Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."The standout feature of k6 is its strong focus on API performance testing."
"Ability to integrate with every other tool."
"It is programming language agnostic, you can write tests in most currently used languages."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Its biggest advantage is that it is very customizable."
"The main characteristic that is useful is that the tool is completely free."
"The ability to present your tests on a wiki page and hooking them up to the scripts/fixtures."
"One area where k6 could improve is by introducing a GUI similar to JMeter."
"An improvement to Selenium HQ would be the inclusion of a facility to work on Shadow DOM."
"It does require a programming skill set. I would like the product not to require a heavy programming skill set and be more user-friendly for someone without a programming background."
"The latest versions are often unstable."
"Selenium HQ doesn't support Windows-based applications, so we need to integrate with the third-party vendor. It would be great if Selenium could include Windows-based automation. You need to integrate it with a third-party tool if you want to upload any files. When we interact with a Windows application, we usually use Tosca."
"Shadow DOM could be improved and the handling of single page applications. Right now, it's a bit complicated and there are a lot of additional scripts required if you want to handle a single page application in a neat way."
"It would be very helpful to be able to write scripts in a GUI, rather than depend so heavily on the command line."
"It would be very great if Selenium would provide some framework examples so newcomers could get started more quickly."
"It would be better if we could use it without having the technical skills to run the scripting test."
