Sahi Pro

Reviews

• Open source, setup was easy, API easy to understand, javascript, java, ruby support, notepad ++ plugin, etc. After trying it out for an hour or two, I feel more research is warranted. 
  The major red flag I found was was that there wasn't much written about it on blogs, and the community seems small. So why isn't this tool more common? For those who have evaluated it why did you choose something else?

  • I think it is because Sahi Open Source offers only a very limitied functionality compared to other free tools/api's like Selenium. Sahi Pro costs USD 495! for functionality that you get from other tools for free like taking screenshots or grid.

• Not like Selenium, everything I tried worked. Sahi runs great on IE, FireFox, Chrome and Safari; it handles waits implicitly (you do not need to put any waits in your scripts); can run tests in parallel right out of the box (so to speak); and many many other great features... long story short: Sahi was just like Selenuim... except it worked! 

  • It was a complete no-brainer for me. I've been using Sahi for a few years and have found it a fantastic tool for test automation. I do wish there were more folks blogging about Sahi (besides me)... this unfortunately gives flippant, biased statements (as seen here) more credence. But this will change if folks just give it a try. So to answer to the OPs question, Sahi isn't as common as other tools because they are better at building tools than they are at marketing.
