Selenium HQ Pros and Cons

What I like the most about this product is that it gives us a lot of freedom to code anything, there is no restriction on the type of function you can do.

Ability to integrate with every other tool.

In general, I would say that the API set is the most valuable feature.

The most valuable aspect of Selenium is that it gives you the flexibility to customize or write your own code, your own features, etc. It's not restricted by licensing.

The solution is very flexible; there are different ways of using it. It's open-source and has a lot of support on offer.

I like that it is a robust and free open source. There is a lot of community support available, and there are a lot of developers using them. There's good community support.

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.

It supports multiple processes, which is great.

The testing solution produces the best web applications.

It is compatible with and supports multiple languages, such as Java and Python. It is open source, and it is widely used.

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.

Could have additional readability and abstraction.

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.

The solution does not offer up enough information in regards to personality testing.

There should be standardized frameworks to build automation.

The solution is open-source, so everyone relies on the community to assist with troubleshooting and information sharing. If there's a complex issue no one has faced, it may take a while to solve the problem.

It would be better to have a simplified way to locate and identify web elements.

Selenium uses a layer-based approach that is somewhat slower than Eggplant when it comes to executing code.

It is not a licensed tool. The problem with that is that it won't be able to support Windows desktop applications. There is no support for Windows desktop applications. They can do something about it. Its user interface can also be improved, which is not great compared to the other latest tools. Anybody who has been working on functional testing or manual testing cannot directly work on Selenium HQ without learning programming skills, which is a disadvantage.
