"The most valuable feature of the solution is the scanning or security part."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Postman."
"It highlights, with several grades of severity, the types of vulnerabilities, so we can focus on the most severe security vulnerabilities in the code."
"The solution is easy to install. I would rate the product's setup between six to seven out of ten. The deployment time depends on the applications that need to be scanned. We have a development and operations team to take care of the product's maintenance."
"It provides a better integration for our ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature of Selenium HQ is the ability to configure a lot of automated processes."
"Selenuim helps us during testing. We are able to reduce the number and frequency of manual efforts by using scripts."
"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 found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"Selenium HQ's most valuable feature is its online community support, which is comprehensive and easy to access."
"The most valuable features of Selenium HQ are it is open source and has multiple languages and browser support. It's very useful."
"The most valuable features are the ability to test and debug."
"The most valuable features of Selenium HQ are it is open-source, has a good interface, and integrates well."
"The solution needs to improve in some areas. The tool needs to add more languages. It also needs to improve its speed."
"The databases for HCL are small and have room for improvement."
"HCL AppScan needs to improve security."
"The solution could improve by having a mobile version."
"If HCL AppScan is able to alert the clients over email once the scan is complete, it would be great. Right now, HCL AppScan doesn't let me know if the scanning part is finished or not, because of which I have to come back and check mostly."
"Improvement can be done as per customer requirements."
"It has crashed at times."
"Improving usability could enhance the overall experience with AppScan. It would be beneficial to make the solution more user-friendly, ensuring that everyone can easily navigate and utilize its features."
"I would like to see automatic logs generated."
"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."
"Improvement in Selenium's ability to identify and wait for the page/element to load would be a big plus. This would ensure that our failed test cases will drop by 60%."
"For email-based applications, we can't automate as we would like to, making it necessary to bring in a third-party product to do so."
"We'd like to see some more image management in future releases."
"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."
"The reporting part can be better."
"It would be very helpful to be able to write scripts in a GUI, rather than depend so heavily on the command line."
