"The most valuable feature of Selenium is how easy it is to automate."
"It's easy for new people to get trained on this solution. If we are hiring new people, the resource pool in the market in test automation is largely around Selenium."
"It supports multiple processes, which is great."
"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 is programming language agnostic, you can write tests in most currently used languages."
"Language support - since it supports Java and other programming languages it is easy to integrate with other systems."
"There is a supportive community around it."
"It is a good and user-friendly tool."
"Visual Studio Test Pro is super helpful for my Microsoft app work."
"The most valuable features of Visual Studio Test Professional are the IntelliSense and the ease of adding the NuGet packages."

"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."
"To simplify the development process, everyone needs to do a Selenium Framework to acquire the web application functions and features from Selenium methods."
"There are stability issues with Internet Explorer only."
"For now, I guess Selenium could add some other features like object communications for easy expansion."

"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."

"The product must provide more automation."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The data flow can be improved."
