We performed a comparison between Selenium HQ and Worksoft Certify based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: The main difference between the two solutions is that Worksoft Certify is expensive whereas Selenium HQ is open-source and completely free.
"There is a supportive community around it."
"The most valuable feature of Selenium HQ is the ability to create automatic tests that can replicate human behavior."
"Due to its popularity, you can find pretty much any answer in open discussions from the community."
"The main characteristic that is useful is that the tool is completely free."
"The primary benefit is its cost and the ability to use the cloud."
"The most valuable features of Selenium HQ are it is open source and has multiple languages and browser support. It's very useful."
"The tool is easy to use and log in with respect to other tools. It is open-source. We can customize the product. I also like its security."
"It is compatible with and supports multiple languages, such as Java and Python. It is open source, and it is widely used."
"Provides all the in-built functionalities and is a wonderful tool."
"Automation using Worksoft Certify has saved our testing times by 40% to 50%."
"We were able to use Worksoft to automate all of the actions that we would have to take after an SAP refresh. This way we do the refresh, then that night or right afterwards, we run the Worksoft script and it resets all of our testing users. This sets them up with the right access, the right approvals, and just sets up everything on the back-end so we can do our scripts the next night."
"It helps us to implement automation testing as part of most projects, so the need for manual testing can be reduced. This really accelerates the testing process as a whole. Before, where it could take ten days to test a project, now it takes only one or two days to do the complete testing."
"The turn around time for getting the automation tester familiarized with the tool is very quick, as it doesn't have any coding. It is fairly simple to understand."
"One big advantage of Worksoft Certify is its integration with SAP Solution Manager..."
"The most valuable feature is its time saving. Once development is complete, the short time that it takes to execute a test is invaluable. It saves a number of dollars and man-hours."
"Improvement means for us that we have to be better in quality. Due to automation, you can run every automated test case twice a week. If you do it manually, you do it once per release. This is a quality improvement."
"Whenever an object is changed or something is changed in the UI, then we have to refactor the code."
"Selenium HQ can improve the authorization login using OTP, it is not able to be done in this solution."
"Selenium has been giving us failures sometimes. It is not working one hundred percent of the time when we are creating elements. They need to improve the stability of the solution."
"The solution does not offer up enough information in regards to personality testing."
"Selenium HQ doesn't support Windows-based applications, so we need to integrate with the third-party vendor. It would be great if Selenium could include Windows-based automation. You need to integrate it with a third-party tool if you want to upload any files. When we interact with a Windows application, we usually use Tosca."
"The solution is open-source, so everyone relies on the community to assist with troubleshooting and information sharing. If there's a complex issue no one has faced, it may take a while to solve the problem."
"It would be better to have a simplified way to locate and identify web elements."
"Selenium has room for improvement as it does not support the tests and result-sharing in anything but a manual way."
"For the couple of the issues that we were really scratching our heads over, we were in communication with the technical support several times, but they never got back to us."
"The definitions for the objects need to be automated. They need to be recognized automatically by Worksoft Certify instead of changing them back and forth manually. This is also something that Worksoft is currently working on."
"With the codeless process automation across packaged applications, once in a while, if we get a weird application that's not widely used, it gets a little stickier. First, the software has to learn the fields, so you have to identify all the fields. Once you do that, as long as there isn’t any non-standard code in the application, then it works fine. But there's that one step that you have to do, a step you don't have to do with SAP and Salesforce, for example."
"I would like BPP to have more filtering options during the report creation. This would make our customers happy."
"Technical support's first response to us is usually late."
"We are looking for some enhancements on the Capture 2.0 tool. This would give us the ability to control it directly, like we could with Capture 1.0. Right now, Capture 2.0 doesn't really work for our Business Analysts."
"What could be improved in Worksoft Certify is its integration with other tools, for example, test management tools such as Jira, ALM, or any other test management tools. That integration is missing."
"The technical support has been good, but sometimes there are little delays. A lot of times when we need support, it's an emergency situation."
