"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool. It covers all necessary items in the test plan. The most painful item in testing is maintenance. When changes occur, the tests should be maintained."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
