Automation revolutionizes testing efficiency and cost savings while ensuring smooth deployment
The challenges I faced while integrating Selenium HQ into my existing systems relate to historical data, which requires going back six years. I have to traverse if there were any challenges because I am sure if there were any, they must have been documented in our ALM documents. The multi-browser support of Selenium HQ impacts my testing process primarily since it is being used in Edge and Chrome browsers. It all depends on our customers. I haven't heard of any challenges with other browsers such as Opera or Mozilla Firefox, as these two browsers are what we primarily use. When we were doing these tests manually, it took several hours of effort, and those hours, when counted on the basis of person days, used to be maybe six or seven months of effort, which we can now do every day by running the pipeline. This has definitely saved a lot of money for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If working on multiple browsers and on multiple platforms is the goal, then Selenium is definitely the right tool because it works on Windows as well as on Linux and also supports multiple browsers."
"The data collection and sorting is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The primary benefit is its cost and the ability to use the cloud."
"It's not too complicated to implement."
"It is more stable in comparison to other solutions because they have quite some experience in the market."
"It has helped to complete tests in less time, which would not be possible relying on manual testing only."
"I would recommend anyone thinking of implementing Selenium HQ to go for it - it fits into every format, depending on your time and skillset."
"Nowadays we are using the solution to allow old solutions to run through it, so we don't need to go check functionalities created previously, as we just run the automation in one click, which saves a lot of time and allows us to focus on other things."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"An improvement to Selenium HQ would be the inclusion of a facility to work on Shadow DOM."
"Selenium HQ can be complex. The interface requires a QA engineer or an expert to use it."
"One drawback to Selenium is that there is nothing like an object repository, such as that found in QTP, especially considering continuous integration practices that have become common nowadays."
"As it’s a free product there is no customer support but there is a community that takes in consideration all found bugs for further improvement."
"It needs more support for mobile devices and also on testing web services."
"Selenium HQ could improve by including a robust reporting framework, eliminating the need for external frameworks."
"Selenium uses a layer-based approach that is somewhat slower than Eggplant when it comes to executing code."
"We use X path for our selectors, and sometimes, it is difficult to create locators for elements. It is very time-consuming because they're embedded deeply."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source product, it is free for anyone to use."
"Selenium HQ is a free solution."
"It is all free."
"Selenium HQ is open source and our use of it in our company is provided for free."
"Selenium HQ is a free, open-source solution."
"It's open-source, so it's free."
