Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."It has increased the speed of our regression testing."
"At the moment, all our deploys depend on results of automation. If the tests are failing, then we know that something is wrong at the early stages of development."
"The extensive range of products available to simulate is something I have come to appreciate as it has resulted in an ability to broaden the scope of our tests."
"Record and Replay is the most used functionality for us, as we can record the test cases and play them on multiple combinations of platforms."
"SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those."
"The ability to choose from many devices is the best feature."
"Video recording of the script running in a cloud server."
"When developing new pages that have questionable functionality or coding, we will often use CBT to test it in a browser. CBT works with our testing environment and development site."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"The product has many features."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool. It covers all necessary items in the test plan. The most painful item in testing is maintenance. When changes occur, the tests should be maintained."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."
"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."
"A problem that we are facing quite often is related to the network connection. Tests can fail if the remote CrossBrowserTesting's VM has connection problems. This happens mostly with browsers of Internet Explorer family which work on Windows OS."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."
"The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain."
"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."
"The screenshot tool defaults to a screen layout instead of a full page test. I find it a bit cumbersome that I can't have it run a full screenshot as my default."
"The licensing costs are a little bit high and should be reduced."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"The test object repository needs to be improved. The hierarchy and the way we identify the objects in different applications, irrespective of technology, needs adjustments. The located and test objects are not as flexible compared to other commercial tools."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
