QE Manager at Capgemini

Feature-rich stable tool with multiple options to control output, good integration with other tools, and knowledgeable support team

The core functionality of the tool is automated test generation of optimized test suite; the tool has extensive list of options for the same. The product's integration with other tools sets it apart. It has integrations with many upstream (for requirements mapping) and downstream (export of test cases to various tools) products. It is like "plug-and-play". For any customized downstream tool, like our proprietary automation framework, support is provided for custom development. It is has features - Business AD - to use in Agile implementations. The latest version seems to have support for BDD/Gherkin as well, which we have not used much.

Reporting efficacy and collaboration improve despite outdated features

I do this for my own benefit, and it has nothing to do with any company views. I work as a permanent employee for a government department. OpenText Silk Central is coming to the end of its support, so we will have to move to something else, but I do not know what the other solution will be. Automation is quite immature at our place. It has only really started, so there is no integration with OpenText Silk Central. I would give it a rating of 7 out of 10; it could be 7.5. It just lacks certain features that would make it a higher grade if it had more modern features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Though optimized and automated test generation is the core functionality, the product's integration with other tools sets it apart."

"The tool has the ability to integrate with various requirement management, test management, and version control tools."

"The reporting is probably the most valuable feature."

"The stability of this solution is very good. In our experience it is approximately ninety-nine percent."

Cons

"It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system."

"I would like to see the output data optionally used as input for the model, as further action in the flow."

"Even though the 4.1 version is a far-improved version from its earlier avatars, the performance of test generation is still an issue on real-time models we have."

"We would also like to manage the integration testing end-to-end."

"It can be a bit slow sometimes, and it has not got some of the modern features many of the other competitors have."

Pricing and Cost Advice
