Citus Cloud ATS vs. Selenium vs. Tricentis Testim

When you have to test the UI and how it behaves when certain actions are performed, you need something that can automate the browsers. This is where Selenium comes to the rescue. If you have to test APIs and not the frontend (UI), I would recommend going with other libraries that support HTTP Requests. Selenium is good only when you have no choice but to run the steps on a browser.

Testim has been great at automating Frontend and integration regression testing. I do not think it would work wellTricentis Testimfor backend code testing, if it could not be done through UI. The record function is very good, and makes automating test cases much faster and more accurate. We have had great success using Testim to verify SalesForce environments, NetSuite environments, and our own JumpCloud application as well.

• For any web based UI automation, Selenium is the best tool out there to automate your tests.
• It supports multiple coding languages like Java, Python, Ruby, C# etc.. to choose from.
• There is a huge community of users and can get many answers on StackOverFlow.
• It has lot of other plugins to make your tests even more efficient.

• It provides a codeless testing environment, allowing non-technical users such as business analysts and testers to create and maintain automated tests without writing code. This democratizes test automation and accelerates test creation.
• The platform leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms to analyze user interactions with the application and automatically generate test scripts. This significantly reduces the time and effort required to create test cases.
• Its AI capabilities enable tests to adapt to changes in the application's user interface (UI) automatically. If UI elements change, the platform can identify and update the tests accordingly, reducing maintenance overhead.

• Selenium is pretty user-friendly but sometimes tests tend to flake out. I'd say roughly one out of twenty tests yields a false positive.
• Selenium software cannot read images. This is a minor negative because a free plug-in is available from alternate sources.
• Slowness may be a minor factor with Selenium, though this is an issue with basically any testing software since waiting on a site to execute JavaScript requires the browser to wait for a particular action.

• Providing more comprehensive reporting and analytics capabilities, including customizable dashboards and insights into test execution results, could help users gain deeper insights into their test coverage and quality.
• Expanding integration capabilities with a wider range of external systems, tools, and test management platforms could increase flexibility and interoperability within the testing ecosystem.
• Enhancements in organizing and managing test scenarios and test suites could improve the user experience. Features such as better folder structures, tags, and hierarchical organization could make it easier to manage large test suites.

We love this product mainly because of its high customization abilities and the ease of use. Moreover, its free and can be learned easily through online communities and videos. The tests are more consistent and reliable as compared to Manual tests. It has enabled us to test a large number of features all in one go, which would have impossible through manual tests. The reports generated at the end of the tests are really helpful for the QA and the development teams to get a fair view of the application.

For those who are unfamiliar with coding, there is a bit of a learning curve. There is plenty of helpful documentation and resources but it can take a little time to get the software up and running. Once you get the hang of how Selenium works, and what it can do, you realize how many things you can use it for, and how many processes you can automate.

We are using Testim all the time. Every new, big we roll out feature has tests and it is our only tool for regression tests.

The Selenium app has a pretty fat community of users. For the problems we are experiencing, we are primarily receiving support from these communities. In addition, there is widespread service support. Instant support is given to the problems we experience when we need Online support. We and our team are happy to provide this support, especially before important deployment processes

The customer support is the best I have ever experienced, both personally and in a job role. The chat anytime is a very nice option, there has never been more than a few minute wait to connect with someone, and the agents are very knowledgeable and helpful.

We did everything we needed to use it. Now we can execute our tests on different operational systems and browsers running few tests simultaneously. We also implemented Appium framework to execute our tests on mobile devices, such as iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets. We use SauceLabs for our test execution and Jenkins for continuous integration.

At the time of adoption, there were not many other alternatives that were even close to being competitive when it comes to browser testing. As far as I know now to this day, there is still little competition to Selenium for what it does. Any other browser-based testing still utilises Selenium to interact with the browser.

We evaluated several other products, and what gave Tricentis Testim the edge was the ease of use, the customer support and the pricing. While others seemed to have a bit more complex functionality, we have been able to build almost every use case the way we would expect, with very few workarounds.

• There hasn’t been a downside to using it yet other than we’ve got to update the programs we create for each change.
• This has saved us hundreds of hours of manpower by allowing our automation engineer to rapid fire tests.
• We are able to screenshot and save entire sites before and after launch with a program the automation engineer created
• We can compare large volumes of data against data in excel docs with a program created using Selenium

• Tricentis Testim has helped us run a thorough regression daily, something that we were unable to do before
• Tricentis Testim has helped us to catch many seemingly unrelated bugs in a test environment the day of/day after code changes
• Tricentis Testim low code approach has helped us to create automation tests much faster, with more confidence, and allows much easier maintenance
