"It helps in identifying defects earlier. With manual testing, that 15-day timeline meant there were times when we would find defects on the 11th or 12th day of the cycle, but with automation we are able to run the complete suite within a day and we are able to find the failures. It helps us to provide early feedback."
"The most valuable features of Selenium HQ are the automation of all UI tests, its open-source, reliability, and is supported by Google."

"Its biggest advantage is that it is very customizable."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"The price is very high. They should work to lower the costs for their clients."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"Coding skills are required to use Selenium, so it could be made more user-friendly for non-programmers."
"An improvement to Selenium HQ would be the inclusion of a facility to work on Shadow DOM."
"It does require a programming skill set. I would like the product not to require a heavy programming skill set and be more user-friendly for someone without a programming background."
"Whenever an object is changed or something is changed in the UI, then we have to refactor the code."
"I would like to see a library of bomb files with an automated process and integration with Jenkins and Slack."
"For people that don't know about technology, maybe it's difficult to use."
"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 installation could be simplified, it is a bit difficult to install."
