We evaluated other options but chose Selenium because of the skill sets in the market. If you use other solutions, the challenge is that if a person leaves, you won't get a second person or third person. Replacements are very difficult to come by if you are using different solutions.

I've also worked with Micro Focus. 

I'm working with Micro Focus, however, for that part, I'm working on the mainframe - although I've done some web testing using Micro Focus on a website. Otherwise, I found Selenium to be easier, and simpler to use than Micro Focus when it comes to the web. A lot of support online is available. A lot of forums, and communities are there. For Micro Focus, the part where you identify objects on a webpage, that part is pretty simple on Selenium. You can use XPath or CSS or IDE or anything, and it works fine. Yet with Micro Focus, the web part, I found it a little tedious to work with. Selenium is much easier in that sense on the web part.

It has been Selenium for me from the get-go. I've been here at XPO for almost five years. Before that, I was more of a contractor, and I did a couple of contracts. When I went to a healthcare company, they really didn't have a great framework. So, I started one, but I doubt that they're still using it. That's because it requires a lot of knowledge to be able to create a framework.

It is something that I've been always using. I've done some research on some other tools to be able to do things, but I always come back to Selenium. 

We're an angular-based house, and all our pages are in angular. There are some other products that run on top of JavaScript besides Selenium. There are quite a few people out there who are using Protractor, which is an end-to-end type of test framework, but it works specifically for angular applications. We have never gone down that path. We just stuck with Selenium.

If you only look at the web application automation from Selenium HQ compared to other tools, such as WorkSoft and UFT, the speed of execution is very slow in WorkSoft and UFT. The scalability with multiple browsers is simpler and easier in Selenium HQ, whereas it's a bit more complicated in WorkSoft and UFT.

I've also used Appium in the past.

We're just getting started with Katalon, and it's our first time using it.

I used Micro Focus UFT One earlier.

We did previously use Eggplant. It's not open-source. It's actually pretty expensive. 

One benefit of Eggplant was testing mobile apps. Also, you don't find so much information on Stack Overflow or on the internet about Eggplant; they have good support.

At my previous company, we used a UFT tool called Micro Focus UFT. We used this because it was a different kind of use case where we had to transfer our publications back and forth between the mainframe and the mobile application. So we have to format that, which is why we used the UFT.

We have used other solutions previously but we chose Selenium HQ because it supports multiple browsers. If you want to check on multiple browsers using the same script, we don't have to change anything.

I have also worked with Micro Focus.

In the past, I used a very good solution. However, it had a high cost and had to be used by more than one resource.

I have used other tools as well. Each tool has its own pros and cons. Each organization also has its own unique needs. There are budgets, resources, and other factors that would come into play as well.

I have had experience with Rational tools in the past, but with DWA Commerce, we wanted to go the open source route. 

I used SilkTest and QTP before using Selenium

I was using Appium previously.

In the past I have used HPE QuickTest Pro, now ALM. Also Coded UI. However, Selenium is better for web applications, although the others provide more versatility in terms of supporting more than just web applications! They come with their license fees as well.

Previously, I used UFT but switched to Selenium HQ as it's an open-source product while UFT is licensed.

Selenium only works with web-based applications, it does not work on desktops, or any Java-based, form-based applications. There is no automation for any of these kinds of applications. With the Oracle Application Testing Suite, it can do anything. Currently, it has some drawbacks in automating desktop-based applications. However, the main difference is Selenium only sticks to web-based applications. But Oracle Application Testing Suite, or any other testing suite, like UFT, can automate a form-based or desktop-based application.

Previously, I was using VSTS Ultimate.

I've previously used Node.js and Cypress.

I have some experience with Selenium WebDriver and Rest Assured API automation. 

In regards to mobile automation, we use Appium.

Six months ago, I work on Selenium NUnit.

5/10

I have used Tricentis Tosca before, but I find Selenium much better as it is an open source tool and free to use.

I have not used any other solution before.

I used QTP previously for web test automation. Until recently, QTP had limitations because of the scripting language (VB Script) and inability to run automation scripts on multiple operating systems and browsers. After starting work with Selenium, I did not consider any other automation tool for web automation.

We used IBM Rational Functional Tester v8.5. The reason we switched over this product was because Selenium WebDriver:

• Is Open source
• Supports execution in multiple browsers
• Has the ability to run multiple tests across browsers and OS at the same time using Selenium Grid

We worked with other solutions previously and changed to Selenium because of the cost of the license.

We are also using Microsoft Team Foundation (TFS), which is now known as Azure DevOps. We are upgrading to DevOps.

I also use SmartBear. Selenium only works for web browsers, and sometimes I need to check an application. When that is the case, I cannot use Selenium, and I instead use SmartBear.

I have briefly used QTP. There are a few reasons.It is an open-source tool and it has cross browser support. Testers can run automated test cases in different browser, and QA engineers can write test cases in his/her choice of language such as Java, Ruby, Python and a few others.

For about 10 years ago I used TestComplete for Windows Forms to write the regression suite for application. I didn’t choose this product, it was a part of the solution by the time I started to work there. As I remember it was a great product but it requires the license. It can be good for the product company which I was working in but it doesn’t fit consulting companies.

Miro Focus was a better solution than Selenium HQ for none programmers, it is easier to use.

We were using another set of tools for quite some time before we switched to Selenium HQ.

We are also using Appium, which has native support for Android and iOS devices.

I used a few commercial solutions in my career and Selenium offered me (almost) everything that this products did, in some cases even more. I chose it because it's open source, easy to integrate with other technologies/tools and offers everything that automation testing team needs.

I have used Coded UI from Microsoft, which I believe will be deprecated some time this year. That was a very good solution. Before that, I also used HP QTP. Both of those are easier solutions than Selenium but also quite expensive. 

We also use ReadyAPI alongside Selenium. We're working to integrate the two to have an overall more powerful performance.

I had used TestComplete at one point a very long time ago. What I didn’t like about TC is that it was a complete development environment, which I didn’t really like. Selenium gives me the ability to write my test using the programming environment I am already familiar with.

We also use Sauce Labs.

We used a different product that was not open source. We wanted to use open source.

We were using Micro Focus UFT which is for Windows application and used Selenium for web use. The two solutions are not comparable in my opinion because they both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Used other is solutions for my assignments, and more opensource ones.

I used Silk Test and Win Runner previously. Borland SilkTest is an excellent tool, but it costs.

It wasn't very difficult.

I used Capybara. I am more familiar with Java

I haven't had to use any other products.

This product is more user friendly than others. So this is the reason for choosing this product.
