Selenium HQ Reviews

I use Selenium HQ to create automated scripts for automated applications.

Since Selenium HQ has multiple plug-ins, we can use it with multiple tools and multiple languages.

I rate Selenium HQ a nine out of ten for stability.

I rate Selenium HQ a nine out of ten for scalability.

The level of ease to set up Selenium HQ is medium. You need to have experience in order to do the initial setup.

Selenium HQ is a free, open-source solution.

Selenium HQ is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

Overall, I rate Selenium HQ a nine out of ten.

We use Selenium HQ for the automation of functional test cases.

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.  

When we upgrade the version, some features are missing. I want the product to include some AI capabilities. 

I have been using the product for 11 years. 

Selenium HQ is very stable. 

The solution is scalable, and we have around 9,000 users for the product. 

The tool's support is good, and they resolve issues nicely. 

Positive

I have been using the open-source version. 

You need to be aware of Selenium HQ's architecture. I rate it a ten out of ten. 

We use the solution to perform tests and robotic process automation.

The solution helps us improve and maintain a specific set of work quality. Also, it saves a lot of time for us.

The solution's core functionality is excellent.

They should add more functionality to the solution. Also, they should provide technical support services.

We have been using the solution for five years.

I rate the solution's stability a ten.

It is a scalable solution. I rate its scalability a ten. It is easy to deploy on any device.

I used Micro Focus UFT One earlier.

The solution's initial setup takes time. I rate the process as one. We require a specialist to download and install it manually. Later, we need to create a framework and set it for an automation process. The entire process is quite complicated for new users.

The solution is an open-source tool.

I recommend the solution to others. Its learning curve is very high for Java and comparatively less for Python. Apart from this, it is highly stable. A lot of documentation is available for it in case of any queries. I rate the solution a nine.

the primary use cases of this solution are UI regression testing and API automation testing.

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.

The solution can be improved by providing better reporting logs.

I have been using the solution for four years.

This solution is the most stable product I have used when it comes to web automation.

This solution has no scalability limits.

The initial setup is easy, like a walk in the park for any user.

I implemented the solution in-house.

The solution is open source.

Before choosing the solution I evaluated Cypress and Postman. 

I give this solution nine out of ten.

When it comes to UI testing this solution is perfect but for API automation it lags behind compared to Postman.

Around 70 percent of our engineers use this solution on a daily basis.

Since the solution is open source you can create a user account on GitHub and receive free community-based technical support when it is required.

The solution is for front-end testing. It is mainly a testing tool.

There is nothing I cannot do with Selenium. It's very good in terms of features.

The recent changes they've added have been positive. 

The back-end integration and backend web driver supports are great. We integrate with Jira Confluence, Bitbucket, and Jenkins. There is no issue at all.

It has great Dev tools.

The Chrome debugging protocol has been helpful.

We found the initial setup to be straightforward. 

The solution is stable.

It's quite scalable. 

This is an open-source solution that is free to use. 

It supports multiple languages. Many of my friends are working with Selenium with Python language. I am working in Java. People are working in Javascript also. Some people work in this Ruby, C#, et cetera. 

In my previous company, I was using Selenium in my MacBook Air. They could handle iOS with no problem or Windows. It supports different operating systems and multiple browsers. 

It's really not lacking in features at this time. 

We'd like to have more support for Windows applications. 

There's no in-built reporting available. They should work on their reporting functionality. 

I've used the solution for five and a half years. 

It's a pretty stable product. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It is scalable. I have made many changes, and it is always scalable. It is adaptive, actually. Whatever I do on it, I can adjust. It is scalable.

We have maybe ten people using the solution right now.

We use it daily. 

Whenever we Google issues, we find it easy to find answers. 

We've found support to be good.

I've also used Appium in the past.

The solution offers a very easy initial setup. It's not overly complicated or difficult. Compared to Appium, for example, it's much easier. 

I'd rate the ease of implementation five out of five. 

The product is free to use and open-source. 

The framework and the language should be defined early if a new user plans to take this solution on long-term. It helps to have that figured out so you can implement it correctly. A few years back, I started with Java, however, given the choice, I would have preferred Python.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. 

I'm currently working on automation testing using Selenium and Cucumber. 

I am using it with Java, not with as a standalone implementation. It's Selenium with Cucumber and with TestNG.

It's a dependency that I am using from SeleniumHQ. It's a couple of components.

We primarily use it for automation testing. 

The standard features are good, and I use them a lot. The framework for testing is robust with Selenium.

The integration with TestNG and Gherkin with Cucumber is great. Gherkin is a language for using for testing.

