"For me, the most valuable feature of Selenium lies in its ability to help us find elements quickly. Apart from that, the driver interface is really useful, too. When we implement the Selenium driver interface, we can easily navigate through all of the pages and sections of an app, including performing things like clicking, putting through SendKeys, scrolling down, tagging, and all the other actions we need to test for in an application."
"The most valuable features are the ability to test and debug."
"Selenium has helped to complete tests in less time, which would not be possible relying on manual testing only."

"My customer previously validated every file and it would take almost 15-20 minutes for a document. They used to randomly select and test only 100 out of the thousands, maybe 85,000, files, to pick up sampling. Each file would take around 20 to 25 minutes, so we were not able to do it manually, but with the help of Selenium, we were able to test all the files in two days. It saves a lot of time."
"The stability of the solution has been good, it is reliable we have not had any bugs."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"Katalon Studio could improve having visual testing, but I think they're launching that feature very soon. We would like to see an increase in the usage of AI."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"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."
"For people that don't know about technology, maybe it's difficult to use."
"For now, I guess Selenium could add some other features like object communications for easy expansion."
"We'd like to see some more image management in future releases."
"When we upgrade the version, some features are missing. I want the product to include some AI capabilities."
"Selenium uses a layer-based approach that is somewhat slower than Eggplant when it comes to executing code."
"The solution is open-source, so everyone relies on the community to assist with troubleshooting and information sharing. If there's a complex issue no one has faced, it may take a while to solve the problem."
"For email-based applications, we can't automate as we would like to, making it necessary to bring in a third-party product to do so."
