We performed a comparison between Galen Framework, Sauce Labs, and Selenium HQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."What I like most about Galen Framework are its advantages, particularly its spec language and the spec file feature."
"The Failure Analysis feature is really important for us, one of the most important aspects. What is the root cause? Is it because we have a defect or is it that we have a test case that we need to fix or modify? The Failure Analysis is one of the main functionalities that I am exploring all the time in Sauce Labs... The Failure Analysis helps us to discover which test cases we need to work on."
"It has significantly enhanced our testing accuracy by approximately 50%."
"Easy to integrate with the other platform for tracking purposes."
"The most critical thing is that this software aligns with our Agile and DevOps way of doing things. It integrates with kickoff scripts through DevOps."
"The abundance of device, platform, and browser combinations/versions that can be used in parallel."
"Sauce Labs provides us with more combinations to test, so we can keep adding platforms and devices to our network. That's been a very seamless experience. Let's say there's an iOS or a private device we need. Sauce Labs has helped get all those set up when needed."
"With Sauce Labs, we have a whole universe of devices: Galaxy, all the iPhones, and all the operating system versions. All our software developers are able to test on a multitude of different devices."
"They offer a large number of devices and browser/operating system combinations for real device tests"
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the Selenium grid, which allows us to run tests in parallel."
"Selenium WebDriver and Selenium IDE are useful."
"It supports multiple processes, which is great."
"The ability to present your tests on a wiki page and hooking them up to the scripts/fixtures."
"Selenuim helps us during testing. We are able to reduce the number and frequency of manual efforts by using scripts."
"Some of the most valuable features of this solution are open-source, they have good support, good community support, and it supports multiple languages whether you use C-Sharp or not. These are some of the most important benefits."
"You can build your own framework. I think that's the most powerful feature. You can connect with a lot of other tools that use frameworks, or keywords, etc. That helps make it a stronger solution."
"There don't seem to be functions available for automatically generating Galen values based on the specifications in the spec file, and this could be a potential improvement for Galen Framework."
"User account management needs an overhauls, allowing for user groups rather than just a hierarchy structure."
"The Jenkins Sauce OnDemand plugin could have more options available to tap into more of the custom capabilities Sauce Labs actually supports."
"The only drawback is the speed, it will be good if we have a server in Asia too. It will be great if we can improve speed while initialization and execution."
"The testing process is difficult. I need to prove the complete competency of the tool, and I am finding that challenging."
"Sauce Labs needs to be improved in the different platforms for farm testing, like iOS and Android farm testing and farm testing web browsers."
"There have been various times throughout the last month or so where the service has gone down during business hours."
"With the desktop browser, we can inspect any screen with the web developer option, but they should provide something for mobiles so that we can quickly inspect elements on the device. To write the Selenium scripts, we require web locators. We have to capture them from the local and execute the script on Sauce Labs. If Sauce Labs can provide a solution where we can inspect any of the mobile devices online, it will be very helpful for us."
"Another aspect that could be improved is having the virtual devices boot up a little quicker. Sometimes we wait up to a minute before a device is available. It would be nice if that was 30 seconds or so."
"Selenium HQ could have better interaction with SAP products."
"I would like to see a library of bomb files with an automated process and integration with Jenkins and Slack."
"The solution's UI path needs to be modernized."
"Selenium Grid set-up is bit complex."
"I would like to see XPath made more reliable so that it can be used in all browsers."
"They should add more functionality to the solution."
"One limitation of Selenium is that it is purely focused on web application testing."
"It would be better if we could use it without having the technical skills to run the scripting test."
