Test Manager at Happiest Minds Technologies

Centralized cloud testing has improved global load generation and real-time performance insights

The most valuable features I have found in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) are that everything is online and centralized, so I do not need to go anywhere to check the configuration and everything. OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud)'s advanced analytics help identify performance bottlenecks because whenever we are executing the test scripts, it shows a good analytics view where we can simply check which APIs are not performing well. The cloud-based load generators in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) have benefited my testing setup because we can generate the load across the globe, which was previously a little bit difficult on the on-premises version. The user interface in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) is intuitive and this will be easy to communicate and collaborate amongst the team also because sharing the online URL with the team, they can simply check the analysis and everything.

Experienced ease in automation with strong support while seeking improvements in low-code options

OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web offers flexibility of deployment, from on-premises to UFT One which is on the cloud. They provide capability for immediate deployment, and assets can be migrated easily. They include enablers specifically for quick migration of test assets. While I have not personally been involved in these migrations, I have observed some clients using it directly while others make a complete shift from OpenText to Tricentis platforms. There have not been many clients moving from OpenText platforms from on-premises to cloud because most shifts have been toward different product categories such as Tricentis altogether.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them."

"The reason we chose it and the most valuable feature is the amount of virtual users we can run in a test; we have run up to 900,000 users."

"The TruClient feature is the most valuable for us. An application with testing can only be scripted using TruClient, so it's part web-based, but it also has its own protocol combined with HTTP and HTML. So many other tools do not recognize this specific proprietary protocol. Using TruClient, we can still create scripts that cover everything that we need to cover."

"The reports are very relevant to the customers’ expectations."

"The fact that you don't have to worry about the infrastructure setup and that thousands of virtual users can log on to the cloud without having to set up provides a powerful, easy solution for new or existing customers."

"StormRunner does the job in a very simple and cost effective way."

"It's a fast product, so you don't have much trouble in terms of maintenance overhead. You don't want to just look into configuring load generators, look for upgrades, and end up having that take up a lot of your time. With this solution, you just log in and you start using it. This means that there is a huge benefit in terms of the overhead of maintaining the infrastructure and the maintenance effort."

"HP StormRunner Load has provided us flexibility for on demand load generation, reduced overall TCO on our load testing efforts, and reduced the skill level to develop load test scripts."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) pros

"The ideas and possibilities that this tool has are incredibly useful."

"ROI is definitely present with OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web; these are very capable tools, and there is no reason ROI should be a challenge."

"The ease of use and being able to enroll more people into developing test scripts using their AI function, which they call AI but is OCR recognition, is significant."

"This helped my prior organization immensely due to the ability to remotely manipulate devices, even by offshore vendors."

"The product is easy to use."

"The pricing is great."

"The main benefit is that you can get a very quick idea regarding the performance of your application, and it also helps you discover hidden pain points that you would not have found without using this tool."

"We evaluated other mobile testing solutions and found this to be superior to all of them."

Cons

"Out of the box reporting could be improved."

"An area for improvement is analytics on why response times are slow from certain countries."

"Its scripting features need improvement."

"Regarding improvements in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud), the initial configuration where we have to set up orchestration is something that could be improved."

"We are trying to put it into a complete CI/CD pipeline, but there are still some challenges when you try to run it through different protocols. The challenges are around how you can containerize applications. There are some limitations to some protocols, such as desktop. And when it comes to database testing, there are some things that we can't do through CI/CD."

"It should have a feature to report with a 99.9 percentile success rate."

"StormRunner is very rudimentary at this time, but it's a great concept."

"CI/CD integration could be a little bit better. When there's a test and if you see that there are high response times in the test itself, it would be great to be able to send an alert. It would give a heads-up to the architect community or ops community."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) cons

"For the most part, the key challenge is ensuring that customers fully utilize the product as intended and adopt the appropriate frameworks to implement the solutions effectively."

"It's complex, and you need more skills than in most implementations."

"Because of connection errors, we've haven't yet been able to set it up properly at my company."

"Deployment was an issue. Each time we set it up and deployed, it failed and we had to relaunch it again."

"I would like to see more integration with automation tools."

"I think the interface is not very good and I have used other solutions that are easier to learn."

"Sometimes, it's challenging to have relations with OpenText support."

"I think the biggest issues that I've seen, and this is a personal view of mine, is that most of the HPE products have a common look and feel to them."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive compared to other tools."

"The pricing is very reasonable and the licensing is straightforward."

"LoadRunner always had expensive pricing. At my company, we used to evaluate LoadRunner, but we stuck with Silk Performer because its pricing was always better in the past. I do feel that I got a fair deal this time. Our value-added reseller and our sales guy worked hard to give us a fair deal. I feel that we got a fair deal. We did not go for the pay-as-you-go deal. I did an upfront package. I prefer that. I want to know what my costs are."

"Pricing is dependent on what you're referring to. If you're talking about the cloud, it's likely competitive. However, if you're talking about the on-premise version, professional or enterprise licenses are required. Prices are on the high side. They are not cheap."

"The solution’s price is considerably high."

"It's a very expensive solution"

"It is neither costly nor cheap. It is not too high and not too low. I know the price of other tools, and LoadRunner Cloud's price is in the medium range."

"The pricing for OpenText LoadRunner Cloud is average."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) pricing and cost advice

"The product could be more affordable."

"While the pricing may seem relatively high, when compared to competitors, it often falls in line or can even be more cost-effective."

"OpenText UFT Digital Lab's pricing is average, and I rate it a five out of ten."
