Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the features that I like is Object Recognition. It worked very well, and it allowed me to create a dynamic expert based on my requirements."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"Our clients have requested by all types of testing, including mobile, desktop, and API testing and all of those are covered by Katalon. I find that very valuable, very complete."
"It has been good so far for API testing on Mac. It is not that hard to learn and use. There is so much support out there, so if anyone wants to start using it, there is enough help."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"It works very fine. It is fast on almost any machine, and it is also very well organized. I like its object mapping and its capability to find and interact with almost everything that exists on Windows."
"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"One improvement would be if it could support more programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Right now, it is only on Groovy, which I think is not a too popular language."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"The licensing costs are a little bit high and should be reduced."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
