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…
Yasser_Anter - PeerSpot reviewer
Has customization and integration capabilities which increase efficiency
Salesforce could improve by offering AI features or functionalities to help business decision-makers analyze business history, suggest forward strategies, and participate in events. The previous version had a complicated interface where multiple pages and data entries were required, which was not pleasant for sales teams or business users. Also, deploying Salesforce took a long time, about four to five months, which is not ideal for any business.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"Salesforce Platform has helped streamline our sales operations, which has essentially increased the effectiveness of our sales operations."
"When compared to Siebel, the Salesforce Platform is easier to use."
"What functions we don't get out of Salesforce, we typically receive from third-party applications that extend the capabilities. We integrate a lot of different products with Salesforce."
"It's an easy platform for salespeople to quickly and efficiently be able to track an opportunity."
"It has definitely improved how we function."
"The activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well."
 

Cons

"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"I do not like the number of clicks required to get information. The UI is not very intuitive or innovative."
"Salesforce Platform has a cumbersome interface when creating reports, dashboards, and those types of things. They could be a little bit more simple. The administration has to be an aficionado to do any sort of administration and maintenance, for example, setting up the way you want to modify the lead tracks or functions. These systems tend to be quite cumbersome."
"When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing."
"Salesforce's constant rebranding and name changes can be confusing for both customers and partners."
"It does need very specific resources to help deploy it and buy in from the users. It's one of those items it's pretty disruptive and if it's not deployed properly and if it doesn't get utilized efficiently, it won't be effective."
"When it switched to lightning, it threw me for a loop. When they changed the look and feel, I had a hard time finding things and doing what I used to do."
"There is a considerable effort required to load the data, involving processes like XML connections."
"Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave."
