We performed a comparison between HCL AppScan and Selenium HQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."You can easily find particular features and functions through the UI."
"The most valuable feature of HCL AppScan is its integration with the SDLC, particularly during the coding phase."
"The UI was very intuitive."
"We are now deploying less defects to production."
"It highlights, with several grades of severity, the types of vulnerabilities, so we can focus on the most severe security vulnerabilities in the code."
"This is a stable solution."
"It identifies all the URLs and domains on its own and then performs tests and provides the results."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Our platform runs into several thousand screens and a few thousand test cases, something which would typically take months to test manually. As of today, the entire process takes a little over two days to run."
"It supports most of the actions that a user would do on a website."
"The testing solution produces the best web applications."
"We can run multiple projects at the same time and we can design both types of framework, including data-driven or hybrid. We have got a lot of flexibility here."
"You can build your own framework. I think that's the most powerful feature. You can connect with a lot of other tools that use frameworks, or keywords, etc. That helps make it a stronger solution."
"Selenium web driver - Java."
"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"Selenium HQ lets you create your customized functions with whatever language you want to use, like Python, Java, .NET, etc. You can integrate with Selenium and write."
"There is not a central management for static and dynamic."
"We have experienced challenges when trying to integrate this solution with other products. When you compare it with the other SecOps products, the quality of the output is too low. It is not a new-age product. It is very outdated."
"We would like to see a check in the specific vulnerabilities in mobile applications or rooted devices, such as jailbreaking devices."
"One thing which I think can be improved is the CI/CD Integration"
"The solution needs to improve in some areas. The tool needs to add more languages. It also needs to improve its speed."
"There are so many lines of code with so many different categories that I am likely to get lost. "
"The databases for HCL are small and have room for improvement."
"The solution could improve by having a mobile version."
"Selenium HQ can improve the authorization login using OTP, it is not able to be done in this solution."
"To simplify the development process, everyone needs to do a Selenium Framework to acquire the web application functions and features from Selenium methods."
"Selenium HQ doesn't support Windows-based applications, so we need to integrate with the third-party vendor. It would be great if Selenium could include Windows-based automation. You need to integrate it with a third-party tool if you want to upload any files. When we interact with a Windows application, we usually use Tosca."
"The solution can be improved by providing better reporting logs."
"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."
"Improvement in Selenium's ability to identify and wait for the page/element to load would be a big plus. This would ensure that our failed test cases will drop by 60%."
"Selenium HQ doesn't have any self-healing capabilities."
"The solution does not offer up enough information in regards to personality testing."
