Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"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."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"One good feature is SoapUI's URL check, which allows you to check among the applications. I'm not just talking about the ones for Android. It has all kinds of multi-world tests that are really helpful."
"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours."
"It provides zero maintenance browser instances."
"APPIUM for mobile testing has improved our organization by allowing us to test our website on more devices and browsers than we currently possess."
"It has significantly enhanced our testing accuracy by approximately 50%."
"It runs on the cloud, so you don't have physical setups to run all of this."
"They offer a large number of devices and browser/operating system combinations for real device tests"
"One of the most valuable features is that we do not have to have the cross-platform testing vehicles in-house. Sauce Labs gives us the ability to test across platforms and that really helps give us confidence in our products."
"It has a wide assortment of platforms."
"Testing my app on cloud has really helped us with save time and resources to procure various hardware and software, and set those up."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"I would like more documentation, training, tutorials, etc. Also, I don't particularly appreciate that I have to save everything. It takes up a lot of space on my laptop, but I have to install the WSDL again If I don't save it."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."
"The current interface is unsatisfactory."
"The UI should be improved."
"ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution."
"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts."
"Sometimes pasting text while using "text object" does not seem to work, and it slows down testing times quite a bit."
"The one issue I have is the 14-day trial that a new user gets for free. I understand the concept of the trial period; however, I think this could be revamped to a free 30-minute run time every few months or after a significant update once the trial period has ended."
"An image comparison would be a nice feature to include in the Sauce Labs product."
"It should provide more examples of script code."
"Latency, due to Sauce Labs being a cloud-based solution, has been a concern. We work in different continents and countries, but last time I checked, Sauce Labs was only offering two data centers, one in the EU and another in the US. If you're not in either of those two places, you would have latency and issues running your test cases."
"They could improve the platform's customer support services."
"There have been various times throughout the last month or so where the service has gone down during business hours."
"Integration with Github, as well as several other similar tools, could be improved."
