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.

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"The testing solution produces the best web applications."
"It supports many external plugins, and because it's a Java-based platform, it's language-independent. You can use Java, C#, Python, etc."
"We designed the Omani-channel automation framework, and achieved the maximum testing coverage includes localization (approximately 19), environment (web and mobile [iOS and Android]), and browser."
"If you have the right people on hand, it works very, very well."
"Hot tool in market. Makes thing easier to use and implement."
"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."
"It is programming language agnostic, you can write tests in most currently used languages."
"It saves us lot of time and cost once implemented."
 

Cons

"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."
"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."
"Some improvements can be implemented as compared to Playwright, which is why I rate it seven out of ten."
"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."
"The IDE portion is useful for doing quick recordings of steps, but the resulting scripts are extremely fragile."
"I have found that at times the tool does not catch the class features of website content correctly. The product's AWS configuration is also hard."
"Selenium has been giving us failures sometimes. It is not working one hundred percent of the time when we are creating elements. They need to improve the stability of the solution."
"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."
"Selenium could offer better ways to record and create scripts. IDE is available, however, it can be improved."
"The initial setup is little complicated the installation could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"It is all free."
"It's open-source, so there's no need to pay for a license."
"Selenium HQ is open source and our use of it in our company is provided for free."
"Selenium is an open-source solution, and It's free."
"Selenium HQ is a free solution."
"It's open-source, so it's free."
"The solution is open-source, so it is 100% free with no hidden charges."
"It is free."
