Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."The standout feature of k6 is its strong focus on API performance testing."
"The solution is very flexible; there are different ways of using it. It's open-source and has a lot of support on offer."
"Language support - since it supports Java and other programming languages it is easy to integrate with other systems."
"Selenium HQ lets you create your customized functions with whatever language you want to use, like Python, Java, .NET, etc. You can integrate with Selenium and write."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to catch content from website."
"Data parametrization and parallelization are the most important features in any automation tool."
"The ability to present your tests on a wiki page and hooking them up to the scripts/fixtures."
"Selenium HQ's most valuable feature is picking up and entering values from web pages."
"My customer previously validated every file and it would take almost 15-20 minutes for a document. They used to randomly select and test only 100 out of the thousands, maybe 85,000, files, to pick up sampling. Each file would take around 20 to 25 minutes, so we were not able to do it manually, but with the help of Selenium, we were able to test all the files in two days. It saves a lot of time."
"One area where k6 could improve is by introducing a GUI similar to JMeter."
"I would like to see XPath made more reliable so that it can be used in all browsers."
"I would like to see automatic logs generated."
"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."
"Could have additional readability and abstraction."
"Selenium could offer better ways to record and create scripts. IDE is available, however, it can be improved."
"The stop control needs to be improved with a configuration tool to enable desktop support."
"Sometimes we face challenges with Selenium HQ. There are third party tools that we use, for example for reading the images, that are not easy to plug in. The third party add-ons are difficult to get good configuration and do not have good support. I would like to see better integration with other products."
"The login could be improved, to obviate the need for relying on another one for integration with Selenium HQ"
