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…
Nikhil Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility
I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.

Pros

"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 best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The solution is stable."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"The most valuable feature is that this is a Cloud solution."
"I have found the workflows and integration the most valuable in this solution."
"Being able to have the required information for project management is valuable. I've got multiple people accessing it, and I'm tracking tasks with percentages done. It allows me to have detailed notes and provides the ability to attach documents. I have used a lot of project management solutions, and there were gaps in terms of what was available. ServiceNow has got all the features and functionalities. It is a solid solution. It is also easy to get into and use. It is certainly highly scalable."
"It is user-friendly and simple to use."
"We consider the integration capabilities of the solution with other tools to be a valuable feature."
"The analytics - we like to keep track of how much work everyone is doing."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to make queries, flexible to configure, integrates well, and supports all of our companies needs."
"It has an excellent capability to integrate different access points."
 

Cons

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"I would like the reporting aspect to be better, including the graphs. It could have some way for us to easily to export to a csv or spreadsheet so that if a graph cannot be provided by ServiceNow itself, we would be able to use other applications to create them. Also, if there was a feature that enabled us to interact with end users directly from ServiceNow, like an instant-messaging type of feature, that would be great."
"There's always a room for improvement in terms of the ServiceNow UI. For customers, the UI is something that is a continuous improvement."
"The setup was time-consuming and required a lot of internal resources."
"ServiceNow doesn't cater to the Middle Eastern market."
"When we are using the solution on mobile phones on their networks the performance is reduced with a delay of approximately 8 seconds. There is less delay using the desktop computers connected to the WiFi or to the network directly."
"When it comes to changing some of the features, I would like a little more leeway."
"I do not like the user interface."
"Most people are discussing UIs, but I'm a developer. I would say 80-90% of the people would appreciate that, that's easy for them, but from a developer perspective, it's hard for me, because for me it's clunky"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is expensive."
"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."
"I know that it's not too bad because people continue to use it and they are happy to renew up their contract."
