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.

Automation in testing processes sees improvement with multi-browser support and easier website interactions
Selenium HQ could improve by including a robust reporting framework, eliminating the need for external frameworks. The tool could simplify object identification, enabling users to generate XPaths without requiring detailed DOM understanding. Additionally, an automatic update mechanism for Selenium HQ would be beneficial, eliminating the need for manual downloads and updates of browser drivers when new versions are released.

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."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"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."
"The overall product is awesome for device fragmentation, but not for automation."
"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."
"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."
"It's not too complicated to implement."
"In general, I would say that the API set is the most valuable feature."
"It covers all regression testing with 20,000 test cases run during 24 hours and easy maintenance."
"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."
"I have found using IDE and Cucumber framework is good."
"The framework for testing is robust with Selenium, the integration with TestNG and Gherkin with Cucumber is great, and there is a supportive community around it."
"The primary benefit is its cost and the ability to use the cloud."
 

Cons

"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."
"Some stages of its automation is not working correctly and I need to make changes in the code created by Testdroid."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"Whenever an object is changed or something is changed in the UI, then we have to refactor the code."
"There is no good tool to find the Xpath. They should provide a good tool to find Xpath for dynamic elements and integrate API (REST/ SOAP) testing support."
"They can improve test reporting, and more importantly on test scripts, by providing less constructs to automate more complex testing scenarios."
"When we upgrade the version, some features are missing. I want the product to include some AI capabilities."
"I would like to see automatic logs generated."
"The stop control needs to be improved with a configuration tool to enable desktop support."
"Both of those are easier solutions than Selenium but also quite expensive."
"It is not easy to make IE plus Selenium work good as other browsers. Firefox and Chrome are the best ones to work with Selenium."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"The solution is open-source, so it is 100% free with no hidden charges."
"The setup cost is open source or free."
"The pricing is open source."
"Selenium HQ is open source and our use of it in our company is provided for free."
