Pros
"Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time.""IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual.""It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good.""The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."

More IBM Rational Functional Tester Pros →

"The automating smoke and regression tests have become easier and handier and manual efforts are saved.""Testim introduces three services covering validation steps, eliminating the necessity to write complex code.""The product is easy to use.""The REST API features allowed integrated testing for select products to quickly make calls and test the UIs with API calls while the CLI allows us to matrix the grid function across browsers.""It is a highly stable solution.""We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests.""The pre-defined tests are a great help, specifically the custom JS test that allows us to be able to use custom code to test complicated elements or scenarios.""The tool's most valuable feature is the recently added AI feature."

Cons
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run.""As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support.""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."

More IBM Rational Functional Tester Cons →

"I get a little bit confused while creating new branches.""The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved.""There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements.""The product's areas of improvement include pricing considerations and additional features related to visual testing and PDF handling.""Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests.""There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it.""The accessibility reporting features could be more robust to be reported at the script level and allow users to map down to the step level.""The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."
