Supports web and mobile applications, very scalable, very stable, and wonderful support

There are some features that Micro Focus LoadRunner provides, but they are not available in IBM Rational Performance Tester. They should include such features. It can also have more reports similar to what HP provides. It might also need some improvement in terms of the tools and support for other technology areas. Certain technologies are not supported by every tool. They need to support all sorts of technologies and platforms on which web applications and mobile applications are built. They need complete support for all sorts of technologies.

Comprehensive, good value for money, and a lot of time savings

I discovered a lot of bugs in UiPath Test Suite. If I publish a test case in Test Manager as well as in Orchestrator, the existing test case does not get replaced. It is appending the test case but not replacing it. We want to replace the existing test case, but this functionality is not available. In Test Manager, there are a lot of defects in the ROI report that we provide to the operations team on a monthly basis. It is not very clear and detailed. There is no detailed explanation of every test case. There is only a high-level overview. We cannot download the report from Test Manager. We have to use some other tool, such as Power BI, to view the data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is very good. I'm very satisfied with the assistance we've received so far."

"It can support both web applications and mobile applications, and in certain cases, it can also support testing of desktop applications or software-based applications. You can write web applications, mobile applications, and software-based applications."

"Being able to use regular expressions, activities, and attributes is valuable."

"It's useful for automating tasks."

"We could use it for Oracle and SAP and it did help significantly."

"It is a very scalable product."

"Test Suite has multiple tools that are fully integrated. It has everything you need to record your test cases, generate your documentation, and integrate synthetic data with your Orchestrator. I like the integrated aspect of it. The biggest advantage of UiPath is that it not only tests but also integrates with all the other services to offer a complete package."

"UiPath's tools are generally designed for business users, so they can be as simple or as complex as needed."

"We are finding bugs and defects much faster."

"What I like most about UiPath Test Suite is that it's straightforward, and any user who knows how to use the UiPath Studio can learn how to create a test script in as fast as thirty minutes. There's nothing new you must learn to use UiPath Test Suite because it only has three sections: Given, Then, and When."

Cons

"There are some features that Micro Focus LoadRunner provides, but they are not available in IBM Rational Performance Tester. They should include such features. It can also have more reports similar to what HP provides. It might also need some improvement in terms of the tools and support for other technology areas. Certain technologies are not supported by every tool. They need to support all sorts of technologies and platforms on which web applications and mobile applications are built. They need complete support for all sorts of technologies."

"The solution is not easily scalable. If you want to extend the solution, you need to purchase a different kind of license. You also have to work with the IBM team to assist in scaling."

"We have output arguments in the workflow. We can check results only by using those arguments. It would be better to have some more options, such as screen variables. For example, in a workflow, if we want to check if an activity is present inside, we should be able to get the output to UiPath Test Suite through the activity itself. That would be great for testing."

"UiPath’s Test Suite manual testing doesn’t work for our organization based on how the QA Analysts do their manual testing and the artifacts that are needed for deployment."

"It would be very beneficial to do load testing with Test Suite."

"There is room for improvement in terms of introducing framework compatibility."

"Accessing the full functionality of the Test Suite manager, including the dashboard, requires a tenant license."

"Orchestrator is not easy to use or understand."

"We are able to automate most tasks by using UiPath. Its interface is fine. However, its price is a bit high."

"The speed could be improved. I've noticed that adding more users impacts the speed, although nothing stops entirely."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is much cheaper than Micro Focus LoadRunner. We need perpetual licenses. Support is included in the first sale. After that, you need to renew support every year."

"I wasn't involved in the negotiations for the UiPath Test Suite, so I have no information on its pricing."

"I consider it expensive. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing. It's priced per license on an annual basis. Our customers usually pay around 30K to 35K for five licenses, which is priced per year."

"I don't necessarily have a problem with the pricing of the UiPath Test Suite, especially because we're using the testing bot licenses as opposed to the unattended licensing."

"The cost of a UiPath Test Suite license for five users is over $10,000 USD."

"It represents good value for the investment."

"One robot license costs 1,500 euros."

"Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."

"Its price is a bit high."
