Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution is very helpful to me. I use it to execute my use cases without a manual interface.""The solution is quite stable with SAP. It's nice. I use it extensively."

More OpenText Business Processing Testing Pros →

"The tool itself is highly effective, especially when it comes to comprehensibility for newcomers.""The most valuable feature is its time saving. Once development is complete, the short time that it takes to execute a test is invaluable. It saves a number of dollars and man-hours.""One of the bigger value-adds that we had was extracting data from our warning systems to be inputted into our new learning system.""Certify's web UI testing abilities for testing of modern applications like SAP Fiori was good when we started and they developed it to be even better. We all know that web applications can change objects in DOM quite fast and it breaks tests. To counter it Certify has made object recognition more flexible and generic, so we don't have any troubles.""The scripting methodology is easy to learn. It is easy to maintain because it is presented in a simple, narrative way. You don't need to know programming." "It has reduced our test maintenance time by more than 50 percent because we don't have to do manual test processes. We have saved over 150 man-hours monthly. It has increased our delivery times. We went from 200 man-hours down (three weeks work time frame) to approximately 40 man-hours (three days work time frame).""It is very user-friendly with an appealing UI, unlike a lot of other automation tools that we have evaluated. The fact that it can be used to across SAP and non-SAP applications (including web-based apps) is a big advantage. Using Certify Process Capture functionality has helped in hassle free test design creation, without the need to spend any extra effort to capture test steps and screenshots. The integration elements across HPE ALM and Solution Manager also work well.""What I like about Worksoft Certify is that end-to-end testing becomes faster.""Provides all the in-built functionalities and is a wonderful tool."

Cons
"There's only one thing that I think needs improvement. When I started off using this solution, I used the Google search engine to learn how to use the tool. I would also check with my colleagues who have a lot of knowledge about it. Selenium has fields of information available. If you click on that field there will be an explanation about how to use the tool. It will be very easier to understand it if Micro Focus included this feature. It is easy to find with the search button, but it would be a great help to the users who are new to this tool.""The solution shouldn't be so tightly integrated with the ALM tool that they have. It should have its own base rather than the repository."

More OpenText Business Processing Testing Cons →

"The technical support comes on, and says, "Oh, so-and-so link is here, go through that link, and make the modifications." I'm not comfortable in making those changes. I want to schedule a call, share my screen, and have them fix it for me.""The technical support has been good, but sometimes there are little delays. A lot of times when we need support, it's an emergency situation.""We're really hopeful for the mobile testing in Worksoft Certify going forward.""Worksoft Certify needs improvement on customization of reporting and how you report final outcomes.""Certify is integrated with Solution Manager, but this integration could be easier.""One feature that could be added to Capture 2.0 is generating a PDF file from your capture, so you can see your screenshots and steps.""I am aware that they have some challenges with some of their support resources, especially offshore which is very common. I don't think this is specifically a Worksoft issue. It always seems to be a software issue, and I know that Worksoft is aware of this and they are trying to make some improvements.""The problem with Worksoft Certify is that it's not always stable. It runs on a live platform that's constantly changing, so the test script needs to be adjusted every time, which is very painful."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "The tool is not really good at all because you need to purchase some additional tools."
  • "We would purchase more licenses right now if they were cheaper. Pricing is a little bit of a hindrance."
  • "It is expensive compared to some of the other automation tools in the market. However, the benefits and ROI has proved that it has been a good investment."
  • "The initial upfront cost in terms of licenses, plus all the money that we spent developing tests, has proven it's worth. Now, we can do a regression test suite in ten days as opposed to sixteen weeks."
  • "Our ROI is primarily a reduction in testing time. The testing, when we were doing it manually, was 30 to 40 percent of the project's cost."
  • "We ended up buying too many licenses. They were very good at selling it to us, and probably oversold it a little. We bought 45 licenses and have never used more than twenty. However, they gave us a pretty significant discount on the bigger license, so it made sense for us to buy enough that we wouldn't have to go back and ask for more."
  • "We could use Certify to do robotic process automation, which is basically running a process on your correction system instead of your test system. Therefore, we may do that in the future."
  • "By using automation, it reduced about 75 percent of the time when compared to any other tool."

    Overview

    OpenText Business Processing Testing (BPT) test framework software will help you move from one-off manual testing and ad hoc functional automated testing to an architected approach with a library of reusable test components. BPT accelerates the move to component-based testing with an integrated test framework approach to creating a repository of reusable test modules that allow for changes to be made once, then propagated across your distributed agile teams to all affected tests.

    Worksoft Certify is the industry's first codeless automated testing system, created for non-technical people to test end-to-end business processes at an enterprise scale.

    It was designed to test complicated processes spanning numerous apps and integrating into contemporary DevOps tool chains. Worksoft Certify manages dynamic input, process flows, and frequent variances in business processes with ease.

    Worksoft Certify automates the testing of your exact business processes across all of your enterprise applications. This solution makes it simple for customers and suppliers to package a process with all of its related dependencies, sub-processes, record sets, record filters, layouts, and variables.

    Worksoft Certify automates tests as effortlessly and quickly as the underlying applications permit, allowing you to evaluate business processes in record time with flawless dependability and consistency. Worksoft Certify speeds up test automation by utilizing a patented Object Action Framework, which effectively models the application under test as a set of pages containing GUI objects and test steps that perform actions on those objects.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Jens N., Enterprise Architect SAP Solutions at a computer software company, writes, “As compared to other tools for test automation, what is very good in this tool is the ability to implement logic into the scripts without coding and learning a complex script language. It is comparable to defining formulas in Excel. It is pretty easy to learn how to make your scripts more intelligent and more flexible as per the situation.”

    Aditya C., Sr Test Automation Architect at a tech services company, notes, “The most valuable features of Worksoft Certify are the way we can maintain the processes and sub-processes inside. We can immediately identify and replicate multiple objects in the application without having a major issue with it.”
