WIllWorley - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Automation in testing processes sees improvement with multi-browser support and easier website interactions
Selenium HQ could improve by including a robust reporting framework, eliminating the need for external frameworks. The tool could simplify object identification, enabling users to generate XPaths without requiring detailed DOM understanding. Additionally, an automatic update mechanism for Selenium HQ would be beneficial, eliminating the need for manual downloads and updates of browser drivers when new versions are released.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We always use the product for end-to-end automation test cases."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its versatility."
"It's pretty straightforward to set up."
"It is very stable."
"Has a good Workday application that enables us to handle some of the custom controls."
"Its biggest advantage is that it is very customizable."
"I like that it is a robust and free open source. There is a lot of community support available, and there are a lot of developers using them. There's good community support."
"The grids, as well as the selectors, are the most valuable features."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment took about seven months."
"The solution is very flexible; there are different ways of using it. It's open-source and has a lot of support on offer."
"The stability and performance are good."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I would like to see XPath made more reliable so that it can be used in all browsers."
"The solution does not offer up enough information in regards to personality testing."
"We do not have enough resources or enough people to employ and hire. So, I'm hiring whoever I find, and they don't always have enough technical knowledge to operate Selenium."
"We'd like to see some more image management in future releases."
"Selenium is good when the team is really technical because Selenium does less built-in methods. If it came with more built-in and pre-built methods it would be even easier for less technical people to work with it. That's where I think the improvement can be."
"Selenium Grid set-up is bit complex."
"We can only use Selenium HQ for desktop applications which would be helpful. We are only able to do online based applications."
"Technical support isn't very good. Sometimes their recommendations were not very clear."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay no more than $50 annually for support of each one of the licenses."
"Selenium is free software so we do not pay licensing costs."
"Selenium is a free tool."
"I have been using the open-source version."
"Selenium HQ costs around $1000 per month, which is a bit high based on what they're offering."

"It is an open-source product, it is free for anyone to use."
"It's an open-source tool that you can work with at any time without any cost."
