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 ability to customize our approach to using Selenium HQ is particularly beneficial."
"Selenium gives me the ability to write my test using the programming environment I am already familiar with."
"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."
"Selenium HQ's most valuable feature is picking up and entering values from web pages."
"The product is quite stable."
"I like its simplicity."
"If you have a web application, I would strongly recommend this, as it has a lot of benefits as described above."
"All the features in Selenium to automate the UI."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"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."
"Due to its high rate in releases sometimes working code cannot be executed after an upgrade due to a new feature or different behaviour."
"I would like for the next release to support parallel testing."
"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."
"You need to have experience in order to do the initial setup."
"Selenium Grid set-up is bit complex."
"It would be better if it accommodated non-techy end-users. I think it's still a product for developers. That's why it's not common for end-users, and especially for RPA activities or tasks. It's hard to automate tasks for end-users. If it will be easier, more user-friendly, and so on, perhaps it can be more interesting for this kind of user."
"An improvement to Selenium HQ would be the inclusion of a facility to work on Shadow DOM."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Selenium HQ is open source and our use of it in our company is provided for free."
"There is no pricing cost. License is Apache License 2.0."
"It is free to use."
"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
"Selenium is open-source."
"Selenium is open-source, so there are no setup costs associated with it."
"It is an open-source product, it is free for anyone to use."
"Selenium HQ is a free solution."
