"It is more stable in comparison to other solutions because they have quite some experience in the market."
"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 programming language agnostic, you can write tests in most currently used languages."
"Selenium's open-source nature is a key advantage. Its extensive support for diverse web technologies."
"The most valuable feature is the Selenium grid, which allows us to run tests in parallel."
"The ability to present your tests on a wiki page and hooking them up to the scripts/fixtures."
"It supports many external plugins, and because it's a Java-based platform, it's language-independent. You can use Java, C#, Python, etc."
"The most valuable feature of Selenium HQ is the ability to configure a lot of automated processes."
"One area where k6 could improve is by introducing a GUI similar to JMeter."
"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."
"It would be better if we could use it without having the technical skills to run the scripting test."
"Selenium HQ can improve by creating an enterprise version where it can provide the infrastructure for running the tests. Currently, we need to run the test in our infrastructure because it's a free tool. If Google can start an enterprise subscription and they can provide us with the infrastructure, such as Google Cloud infrastructure where we can configure it, and we can run the test there, it would be highly beneficial."
"Selenium has room for improvement as it does not support the tests and result-sharing in anything but a manual way."
"Selenium HQ can be complex. The interface requires a QA engineer or an expert to use it."
"The solution does not offer up enough information in regards to personality testing."
