The tool needs to improve in the areas of security, though it is a versatile product

Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability. I spoke with Inflectra's executive account rep on the need to expand the tool's ability. The problem with Inflectra Rapise is that a lot of companies are still using SAP GUI. Inflectra has no intention of building Rapise in a way that allows it to interact with SAP GUI. Inflectra Rapise has very limited value for the companies I work with because they they still use SAP GUI since their top priority is SAP testing, and they want to get into automation, for which they need a tool that cannot only used to automate processes, but can also do end-to-end testing where you are not only using SAP GUI, but you are using the interface with old legacy systems that are still in use or with today's more modern technologies. In the future, the tool needs to increase its versatility. If I am at a company that uses 23 different technologies, like .NET Visual Basic, Oracle, SQL, or whatever, Inflectra Rapise needs to be made as a product that is an out-of-the-box usable tool for any technology.

Robust automation with reusable steps and seamless integration

The concept of reusable steps in Zeenyx AscentialTest has significantly enhanced our test automation efficiency. Encapsulating common actions into modular steps reduces redundancy in test scripts and ensures consistency across scenarios. This approach streamlines maintenance efforts, allowing updates to be applied universally, making our test suite more agile and adaptable to evolving project requirements. The concept of reusable steps is a key factor in maximizing reusability and maintainability in our test automation strategy. AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows. This capability ensures precise interaction with various components of an application's interface, further enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of our automated tests.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We saved thousands of dollars because the Rapise implementation gave us 30 or more executions for every release compared to three or four, so huge savings on manual testing effort plus easy detection of defects is very cost effective."

"Rapise is a good automation tool that's easy to use and learn, and you can share scripts as a team, which is very helpful."

"It's pretty straightforward to set up."

"It's incredible but the support and maintenance of Inflectra Rapise's scripts is less than 30% of the effort that was involved in maintaining Selenium, it is very easy and this is the reason that we are switching everything that needs handling from Selenium to Inflectra Rapise, as it is easy to maintain and provides a benefit in cost and efforts with a 90% reduction factor in the maintenance of the scripts."

"The first time I used Rapise I completed the automation scripts for a full application in a day and I was shocked how easy it was."

"The scripting of this tool is easy and user friendly."

"We always use the product for end-to-end automation test cases."

"The initial setup was straightforward; it wasn't complex at all, and we found it nice and easy."

More Inflectra Rapise pros

"Our web site is dynamically generated to each user, so much so that the only testing solution we found was AscentialTest."

"I am a 30+ year IT professional and the level of support I have gotten has been unparalleled."

"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."

"Great support, powerful tool, easy enough for entry-level staff to use."

"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."

"Zeenyx AscentialTest provides excellent support for PowerBuilder applications, with very powerful and flexible object recognition, a highly visual drag and drop environment for creating application objects from snapshots, and tests that are easy and quick to manage and maintain."

"Customer Service: Zeenyx team provides a wonderful customer support for any kind of issues we face and they worked along with us and provided solutions as early as possible too."

"Customer service is excellent; very helpful in addressing the issues and never hesitant in accepting the issues from their end; very responsive and quick to provide assistance."

Cons

"Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability."

"It would be good if there could be more integration of Inflectra Rapise, since not all customers use the same tool for test management and automation integration."

"The maintenance is very difficult."

"I faced one problem where it can't validate the colour of images and text. Also, it could not automate the mobile app, and this needs to be included."

"What I have noticed about Rapise is that sometimes when you keep on using the same script, it fails many times."

"The maintenance is very difficult. We've only been using the platform for three months, so I'm not sure if that will continue, but right now it's an observation I've had."

"When there are failures in a nightly run of batches of scripts, it can create a blocking situation where all the following scripts will fail due to unexpected results."

"It has some stability issues where the tool crashes sometimes on Windows 10."

"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."

"Limitations are found to be primarily in the ux of the tool; for example when in doubt one often right clicks in an unfamiliar product to get unstuck, and AscentialTest lacks some of these fineries."

"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."

"It would be better if the support for Web Tables and Siebel Tables are readily available and made more simpler as they are encountered quite often while automating the apps."

"We did observe that aborting the test run of a test set in the middle of execution was taking a long time."

"The product can be improved a little bit with regards to the UI as the panels are too many."

"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."

"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."

More Zeenyx AscentialTest cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where ten means very good pricing."

"We pay no more than $50 annually for support of each one of the licenses."

"Once it starts generating ROI, which for us took between three and six months, one will not even think about the investment."
