Sujata Sujata Ghadage - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The plugins, the components, and the method of the library with Selenium is very user defined."
"The solution is very flexible; there are different ways of using it. It's open-source and has a lot of support on offer."
"It is more stable in comparison to other solutions because they have quite some experience in the market."
"Selenium web driver - Java."
"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 ability to present your tests on a wiki page and hooking them up to the scripts/fixtures."
"I like the record and playback features. We also appreciate that it's not just writing on a script that we create. While we were browsing our web application, it automatically records all the clicks and movements of points. We also appreciate the fact that it provides screenshots of everything in the output."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its flexibility, being open source, and it has close to no limits when it comes to integrating with any language, or browser you are using."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"The reporting part can be better."
"It would be very helpful to be able to write scripts in a GUI, rather than depend so heavily on the command line."
"Handling frames and windows needs to be improved."
"I would like to see a library of bomb files with an automated process and integration with Jenkins and Slack."
"There are some synchronization issues"
"It would be very great if Selenium would provide some framework examples so newcomers could get started more quickly."
"Katalon has built a UI on top of Selenium to make it more user-friendly, as well as repository options and the ability to create repositories for objects, among other things. It would be helpful if this type of information could be included in the Selenium tool itself, so people wouldn't have to do filing testing."
"I continuously see failures in threads when it is running in parallel."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
