import the BOM in your Maven project's dependencyManagement section:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-bom</artifactId>
            <version>4.33.0</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Basic Usage

After importing the BOM, declare Selenium dependencies without version numbers:

<dependencies>
    <!-- WebDriver API and Remote Driver -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    
    <!-- Browser-specific drivers -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-chrome-driver</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-firefox-driver</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    
    <!-- Support utilities -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-support</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Architecture

The Selenium BOM manages dependencies for the complete Selenium ecosystem:

Core API: Base WebDriver interfaces and implementations
Browser Drivers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Internet Explorer drivers
Grid Components: Distributed testing infrastructure with session management
Support Libraries: Page Object Model utilities, Select helpers, and more
DevTools Support: Chrome DevTools Protocol integrations

This centralized approach ensures that all Selenium components work together without version conflicts.

Capabilities

Dependency Management

The BOM provides version coordination for all Selenium artifacts, ensuring compatibility across the ecosystem.

<!-- Main Selenium BOM - manages all Selenium artifacts -->