The solution is stable.

You can scale the product.

There is a supportive community around it. 

It would be awesome if there was a standalone implementation of Selenium for non-developer users. For example, for business users. If a business wants to test something and doesn't have the knowledge of coding and programming, they should still be able to.

They should offer a single setup. By that, I mean software that you don't need to set up component by component. They should make up a setup file that puts all software together in the place that it should be and it works.

I've been using the solution for six months. 

Selenium is a mature and stable software. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

Selenium is not so scalable. It's not like other software. There are a couple of dependencies where you can make it grow or shrink depending on your needs. In general, it's okay.

I haven't used support a lot. I have researched a couple of posts in the community. I've done no more than that.

The initial setup was not quite so complex and also not simple. I tried it in Eclipse, and it didn't work quite well, and then I tried it in IntelliJ. I need to look further into it if either can be used with Selenium. I didn't use it with Eclipse. I used it with IntelliJ. With IntelliJ, the implementation was pretty straightforward, pretty simple. However, with Eclipse, it's not.

We are customers. 

I'd advise users to take advantage of community posts. If the person finds any trouble, Google it. Probably someone already has found the same issue and also has found the solution or the workaround for it.

In general, I have no complaints about this product. I would rate it nine out of ten.

We are using a framework for Selenium HQ, which is behavior-driven. We have some features, such as login features. We write in normal English and the steps are converted into programming. We have one more feature in step definition, which connects both the feature file and step definition. In step definition, we write the program.

The most valuable features of Selenium HQ are it is open source and has multiple languages and browser support. It's very useful.

Selenium HQ can improve the authorization login using OTP, it is not able to be done in this solution.

I have been using Selenium HQ for approximately one year.

Selenium HQ is stable.

There are multiple people using Selenium HQ in my organization.

I have not used the support from Selenium HQ.

We have used other solutions previously but we chose Selenium HQ because it supports multiple browsers. If you want to check on multiple browsers using the same script, we don't have to change anything.

Selenium HQ was not difficult to set up. We can use management tools allowing us the ability to directly add dependency without having to install Selenium HQ.

Selenium HQ is a free solution.

I would recommend this solution to others if they have short projects or short-term goals, where you do not have to automate. If we have only one month for testing, we should not automate it first. If we want to automate web applications, Selenium HQ is the best tool because it supports multiple languages, browsers, and operating systems, and it's open-source.

There are multiple features the solution has that I haven't worked on.

I rate Selenium HQ a six out of ten.

I'm using Selenium for low-budget projects, small projects, and mostly medium projects. I don't use it for anything on a large scale because it has some limitations. I'm also restricted by the level of knowledge and technicality of the people I can find on the market.

The solution can be deployed on-premise or on a private cloud. We mostly do on-premise installations. We always use the latest version.

It's available open-source and free. To install it, I just have to download it. It also doesn't require too many hardware resources compared to Micro Focus. It's much lower in costs. I can do isolated projects or limited term projects. In projects where I have one shop testing, for example, government institutions or different kinds of projects where they test only once and then perhaps they continue or not, then Selenium is a good choice.

In projects where I don't have any budget and I need automation quickly, I will go to Selenium. Being free is an advantage, and it's almost at the level of professional end-license tools. It's like buying a very expensive car, like a Porsche, compared to an ordinary car. They both move forward, and you get to your destination.

I'm based in Romania, and we have a personal crisis. We do not have enough resources or enough people to employ and hire. So, I'm hiring whoever I find, and they don't always have enough technical knowledge to operate Selenium.

I've been using Selenium for about four years. 

I'm a partner and a reseller. I'm also a training provider for Selenium. We have a course which is internationally accredited and we deliver it regularly on Selenium.

It's extremely stable.

It's difficult to scale with Selenium. I would say, yes, but with a little bit of doubt, because I have to install many other products on top of it and that requires technical knowledge and time.

It is less scalable than Micro Focus. Micro Focus comes like an already made package to be scaled from a small company to an enterprise. For Selenium, I have to work on it and develop some additional things, configurations, integrations, etc.

It's an open-source tool, so there is no technical support. But there is a lot of documentation on the internet. If you study on your own, you can learn Selenium from top to bottom.

I have also worked with Micro Focus.

Unfortunately, I find it difficult. I am a nontechnical person and each time I set up Selenium, I need to read a little bit of documentation. There are too many integrations with different tools.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

My advice for those who want to start using this solution is to analyze the project very well and choose the right tool for the project. For small projects, choose Selenium. It's the best option.
