"The most valuable feature of Selenium is how easy it is to automate."
"The primary benefit is its cost and the ability to use the cloud."
"It is more stable in comparison to other solutions because they have quite some experience in the market."
"What I like about Selenium HQ is that we wrote it ourselves. I think it's perfect. It's a framework that you can use to devise your own products, which is nice."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to catch content from website."
"The most valuable features are the ability to test and debug."
"It supports many external plugins, and because it's a Java-based platform, it's language-independent. You can use Java, C#, Python, etc."
"One area where k6 could improve is by introducing a GUI similar to JMeter."
"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 initial setup of Selenium HQ is difficult in many areas, such as the framework."
"I would like to see a library of bomb files with an automated process and integration with Jenkins and Slack."
"We'd like to see some more image management in future releases."
"The installation could be simplified, it is a bit difficult to install."
"Could have additional readability and abstraction."
"I would like to see Selenium HQ support legacy platforms."
"Selenium HQ can improve by creating an enterprise version where it can provide the infrastructure for running the tests. Currently, we need to run the test in our infrastructure because it's a free tool. If Google can start an enterprise subscription and they can provide us with the infrastructure, such as Google Cloud infrastructure where we can configure it, and we can run the test there, it would be highly beneficial."
