Criteria	Selenium	SoliteraTA (STA)	Remarks/Benefits of STA
User Interface	No dedicated user interfaces, uses 3rd party code editors	Built-in comprehensive user interfaces	No compilers or 3rd party code editors needed Built in pre-defined test steps selection Search and replace keywords and steps
User Access Control on Projects	No. This is dependent on integration with other tools with Selenium	Integrated user control via workspaces and associated projects	Remarkable feature to keep separate workspaces for different projects/programmes.
Training and Learning curve	Learning curve is effort intensive. Couple of months to be proficient working with Selenium and skilled in one programming language	Learning curve is fast. Couple of days to be proficient with STA. No prior programming language experience needed	STA is very easy to use and for a unified test automation approach.
Tool Support	Selenium don't provide direct support. Community-based support available - effort intensive	Priority support, dedicated service comes with the license	Customer can benefit with tailored services/resources as per their need. E.g. a dedicated project engagement function for a faster responses.
Test Self-Healing capabilities during execution	Not a direct feature - it requires custom implementation	Built-in test self-healing mechanism	Via settings section, this can further tuned to user needs.
Test Reporting	Basic test reporting. External tools integration required for detailed reporting.	Built-in detailed test reports. Debugger mode for quick review of test results.
Test Management	Basic. Needs knowledge and integration with other tools	Comprehensive, integrated test management with result upload
Test Framework	Requires test framework development for robust usage. Test framework development and continuous maintenance is an expensive process	STA comes with built-in test automation framework. No extra charges for this.
Test Data	No directly supported.	Create and manage Test Data easily	Users can manage mutiple test data and choose which one to use at run time.
Test Application	Automate Web applications testing only	Automate Web, Mobile, Desktop, API and DB Testing
Technical Documentation	Community-driven, can be inconsistent	Detailed and structured user guides	Videos and practice session available.
Software Updates	Community-driven updates	Regular and scheduled updates available
Skilled Resource(s)	Critical dependency on SDET and test automation engineers to develop and maintain test automation capability	No dependency on SDET and automation engineers. Manual tester, test managers, PMO, BA - anyone with computer skills can easily automate.	Roughly an additional 5% of yearly cost of a sr. tester, you can actually save cost of SDET & expensive automation engineers. In addition, you are getting reduced testing cycles and bigger test automation capability. There is no critical dependencies on dedicated human resources to manage changes.
Self-Service Features	Limited to community tools and scripts	Features like Self-Heal, Image Healer, and Script Editor
Script Generation	Additionally provide record and playback the workflow. Not maintainable for workflow changes.	Provide record and convert into test scripts. Easy to manage and maintainable for changes	STA comes with pre-built automated test steps. Users can avoid duplicate effort of manually writing test cases and then covert into test scripts.
Script Enhancement Features	Primarily manual enhancements required	Auto suggestions, step definition keyword insertion	Via "search and replace" users can also update multiple scripts in a single go.
Scheduling Test Execution	Not directly supported	STA provide to schedule your test to execute in future	It work best if a dedicated machine allocated for test execution.
Productivity of Test Scripting	On an average a test engineer can create 1.5 to 5 test scripts per day	On an average test engineer can create 5 to 15 test scripts per day. New feature testing in agile dev can be done using STA
Playlists for Test Execution	Not directly supported	Playlist module for sequencing and managing test scripts and regression list
Mobile Testing Support	Not supported	Directly supported with integrated tools and configurations using Appium.	Users to follow some steps to enable mobile application testing.
Maintenance	Manual and one by one	Automatic, version controls, Faster(workflow replacers as needed)	Automation maintenance cost can be one third using STA
Licensing	Open source	Paid, with free trial and community licenses available	Individual license is £2500 per annum - all Web, Mobile, Desktop, API and DB test automation - no coding experience needed
Image Processing Capability	Not directly supported, requires third-party tools and knowledge to develop and integrate	Built-in OCR and Image Repo
Execution Type	Supports parallel execution via third-party tools. Need specialise knowledge for this.	Supports multiple, parallel executions natively. No specialised knowledge needed.

Workflow to automate a predefined test case

Example: User Registration Test Case

Test case name: Successful New User Registration

Navigate to the user registration page.
Fill in correct values for the new user's information. (Test Data User Name - John Smith, Email -
john.smith@example.com, Password – P@ssw0rd”)
Click the "Register" button.
Verify that the user is redirected to the login page. (Test Data - Thank you for registering. You may now login.”)

Example: User Registration Test Case

Test case name: Successful New User Registration

Navigate to the user registration page.
Fill in correct values for the new user's information. (Test Data User Name - John Smith, Email -
john.smith@example.com, Password – P@ssw0rd”)
Click the "Register" button.
Verify that the user is redirected to the login page. (Test Data - Thank you for registering. You may now login.”)

Example: User registration in BDD

Scenario: User provides valid information for registration

Given I have entered my name as "John Smith"
And I have entered my email address as "john.smith@example.com"
And I have entered a strong password "P@ssw0rd"
When I click the Register button
Then I should see a success message "Thank you for registering. You may now login."

Project readiness

Create your project and application

Create your project, release, application and test data in the "Environment" module.
Create your element File (Use the auto creation feature to capture web element)

Automate your test case

From the "Script Editor" module, select the required operations ,

Given I set the selected browser
And navigate to the URL "your_url_name"
And enter value <your_user_names> for "user_field"
And enter value <your_email> for "email_field"
And enter value <your_password> for "password_field"
And click on button "registration"
And verify element "expected_registration_message" is displayed on the UI
Then close the browser

Test Execution

Execute your Test Script

Use the "Execution" button available in the script editor.
Alternatively , use the "Plan Run" module for script execution.

Test Reporting

Detailed test report

Tool generates detailed test reports, including metrics and graphs, to help users analyse the test results.

Regression Capability Management

Add the automated test script's into regression suites.

Use "Playlist" module to create your regression suites.
Invoke regression execution using the "Plan Run" module.

Trunk2Tale

We went to Solitera to help us in developing, maintaining and managing our Web Application Trunk2Tale; a story, memory and social media web app for older persons and their family.
Trunk2Tale was successfully developed, is now on the open market and Solitera ensures it’s continued successful functioning. One of the biggest ongoing benefits for Trunk2Tale is that we can access Solitera’s automatic testing tool, SoliteraTA.
The Solitera team automated the regression testing scenarios (168) within weeks and we estimate that the total saving is approximately 68% of an engineer’s cost. We are benefiting from the automated capability in each sprint flawlessly. We could not be happier with the service we have and are receiving.
