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 you have the right people on hand, it works very, very well."
"The framework for testing is robust with Selenium, the integration with TestNG and Gherkin with Cucumber is great, and there is a supportive community around it."
"The most valuable features of Selenium HQ are it is open source and has multiple languages and browser support. It's very useful."
"It has helped to complete tests in less time, which would not be possible relying on manual testing only."
"You can build your own framework; I think that's the most powerful feature, and you can connect with a lot of other tools that use frameworks or keywords, which helps make it a stronger solution."
"It's easy for new people to get trained on this solution."
"I like its simplicity."
"If you don’t have a budget, go with Selenium because it has a huge community and the versions are constantly updated."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"It would be better if we could use it without having the technical skills to run the scripting test."
"I would like to see automatic logs generated."
"There is no particular documentation about it that can help me in a technical way."
