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…

Allows for seamless integration and sharing of common features
The initial setup is straightforward. There are limited access. If you choose not to use scripts, you can still configure the majority of the settings on the platform. The technical aspect of implementing changes is governed by change management processes. Even simple features require careful consideration of communication, documentation, and governance. Despite the setup being relatively straightforward and typically taking one to two weeks to complete once the desired outcome is identified, the implementation phase can often extend for a month or two due to various factors. I rate the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"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 data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"The solution is stable."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"The solution is in Gartner's Magic Quadrant."
"The solution has more products than being an ITSM tool. Big customers such as those from Telcom tend to like it. Some of our customers use AI-based chatbots."
"The primary feature we find valuable is data management."
"The solution provides a single platform for multiple systems and software to operate from. We have found the solution to be stable The initial setup and deployment of the solution was very easy. The technical support team are very helpful, we contact them whenever we are unable to fix an issue."
"The solution is very comprehensive."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"ServiceNow is highly scalable from a customization point of view, allowing for the building of portals, adding and configuring widgets, and designing workflows as preferred."
"It can integrate anywhere, and you can make any kind of workflow."
 

Cons

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"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."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"What I didn't like in the ServiceNow Now Platform is testing, particularly with Visual Studio. It had a bad integration with Visual Studio because you can't compile and run it from there. You have to debug on your own and then find out where the error is through test scripts. The testing component in the ServiceNow Now Platform isn't that great. What I'd like to see in the next version of the ServiceNow Now Platform is an improvement in testing and writing scripts, and if there was a feature to just run it from the modules, then that would be great, instead of finding the error manually and checking where it is."
"If AI were better integrated into ServiceNow, it would lower the RPA costs and make the platform more accessible."
"I feel that the solution's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings, where improvements are required."
"The product's UI is ugly, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The Robotic Process Automation features are not mature enough. ServiceNow could work toward that because we can leverage RP only from this platform."
"ServiceNow Now Platform's technical support needs to improve."
"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions. Suppose that you go with some subscriptions such as IDSM or any type of package like it, then the license cost will be impacted accordingly. Similarly, the cost is also adjusted based on your headcount of how many users will be using it."
"The user interface could be modernized and made more attractive for users."

"The solution is expensive."
