"I like its simplicity."
"The solution is free to use."
"The most valuable features are the ability to test and debug."
"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."
"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."
"It is very stable."
"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."
"It supports most of the mainstream browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, IE and etc."
"One area where k6 could improve is by introducing a GUI similar to JMeter."
"Whenever an object is changed or something is changed in the UI, then we have to refactor the code."
"In the beginning, we had issues with several test cases failing during regression. Over a period of time, we built our own framework around Selenium which helped us overcome of these issues."
"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."
"It is not a licensed tool. The problem with that is that it won't be able to support Windows desktop applications. There is no support for Windows desktop applications. They can do something about it. Its user interface can also be improved, which is not great compared to the other latest tools. Anybody who has been working on functional testing or manual testing cannot directly work on Selenium HQ without learning programming skills, which is a disadvantage."
"Selenium HQ can be complex. The interface requires a QA engineer or an expert to use it."
"Handling frames and windows needs to be improved."
"The solution does not offer up enough information in regards to personality testing."
"I would like to see some reporting or test management tools."
