- Brought a good environment of test automation
- Allowed a significant increase in Continuous Integration
- Great User Interface and ease of checking all your artifacts of Testing.
- Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application.
- Script-less, so less maintenance headache for non-technical users also.
- Drag and drop functionality to create and re-use your Test Cases
- Excellent re-use of Excel functionality for formulas and functions.
- Conditions which let the test case branch off from the Template. Helps work out different scenarios for data.
- Has been tried out on SAP, Oracle Apps, and IBM COGNOS BI applications. With a few tweaks works well with these applications.
- IF and LOOP statements introduced with the latest version.
- Improved performance of Web-Based Tests. WHILE LOOP and IF made better and more responsive with added error recovery options.
- Intuitive based options available, along with a rudimentary record and play functionality.
- Next version will even have the visualization tools required to see the interconnections between the TCD and the Test Cases, along with the workflow in the TCD and Tests.
- New and improved visualization for multiple browsers and a totally new Wizard with TBox out of Box support has been added to the (v9.2) of TOSCA Commander.
- Access to Business Intelligence (BI) features of comparing a DB to another one, also have been added as plugins.
- Access to an Analytical Engine to view and get reports from the Test Runs.
- Version 13 has also brought in BI testing and improvements on SAP Test scenarios
- Upgrades to the newer version if extra Add-ins are installed sometimes causes weird issues.
- Needs a UI to be open and present when running the tests. Cannot visit the DOM like in Selenium.
- Needs a UI to visualize the test case development.
I have used it for the past nine years.
None seen as such, except it has a reliance on the Network for Licenses. If the network is lost, then the license will expire and crash/close the application.
The scalability depends on the Licensing model you take up.
Customer Service:
Excellent almost 16x5 service with issue resolution within a given 24-hour time frame.
Technical Support:
- Great Customer Support, technical from the first step.
I have been using HP QTP and Selenium for Test Automation. Switch was mainly due to Team constraints and management wanting to try a new tool which is easier for the Business Analysts also to collaborate with.
Setup is simple but requires learning of the tool and how it does things before you can optimally use it.
We had an in-house implementation.
We have seen an exceptionally good ROI, as we reduced the number of Tests from 4000 to around 89 scenario's which can be run in an automated manner with additional data (so in actuality we have around 1.4M tests, which can theoretically be run without human intervention). We have a full-stack CI pipeline for running these along with JIRA (requirement gathering and test results per Story), to the final TeamCity run for each check-in to the Dev branch.
Pricing is steep if you go for the premium model. My advice would be to buy a mix of licenses, depending on the need. The Tricentis Sales are rather good at helping you with this, once you give the intent to buy. They are not just shoving you the highest premium toy/license.
Take the online training on Udemy before you confirm the intent to buy it.
We are a service provider, so we utilize UiPath Test Cloud to deliver the service to our clients. Our use case for UiPath Test Cloud involves mobile testing, specifically for a client's mobile application. We automate whatever users do in the mobile app, and it is used for mobile testing.
The impact of UiPath Test Cloud on our project has been positive. The client already had UiPath licenses for RPA work and some automated processes. By suggesting the use of UiPath Test Cloud, the benefit they received was that they don't need separate licenses.
UiPath Test Cloud definitely helps free up time for other projects for our engineers. It can reduce time by up to 40%. It allows SMEs to focus on new areas such as enhancements.
UiPath Test Cloud has definitely helped reduce the total cost of testing for our customers through cost optimization and stable automation.
UiPath Test Cloud supports a wide range of technologies. So far, we have done mobile, web, and some database querying. We have created scripts to search the database and get the data, which fits into UiPath's data services, a dynamic test data library. Instead of hardcoding anything in the script, we refer to the data from the data services, which is inbuilt, so we don't need any external data source such as Excel files or SQL databases.
The most valuable feature of UiPath Test Cloud that I have found is the TestManager dashboard, which integrates with Jira through Planview Tasktop. This allows us to create different suites in TestManager, schedule them, and integrate them with CI/CD.
They can improve the dashboard by adding some widgets for reporting. Also, currently, they don't have defect management modules. If they could add defect management, it could work independently without needing Jira.
I have been working with UiPath Test Cloud for six months now.
I would rate the stability of UiPath Test Cloud as a nine because it is a mature product. It is performing better than two to three years back; significant improvements have been made for complete project delivery.
I would rate the scalability of UiPath Test Cloud as a ten out ten. It has bots that can be scheduled, and all test cases can be run on these bots, allowing automation developers to be separate.
Scaling with UiPath Test Cloud is supported; they have the infrastructure to scale automation to meet business needs.
I would rate the technical support for UiPath Test Cloud as a ten out of ten. When we raise a ticket, they support us within three days. They get into the meeting, understand the problem, and try to provide a solution quickly.
Positive
The initial setup is of medium complexity because multiple components are involved, so setting up and integrating them is a little challenging and requires some support.
I consider it expensive. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing.
It's priced per license on an annual basis. Our customers usually pay around 30K to 35K for five licenses, which is priced per year.
We conducted a small PoC with UiPath Test Cloud, and I have previous experience using it as a test automation tool, which helped. After performing the two-week PoC, we advised the client to go for it.
We have integrated UiPath Test Cloud with Jenkins, but we haven't used anything else for integration so far.
It supports the page object model, allowing the creation of small reusable components that facilitate building test scripts across three applications. I would recommend following the approach of building small modular test cases as workflows and creating the test cases using those small workflows.
UiPath Test Cloud does not have self-healing features, but I see that it is very stable. The approach we followed was creating small reusable components, making maintenance comparatively easy. We have implemented a page object model.
Overall, I would rate UiPath Test Cloud a seven out of ten.
