Easy to set up with good documentation and easy management of testing cycles
The solution allows for a complete test cycle. The management of testing cycles are easy. We have good control over test cases. We can capture functional testing very easily. We're actually able to accelerate testing now and have end-to-end cycles for testing. We didn't used to have these capabilities. It's easy to automate and accelerate testing. The product offers very good cross-browser testing capabilities. We can do continuous testing and regression testing.

Efficient application testing with reduced maintenance, though integration enhancements are needed
The best features I've seen with UiPath Test Cloud so far come down to test case management, tracking, and the ability to see results, but I'll be honest, the main feature I enjoy the most is the cost. The ability of the test suite to automate tests across a wide range of technologies is great since UiPath's background in RPA is specifically designed to automate basically any and all technologies. UiPath Test Cloud has certainly helped me reduce maintenance. While I don't have a good calculation on the exact time saved, I can tell you it helps with maintenance significantly. It absolutely frees up staff time for other projects by quickly identifying and classifying issues instead of going through a manual triage process. The total cost of testing is indeed reduced with UiPath Test Cloud, probably targeting around a 25% to 30% reduction in cost, typically ending up closer to 15% to 20% for larger implementations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using this DLL functionality we were able to automate our product."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good. You can easily expand the product if you need to."
"The statistics that are available are very good, the solution offers very good detailed reports, and it's excellent for testing an application's performance levels."
"Scripting is the most valuable. We are able to record and then go in and modify the script that it creates. It has a lot of generative scripts."
"A good automation tool that supports SAP functional testing."
"The ability to develop scripts in Visual Studio, Visual Studio integration, is the most valuable feature."
"It drastically reduced our manual regression efforts that is difficult to achieve in Agile model."
"With the help of SilkTest we've automated a bunch of routine regression tests, thus we saved our testing team weeks of testing time."
"UiPath Test Suite is user-friendly and operates as a low-code platform."
"Test Suite has multiple tools that are fully integrated. It has everything you need to record your test cases, generate your documentation, and integrate synthetic data with your Orchestrator. I like the integrated aspect of it. The biggest advantage of UiPath is that it not only tests but also integrates with all the other services to offer a complete package."
"What I really like about UiPath Test Suite is its ability to ensure that any changes made do not affect other functionalities."
"The document understanding is good."
"We could use it for Oracle and SAP and it did help significantly."
"Some of the best features I find with UiPath Test Cloud include the creation of end-to-end workflows with API integration, which was particularly useful for my use case, allowing me to connect APIs seamlessly within the defined workflows in UiPath."
"It facilitates the delegation of control to multiple users and offers an efficient way to organize tasks using labels."
"Our team used to require five to six days to complete the entire release or execution cycle. Now, we're able to complete it within just one or one and a half days."
 

Cons

"Need to improve online documentation, community and forums to share issues encountered and solutions."
"Implementing a better integration with Git. It was extremely painful to implement the link from Silk Central to Git."
"Everything is very manual. It's up to us to find out exactly what the issues are."
"They should extend some of the functions that are a bit clunky and improve the integration."
"The support for automation with iOS applications can be better."
"SilkTest has to improve on Firefox and Chrome as their versions change."
"GUI interface could be simpler for non-developers."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex if you're deploying on-prem."
"They can improve the dashboard by adding some widgets for reporting. Also, currently, they don't have defect management modules."
"We'd like to see the solution integrate with more code or local frameworks."
"It would be very beneficial to do load testing with Test Suite."
"There is room for improvement in terms of introducing framework compatibility. Many companies use test automation as an alternative to Selenium but need to develop a fully functional bot in UiPath to test on it, which is inefficient."
"More precise logging would be appreciated."
"UiPath needs to improve its Test Manager feature. Defect management and reporting also need improvement."
"The pricing isn't as low as other options."
"With Selenium, there is a plugin called Healenium, which helps automatically detect changed properties of objects. With one click, it automatically updates the object repository with the changed properties. I would like UiPath to add that capability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and while I think that the price is quite reasonable I am not allowed to share those details."
"We paid annually. There is a purchase cost, and then there is an ongoing maintenance fee."
"Its price is a bit high."
"The cost of a UiPath Test Suite license for five users is over $10,000 USD."
"Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."
"One robot license costs 1,500 euros."
"I consider it expensive. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing. It's priced per license on an annual basis. Our customers usually pay around 30K to 35K for five licenses, which is priced per year."
"I wasn't involved in the negotiations for the UiPath Test Suite, so I have no information on its pricing."
"When we decided to buy the solution three and a half years ago, it was fairly priced."
"It is a little bit more expensive than Selenium, but it provides value for money. There are multiple types of licenses such as the Test Suite license, Studio Pro license, Test Manager license, and Test Robot license. The overall cost estimation is 13,800 dollars."
