Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."The standout feature of k6 is its strong focus on API performance testing."
"The solution is very easy to use. Once you learn how to do things, it becomes very intuitive and simple."
"The most valuable feature of Selenium HQ is the ability to create automatic tests that can replicate human behavior."
"In general, I would say that the API set is the most valuable feature."
"Selenium HQ's most valuable feature is picking up and entering values from web pages."
"The primary benefit is its cost and the ability to use the cloud."
"Selenium WebDriver and Selenium IDE are useful."
"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 are many useful features in Selenium that I like, and of the new features I particularly enjoy the Selenium Grid. With this, we can run many test cases in one go, and in one suite we can extract multiple results."
"One area where k6 could improve is by introducing a GUI similar to JMeter."
"Selenium HQ can improve by creating an enterprise version where it can provide the infrastructure for running the tests. Currently, we need to run the test in our infrastructure because it's a free tool. If Google can start an enterprise subscription and they can provide us with the infrastructure, such as Google Cloud infrastructure where we can configure it, and we can run the test there, it would be highly beneficial."
"The installation could be simplified, it is a bit difficult to install."
"It does require a programming skill set. I would like the product not to require a heavy programming skill set and be more user-friendly for someone without a programming background."
"There are some tiny issues with SeleniumHQ. For example, with respect to the scraping tests. Sometimes, a website will have some hidden items or blockages that inhibit us from extracting data directly. It would be beneficial if Selenium could extract that information."
"It takes such a long time to use this solution that it may be worth looking into other free solutions such as TestProject or Katalon Studio, or paid solutions to replace it."
"The reporting part can be better."
"The solution's UI path needs to be modernized."
"If the test scenarios are not subdivided correctly, it is very likely that maintenance will become very expensive and re-use is unlikely."
