Comparison Results: After comparing all parameters, Selenium HQ seems to be the more popular choice, since it is open-source and has very good documentation and community-based support available.
"Selenium has helped to complete tests in less time, which would not be possible relying on manual testing only."
"I like the record and playback features. We also appreciate that it's not just writing on a script that we create. 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."
"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"The testing solution produces the best web applications."
"All the features in Selenium to automate the UI."
"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."
"Data parametrization and parallelization are the most important features in any automation tool."
"Ability to integrate with every other tool."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"The reporting is really nice."
"We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would take us at least two months. By automating these tasks using Tosca, now it takes five to 10 days maximum. Tricentis Tosca is a codeless or scriptless automation tool."
"The initial setup of Selenium HQ is difficult in many areas, such as the framework."
"We'd like to see some more image management in future releases."
"I would like to see automatic logs generated."
"For now, I guess Selenium could add some other features like object communications for easy expansion."
"You need to have experience in order to do the initial setup."
"When we upgrade the version, some features are missing. I want the product to include some AI capabilities."
"We do not have enough resources or enough people to employ and hire. So, I'm hiring whoever I find, and they don't always have enough technical knowledge to operate Selenium."
"Selenium has been giving us failures sometimes. It is not working one hundred percent of the time when we are creating elements. They need to improve the stability of the solution."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it. After that, they tried a new approach with key-tracing, and that didn't work."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
