Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."It's an open-source solution with a very large community and available documentation."
"The library is extensive so the driver interacts with most functions or actions on mobile devices."
"The best feature of Appium is that it allows you to inspect the element. With the Appium Inspector, you don't have to install another application to do the inspection. I also like that Appium has Android device connectivity. Currently, most people use Appium as automation software, and I haven't found any other tool that's more powerful than Appium."
"It runs completely flawlessly and seamlessly every day."
"The solution is stable."
"Appium's best feature is that it supports multiple frameworks."
"Obviously because of automation, it reduces manual testing efforts."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to launch applications. Appium has everything that Selenium has. So many good tools support Appium. We can take some Excel sheets and use them to fill out the text box that's in there. We can also take screenshots of failures."
"The most effective aspect is especially when I'm renaming all the scripting factors, basically the containers that I use."
"Very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good."
"I feel that the codeless part, the dynamic value capture part is quite easy in NeoLoad compared to other tools."
"NeoLoad is actually really good, mainly because they have a world-class support service."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to execute parallel requests, unlike JMeter and LoadRunner which can only be run sequentially."
"The stability is okay."
"What I found best in Tricentis NeoLoad is that it's better with scripting and load test execution in the load testing environment compared to its competitors. The tool has a better design, scenarios, and model, which I find helpful. I also found the Result Manager a fascinating part of Tricentis NeoLoad because of the way it collates results and presents reports. The straightforward implementation of Tricentis NeoLoad, including ease of use, is also valuable to my team."
"There aren't other solutions as competitive as Tricentis NeoLoad when it comes to the performance side."
"If it had more facility for configuration it would be a spectacular solution."
"Image recognition could be improved. We have some images in our mobile applications. It should be able to run from the cloud, so we can automate the catcher."
"We haven't been able to fully leverage Appium for multiple reasons. I think number one is just that the tests take a long time to run. We have had some issues around just the results themselves and how predictable they are, but those are not issues with Appium directly."
"Support-wise, it could be better."
"The setup and installation were a problem for us at first."
"The tool needs to add a dependency manager."
"An application developed on the Unity platform, such as a gaming application, objects are moving in that case. Interacting with those elements is still lacking in Appium. Appium doesn't have the internal library to play with the Unity platform. That is a huge lack right now."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you have previous experience with the solution, but it can be complicated for a novice user."
"Support wasn't able to solve a technical issue."
"We would like NeoLoad to be able to support more protocols. Testing can also be a little tricky at times."
"We would like to see the addition of one-to-one integrations with the Tricentis Tosca suite to this product, which would then cover the end-to-end needs of our customers who are looking for a single vendor solution."
"The overall stability of the GUI should be improved. The GUI component is not stable enough. We have observed crashes several times."
"I would like to see support for auto-correlations."
"While importing the scripts from backup it should not create the new variables because it has created some issues for us."
"LoadRunner offers a full protocol, whereas, with this product, only a few of the protocols are supported - not all."
"I didn't like much of the support that you get from the Tricentis group unless it was after it integrated with Tricentis; the support is not that good."
