"Selenium HQ has a lot of capabilities and is compatible with many languages."
"Selenium HQ's most valuable feature is its online community support, which is comprehensive and easy to access."

While we were browsing our web application, it automatically records all the clicks and movements of points. We also appreciate the fact that it provides screenshots of everything in the output."
"The testing solution produces the best web applications."
"Selenuim helps us during testing. We are able to reduce the number and frequency of manual efforts by using scripts."
"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."
"I like its simplicity."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool. It covers all necessary items in the test plan. The most painful item in testing is maintenance. When changes occur, the tests should be maintained."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"Improvement in Selenium's ability to identify and wait for the page/element to load would be a big plus. This would ensure that our failed test cases will drop by 60%."
"They should add more functionality to the solution."
"To simplify the development process, everyone needs to do a Selenium Framework to acquire the web application functions and features from Selenium methods."
"Selenium could offer better ways to record and create scripts. IDE is available, however, it can be improved."
"The solution's UI path needs to be modernized."
"Selenium HQ doesn't have any self-healing capabilities."
"Coding skills are required to use Selenium, so it could be made more user-friendly for non-programmers."
"There should be standardized frameworks to build automation."
"Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
