"Selenium web driver - Java."
"There is a supportive community around it."
"The most valuable feature of Selenium is how easy it is to automate."

"I am impressed with the product's ability to catch content from website."
"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."
"Whenever an object is changed or something is changed in the UI, then we have to refactor the code."
"The solution's UI path needs to be modernized."
"Selenium HQ could have better interaction with SAP products."
"Selenium is good when the team is really technical because Selenium does less built-in methods. If it came with more built-in and pre-built methods it would be even easier for less technical people to work with it. That's where I think the improvement can be."
"Selenium could offer better ways to record and create scripts. IDE is available, however, it can be improved."
"The latest versions are often unstable."
"I continuously see failures in threads when it is running in parallel."
"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."
