A testing platform with a good API for apps, but pricing is complicated
I like that the AI Testbot is a near-zero code application for testing. For this use case, the function is good. The services are robust. Game testing and the API for apps are also good. From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied.

Offers versatility in testing automation while improvements can elevate its capabilities
I currently use Jenkins and Maven for framework development. The flow involves creating the project with Maven, and once test case execution is completed locally, we push the jobs to Jenkins. It automatically triggers the executions in Jenkins so everyone in the team can see the execution report and status. I would rate the solution at 60% out of 100. Previously, troubleshooting was difficult. When test cases fail for various reasons, logs cannot explain everything, but logging is very important to get the failure results. For logging, Amazon Q will suggest where the log code needs to be included. In Jenkins, when the code is executed and results are viewed, we can easily identify where the error occurred and troubleshoot efficiently, reducing time by two to three hours. I can recommend many packages with Selenium HQ. Wait conditions and numerous features are available to use. I recommend most of them to individuals. My overall rating for Selenium HQ is 7 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ability to use different frameworks."
"The overall product is awesome for device fragmentation, but not for automation."
"The feature that I like the most is that you can use different frameworks, whether it's APM or something else, and you don't need to worry about the framework."
"From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"It's easy for new people to get trained on this solution. If we are hiring new people, the resource pool in the market in test automation is largely around Selenium."
"I like its simplicity."
"The plugins, the components, and the method of the library with Selenium is very user defined."
"If you have the right people on hand, it works very, very well."
"Selenium HQ has a lot of capabilities and is compatible with many languages."
"It's easy for new people to get trained on this solution."
"The ability to present your tests on a wiki page and hooking them up to the scripts/fixtures."
"It covers all regression testing with 20,000 test cases run during 24 hours and easy maintenance."
 

Cons

"Some stages of its automation is not working correctly and I need to make changes in the code created by Testdroid."
"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"The solution's UI path needs to be modernized."
"To some extent it is unstable while executing against different versions of IE browser, but that could be overcome through some work-around and framework design."
"For Selenium, I have to work on it and develop some additional things, configurations, integrations, etc."
"I would like to see a better method handling. I mean methods/properties like Displayed, which should return false when there is no such element on the page instead NoSuchElementException, which has to be handled in my code – it should be provided with Selenium."
"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."
"One drawback to Selenium is that there is nothing like an object repository, such as that found in QTP, especially considering continuous integration practices that have become common nowadays."
"One key area for improvement is the documentation."
"We'd like to see some more image management in future releases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"Selenium HQ is a free, open-source solution."
"Selenium is free software so we do not pay licensing costs."
"Selenium HQ is open source and our use of it in our company is provided for free."
"It is an open-source tool."
"This product is open source and free. That was a huge deciding factor for us getting into it."
"It is all free."
"Selenium HQ is a free solution."
"The setup cost is open source or free."
