Lead Systems Tester at Government of Ontario, Canada
Reliable test automation, and test data creation with efficient support
The solution can be improved by removing the need for object matching in the framework. The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run. The reason is that changes were made to how it works with the browser and the startup takes some time. Adjusting those changes to speed up the load time will improve the solution.
Muddisetty Arun Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
WorkSoft Certified Automation Engineer at Qualesce
Automation has delivered strong ROI with AI-driven test prioritization and parallel reporting
The best feature of Worksoft Certify is the automatic report generation. Unlike traditional tools like Selenium or Java-based frameworks where reporting often requires custom coding, Certify handles this natively. We are currently utilizing the 14.5 version, which has modernized these capabilities, though we frequently manage backward compatibility for clients still running on the 12.x version series.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."
"Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"As it is built on Ellipse/Java and costs less than other tools, it is recommended."
"It helps in automation by using better object recognition as compared to other tools in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester, which analyzes the changes in UI elements and allows me to automatically adapt and change my automation testing."
"It is 100% compatible with all sorts of database integrations and is compatible with all types of open source TFT-based applications, which makes it a great product to have."
"The technical support is good; at least their response time is good, and whenever we ask them for help regarding deployment customizations, custom code implementation, or other code needs, they heavily support us, assign us IT engineers who work alongside us helping with code-related issues, and stay until the problem is resolved."
"Since they updated the Capture feature to a more "Snagit" look and feel, it has become our primary tool."
"Automation, although it takes a higher initial cost, saves time with Worksoft Certify."
"The most valuable feature is its time saving, because once development is complete, the short time that it takes to execute a test is invaluable and saves a number of dollars and man-hours."
"The Capture 2.0 feature is good. Our clients like using it. It does not take long to create documentation."
"Automation is now part of our strategy."
"We are using it so far for regression testing, and we have reduced 5% to 10% of regression related issues, which is a huge impact on our organization."
"I can definitely recommend it to other users."
"If we write a new test that's 80 percent the same as an existing test, it is pretty straightforward to reuse the steps from existing tests for our new tests and build upon them."
 

Cons

"If in the future there is no support for mobile applications, then we will be using it less."
"With version 8.5 we faced workspace crash issues frequently."
"The object repository used for identifying objects can be made better. It has been noticed that the RFT tool is unable to identify some objects, due to which we are unable to add them to the object repository."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"If you look at today's current context, I wouldn't recommend RFT because there are far more advanced solutions and products available."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where certain improvements are required."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I would suggest simplifying the input criteria when working on tables, as creating child record sets can become confusing."
"Although I don't think it would be easy, being able to edit and change an action and logic flow in mid-test execution would be nice."
"It is very easy to use, but there are some places where they need to improve their security. E.g., the BPP tool is just a URL, which does not ask you for a username and password. Anyone can login and can see it."
"I would like to see the impact analysis integrated with the performance testing tool. We have multiple tools doing multiple items. I would like to have one common tool."
"Worksoft Certify does not help minimize or shorten the regression cycle."
"I have seen lagging, crashing, or downtime; sometimes it results in a frozen screen and crashing, and I need to close the application and relaunch it again."
"They need to keep working on the mobile interface, the API part, and they need to improve more on web applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is good but the prices for the products are expensive. A single-user license may go for something like $10,000 to $30,000. There are no additional costs, and support is included within that price."
"By using automation, it reduced about 75 percent of the time when compared to any other tool."
"Worksoft Certify is slightly more expensive compared to other automation tools that are available on the market. However, the majority of the clients who are utilizing this solution, don't care much about the price. The main aspect the clients look for is its stability and reliability on the automation and whether they are able to rely on the automation scripts."
"On our last big SAP implementation project, we inserted an automation resource into the beginning of the project. Between automating regression processes, data staging, and using our automation to help repair cutover and conversion issues. We saved the project about $1,700,000."
"Worksoft Certify is priced higher than most tools."
"We save probably 50 percent of our time. The tool does what it's supposed to do, and we are able to actually work."
"This solution has enabled our clients to automate and save time (approximately 40 to 50 percent)."
"We have seen ROI by being able to free up and give time back to the business for other value-added work."
"If we do one manual process, it could take approximately two hours. The same process using Worksoft probably takes ten minutes."
