Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 6, 2025

Oracle Application Testing Suite and OpenText LoadRunner Cloud compete in the software testing category. OpenText LoadRunner Cloud appears to have the upper hand due to its extensive protocol support and cloud scalability.

Features: OpenText LoadRunner Cloud offers scalability, integrates with various monitoring tools, and supports multiple protocols, making it suited for enterprise needs. Oracle Application Testing Suite provides strong integration with Oracle products and offers comprehensive functional, automation, and performance testing solutions within the Oracle environment.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Application Testing Suite needs enhancements in object identification, browser compatibility, and support for non-Oracle systems. OpenText LoadRunner Cloud could improve its custom reporting and support for older LoadRunner scripts. Enhancements in real-time reporting and monitoring would be beneficial for OpenText users.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Application Testing Suite is often deployed on-premises, requiring careful setup due to complex integrations. Customer service is generally responsive, but experiences vary. OpenText LoadRunner Cloud, as a SaaS solution, eases deployment and infrastructure demands. It offers solid support yet could improve its self-service documentation.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle Application Testing Suite is competitively priced within the Oracle ecosystem, with flexible licensing options. LoadRunner Cloud may be more costly but validates this with versatile deployment and protocol support. Both aim to offer good ROI, with LoadRunner Cloud's model potentially appearing costlier without proper planning.

Cloud-based testing accommodates high user scenarios while anticipating location improvement

OpenText LoadRunner Cloud can scale in a cloud-based environment to support up to ten thousand concurrent users without capacity loss, which is not possible with on-premise solutions on personal machines. This scalability and network bandwidth capability are essential for high-scale load testing. Additionally, it allows me to upload common LoadRunner scripts to the cloud for testing without requiring a license for scripting tools, offering a flexible and comfortable high-scale load testing solution.

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy

Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of LoadRunner's standout features is its extensive support for various TechStacks and protocols."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to configure browser settings for different operating systems and on different versions without the need to install every single version on each machine and to manage them."

"I would rate OpenText LoadRunner Cloud a ten out of ten for scalability."

"Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore."

"The most valuable feature is that you can create an infrastructure on-demand and do performance testing with it."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The beauty of LoadRunner Cloud is that we can use the load generator that is hosted by us on-premises, and we also have the option to use their hosted load generator. If it is a public-hosted application, we can also use their public-hosted load generator, but in our case, all our applications are hosted in our data center, so we are using the on-premise load generator. We have the option to deploy those load generators as we want."

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

More OpenText LoadRunner Cloud pros

"We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users."

"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."

"The function test feature is valuable."

"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."

"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."

"We like that we don't need a separate management tool. This is a good feature. It also has an inbuilt performance tool which is on Flash. It has very good record and playback feature as well. The inspection tool is also very good. Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."

"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature."

Cons

"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."

"Its scripting features need improvement."

"One area for improvement in LoadRunner Cloud, especially for agile models, is its limited support for functional testing alongside its robust non-functional testing capabilities."

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

"Sometimes, you are utilizing one of the low generators, then all of a sudden if you discontinue from one project, it actually deletes the entire low generator."

"The initial setup is complex, but that is the nature of the technology."

"The analysis feature in OpenText LoadRunner Cloud requires improvement. In-depth analysis tools found in the standalone LoadRunner analysis, such as graph merging and setting granularity, would be beneficial."

"It doesn't provide custom reports. You can only use the default reports which contain irrelevant data or is missing data that we need."

More OpenText LoadRunner Cloud cons

"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."

"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."

"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."

"I have faced issues with some indexing items."

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."

"To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"It's a very expensive solution"

"It is expensive compared to other tools."

"We make use of virtual user hours. We buy time in the LoadRunner Cloud. It costs around $80,000."

"The solution’s price is considerably high."

"There is no monthly or yearly cost but rather, the fees are based on the amount of traffic that you use."

"The solution is expensive."

More OpenText LoadRunner Cloud pricing and cost advice

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
