"Good text reading ability."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"It supports many external plugins, and because it's a Java-based platform, it's language-independent. You can use Java, C#, Python, etc."
"The primary benefit is its cost and the ability to use the cloud."
"The testing solution produces the best web applications."
"The most valuable aspect of Selenium is that it gives you the flexibility to customize or write your own code, your own features, etc. It's not restricted by licensing."
"Selenium HQ's most valuable feature is picking up and entering values from web pages."
"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 most of the mainstream browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, IE and etc."
"In general, I would say that the API set is the most valuable feature."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"It has low productivity."
"There was no free trial in it."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"I would like for the next release to support parallel testing."
"It would be very great if Selenium would provide some framework examples so newcomers could get started more quickly."
"The stop control needs to be improved with a configuration tool to enable desktop support."
"The solution's UI path needs to be modernized."
"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."
"The initial setup of Selenium HQ is difficult in many areas, such as the framework."
"It would be better to have a simplified way to locate and identify web elements."
