The tool needs to improve in the areas of security, though it is a versatile product
Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability. I spoke with Inflectra's executive account rep on the need to expand the tool's ability. The problem with Inflectra Rapise is that a lot of companies are still using SAP GUI. Inflectra has no intention of building Rapise in a way that allows it to interact with SAP GUI. Inflectra Rapise has very limited value for the companies I work with because they they still use SAP GUI since their top priority is SAP testing, and they want to get into automation, for which they need a tool that cannot only used to automate processes, but can also do end-to-end testing where you are not only using SAP GUI, but you are using the interface with old legacy systems that are still in use or with today's more modern technologies. In the future, the tool needs to increase its versatility. If I am at a company that uses 23 different technologies, like .NET Visual Basic, Oracle, SQL, or whatever, Inflectra Rapise needs to be made as a product that is an out-of-the-box usable tool for any technology.

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 first time I used Rapise I completed the automation scripts for a full application in a day and I was shocked how easy it was."
"The initial setup was straightforward; it wasn't complex at all, and we found it nice and easy."
"It's incredible but the support and maintenance of Inflectra Rapise's scripts is less than 30% of the effort that was involved in maintaining Selenium, it is very easy and this is the reason that we are switching everything that needs handling from Selenium to Inflectra Rapise, as it is easy to maintain and provides a benefit in cost and efforts with a 90% reduction factor in the maintenance of the scripts."
"We always use the product for end-to-end automation test cases."
"Rapise is a good automation tool that's easy to use and learn, and you can share scripts as a team, which is very helpful."
"It's pretty straightforward to set up."
"The scripting of this tool is easy and user friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its versatility."
"It is very stable."
"Selenium HQ has a lot of capabilities and is compatible with many languages."
"The most valuable feature is the Selenium grid, which allows us to run tests in parallel."
"Selenium HQ lets you create your customized functions with whatever language you want to use, like Python, Java, .NET, etc., and you can also connect to a database using your JVC to read and write the data, so it's scalable and you can make any custom function."
"Language support - since it supports Java and other programming languages it is easy to integrate with other systems."
"Selenium HQ's most valuable feature is picking up and entering values from web pages."
"If you are testing websites, this is a great tool."
"The most valuable feature of Selenium HQ is the ability to create automatic tests that can replicate human behavior."
 

Cons

"What I have noticed about Rapise is that sometimes when you keep on using the same script, it fails many times."
"Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability."
"It would be good if there could be more integration of Inflectra Rapise, since not all customers use the same tool for test management and automation integration."
"The maintenance is very difficult. We've only been using the platform for three months, so I'm not sure if that will continue, but right now it's an observation I've had."
"I faced one problem where it can't validate the colour of images and text. Also, it could not automate the mobile app, and this needs to be included."
"When there are failures in a nightly run of batches of scripts, it can create a blocking situation where all the following scripts will fail due to unexpected results."
"The maintenance is very difficult."
"It would be good if there could be more integration of Inflectra Rapise, since not all customers use the same tool for test management and automation integration."
"​To simplify the development process, everyone needs to do a Selenium Framework to acquire the web application functions and features from Selenium methods."
"I would like to see a better method handling. I mean methods/properties like Displayed, which should return false when there is no such element on the page instead NoSuchElementException, which has to be handled in my code – it should be provided with Selenium."
"There is a need for an auto-healing feature that can address script failures due to changes in the front end."
"Both of those are easier solutions than Selenium but also quite expensive."
"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 locating of web elements is a complex process where you require the WebDriver application and create a locator by using By Class."
"It would be very helpful to be able to write scripts in a GUI, rather than depend so heavily on the command line."
"It takes such a long time to use this solution that it may be worth looking into other free solutions such as TestProject or Katalon Studio, or paid solutions to replace it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where ten means very good pricing."
"We pay no more than $50 annually for support of each one of the licenses."
"It's open-source, so there's no need to pay for a license."
"It is free to use."
"There is no pricing cost. License is Apache License 2.0."
"Selenium HQ is a free, open-source solution."
"This is an open-source product so there is no cost other than manpower."
"Selenium HQ is a free solution."
"Selenium is open-source."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
