Test Associate & Manager at IGT Solutions

A low-code and no-code tool for automation purposes that is very user-friendly

AutonomIQ TestIQ is only available on mobile devices and on the web. I wish to see AutonomIQ TestIQ in a different area, like game automation or game testing. There is no tool or support offered in the market for game testing. The automatic automation should help capture videos, logs, audio, and other steps with which the user plays that particular game if I want to automate any graphical game with the help of a low-code and no-code tool, like AutonomIQ TestIQ. The ability to capture and record with the help of automation is not there in AutonomIQ TestIQ. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement.

Quality Specialist 2A at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Has reduced manual testing effort with customization options but occasionally crashes during complex executions

One improvement would be to integrate it with modern technologies such as AI, so we can generate test cases by providing the details so that it can generate the structure, and later the person working can modify and enhance it. We can add more customized tools, and reporting can be enhanced. Currently, the reporting part is at a step level, and it does not give details for a particular test case, so improvements in those areas would be beneficial. There are performance issues where the tool crashes sometimes. In particular use cases with numerous steps, it experiences crashes. I have encountered stability and performance issues with it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"UI is one of the best features of AutonomIQ TestIQ."

"The solution is scalable."

"One of the most valuable features I found in Parasoft SOAtest is its ability to extend the product."

"We have seen a return on investment."

"We can now test as early as possible, so we are achieving better control over our components."

"If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest."

"The best feature of Parasoft SOAtest is the extension tool where we can write our custom scripts, integrate with different languages, and customize as per our needs, which helps in a very positive way where things are not available beforehand; we can test with service virtualization."

"As an expert user, you can accomplish a lot with this tool."

"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."

Cons

"The ability to capture and record with the help of automation is not there in AutonomIQ TestIQ."

"Sadly, almost everything needs improving."

"Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."

"There are performance issues where the tool crashes sometimes. In particular use cases with numerous steps, it experiences crashes."

"Work file [tst] gradually increases in size due to saving or updates of workspace. I can see a major improvement in that."

"We have good support of our solution architect of Parasoft, but sometimes they don’t know all the answers and then it’s harder to find more knowledge in technical support from US teams, which slows things down."

"Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."

"In terms of improvements for Parasoft SOAtest, some features could be added or perhaps existing areas could be improved, such as lowering prices."

"Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"From what I understand, Parasoft SOAtest isn't the cheapest option. But it has a lot to offer."

"I think it would be a great step to decrease the price of the licenses."

"The cost of Parasoft seems to have gotten higher with a projection that wasn't really stipulated for our company. They've done a tremendous job at negotiating those deals."

"We are completed satisfied with Parasoft SOAtest. The ROI is more than 95%."

"They do have a confusing licensing structure."

"The price is around $5,000 USD."

"The license price is a little expensive, but it provides a better outcome in terms of the end-to-end automation process."

"It is an expensive product, so think carefully about whether it fits your purposes and is the right tool for you."
