"Sahi is becoming closed source" is it correct?

dravuri

Hi All,
I want to automate the testing of my web application. I need to choose between sahi and selenium. But I have heard that, Sahi is moving away from Open Source Guidelines. Is this truth? Kindly explain more on this.

Thanks,
ravuri

Hello dravuri,

Sahi is very much an open source tool. You can download the latest version here.

sahi-src_20110719.zip contains the source code as well.

Hi kulkarni,

i heard that shai pro need to buy, if it is open source then y do we need to buy this

if it open source then ever thing should be open source like selenium

in selenium there is no pro version like sahi pro, every thing is open source, we need not to buy any thing in selenium

we are planning to use sahi tool

kindly let me know, what is this sahi pro

thank you

Hello Siva,

Sahi comes in two versions.

1. Open source version (free)
2. Professional version (roughly about USD 350)

The professional version is built around the open source version with more features like database logging, excel framework, flex automation etc. A detailed comparison is available here


If you're going the open source way, you can just download the free version. However, if you want the features available in Sahi Pro, a trial version is available for download. It has a 30 day validity. I would recommend that you evaluate both the versions and see what adds more value to your automation testing.
