Facilitates integration of test scenarios while needing modernization of components
CucumberStudio is primarily used for designing test scenarios and automating testing. We have implemented it in conjunction with our own routines for integration into our infrastructure CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing. It supports our product owners in designing…

Helps us efficiently streamline repetitive tasks, but they could provide improved connectors to integrate with outside platforms
The OutSystems' most effective features for speeding up development cycles are the process orchestration and the drag-and-drop updating of business processes. I would recommend it to a friend or colleague, especially if they are looking for a solution that is easy to deploy and helps streamline internal processes. I rate it a six out of ten.

Cons

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"It's difficult to do the component version control. I would like them to add more studying materials."

"Mobile apps should have been fully native."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"The initial setup of OutSystems is not easy. It is a very heavy application that requires a lot of hardware and software resources."
"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
