"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 supports multiple processes, which is great."
"Since Selenium HQ has multiple plug-ins, we can use it with multiple tools and multiple languages."
"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."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."
"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."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"Could have additional readability and abstraction."
"Technical support isn't very good. Sometimes their recommendations were not very clear."
"I have found that at times the tool does not catch the class features of website content correctly. The product's AWS configuration is also hard."
"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."
"It would be awesome if there was a standalone implementation of Selenium for non-developer users."
"Selenium HQ could have better interaction with SAP products."
"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 has room for improvement as it does not support the tests and result-sharing in anything but a manual way."
