A testing platform with a good API for apps, but pricing is complicated
I like that the AI Testbot is a near-zero code application for testing. For this use case, the function is good. The services are robust. Game testing and the API for apps are also good. From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied.

Offers versatility in testing automation while improvements can elevate its capabilities
I currently use Jenkins and Maven for framework development. The flow involves creating the project with Maven, and once test case execution is completed locally, we push the jobs to Jenkins. It automatically triggers the executions in Jenkins so everyone in the team can see the execution report and status. I would rate the solution at 60% out of 100. Previously, troubleshooting was difficult. When test cases fail for various reasons, logs cannot explain everything, but logging is very important to get the failure results. For logging, Amazon Q will suggest where the log code needs to be included. In Jenkins, when the code is executed and results are viewed, we can easily identify where the error occurred and troubleshoot efficiently, reducing time by two to three hours. I can recommend many packages with Selenium HQ. Wait conditions and numerous features are available to use. I recommend most of them to individuals. My overall rating for Selenium HQ is 7 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The feature that I like the most is that you can use different frameworks, whether it's APM or something else, and you don't need to worry about the framework."
"The overall product is awesome for device fragmentation, but not for automation."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied."
"Ability to use different frameworks."
"If you don’t have a budget, go with Selenium because it has a huge community and the versions are constantly updated."
"The product is quite stable."
"The tool supports most of the features you want to automate and the stability of the executions is good too."
"We designed the Omani-channel automation framework, and achieved the maximum testing coverage includes localization (approximately 19), environment (web and mobile [iOS and Android]), and browser."
"It's open source, free, stable, and easy to use."
"Selenium has helped to complete tests in less time, which would not be possible relying on manual testing only."
"The main characteristic that is useful is that the tool is completely free."
"They are working on a new product which gives you an opportunity to test your product with different browsers at the same time."
 

Cons

"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."
"Some stages of its automation is not working correctly and I need to make changes in the code created by Testdroid."
"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"I'm giving it an eight because there are a lot of things Selenium is not supporting."
"For now, I guess Selenium could add some other features like object communications for easy expansion."
"We'd like to see some more image management in future releases."
"Selenium only supports web based applications and it is not suitable for testing small sized products which can be easily tested manually."
"I have found that at times the tool does not catch the class features of website content correctly. The product's AWS configuration is also hard."
"One drawback to Selenium is that there is nothing like an object repository, such as that found in QTP, especially considering continuous integration practices that have become common nowadays."
"One limitation of Selenium is that it is purely focused on web application testing."
"Currently, we are using Excel as our data source. I don't know if we have that capability to provide different data sources such as SQL Server, CSV, or maybe some other databases, so that kind of capability would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"We are using Selenium open-source, so there is no need to purchase anything."

"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
