DalekJS Vs Selenium which tool is better to automate test workflows for an enterprise web solution?

Question

I am working in a team responsible for development and maintenance of an enterprise web solution project where the front end customer portal is developed with PHP on Yii framework and backend web application for back office operations is developed with Python on OpenERP.

We are trying to automate the test workflows using only open source test automation tools are looking at options like Selenium,DalekJS.

My question is, keeping my project in mind which tool would be ideal to easily automate test workflows with a great test coverage and easy maintainability. We might have regular enhancements and fixes for both customer portal and back office web application. Which tool would be better keeping my project in mind, is it Selenium or DalekJS?

Any inputs/feedback or past experience would be quite helpful.

Hi Shashi Vardhan Andem,

unfortunatly it seems DalekJS is dead, unmaintained dependencies, last commit 2 years ago. We recently switched from dalekjs to http://webdriver.io/

So to answere your question. Definitly Selenium because it's gonna be still developed.

Cheers,
