Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

OpenText Silk Test and Worksoft Certify are competitors in the software testing automation market. Based on our data comparisons, Worksoft Certify seems to have an upper hand due to its advanced features and seamless integration capabilities with various enterprise ecosystems.

Features: OpenText Silk Test provides robust cross-platform testing, script sharing across projects for enhanced test maintainability, and a strong object model for windows declarations. Worksoft Certify offers model-based testing, automated script generation, and the ability to perform end-to-end validation across application landscapes, which reduces manual testing efforts significantly.

Room for Improvement: OpenText Silk Test could improve in easing technical requirements for deployment, enhancing the speed of test execution, and expanding integration with non-traditional platforms. Worksoft Certify could benefit from refining its user interface further, reducing the complexity of automation setup for non-SAP applications, and optimizing documentation output to be less extensive while maintaining detail.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OpenText Silk Test offers straightforward installation but requires a certain level of technical knowledge offset by their reliable customer support. Worksoft Certify provides a seamless deployment experience with strong support services that guide users in fully leveraging its capabilities, offering an advantage in non-technical implementations.

Pricing and ROI: OpenText Silk Test is generally more budget-friendly with reasonable setup costs, providing substantial ROI for small to mid-scale businesses. Worksoft Certify, although more expensive initially, delivers a compelling ROI through efficient automation capabilities, facilitating long-term savings for large enterprises.

Stable, with good statistics and detailed reporting available

While we are performance testing the engineering key, we need to come up with load strategies to commence the test. We'll help to monitor the test, and afterward, we'll help to make all the outcomes, and if they are new, we'll do lots and lots of interpretation and analysis across various servers, to look at response times, and impact. For example, whatever the observations we had during the test, we need to implement it. We'll have to help to catch what exactly is the issues were, and we'll help to see how they can be reduced. Everything is very manual. It's up to us to find out exactly what the issues are. The solution needs better monitoring, especially of CPU.

Best tool for SAP Environment & Powerfull Automation tool with user friendly interface

From my experience, Worksoft Certify is a good tool for automating SAP, and it also works fine with web apps. But while creating or running scripts, we do face some automation abort issues, which break the flow and need rework. Also, sometimes it feels a bit slow, especially when running more scripts together. If the speed and stability can be improved, that would really help. We are using CTM for scheduling and managing runs it’s useful, but there’s still some scope to improve things like live monitoring and checking results more easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability of the solution is quite good. You can easily expand the product if you need to."

"It's easy to automate and accelerate testing."

"The feature I like most is the ease of reporting."

"A good automation tool that supports SAP functional testing."

"The statistics that are available are very good."

"The ability to develop scripts in Visual Studio, Visual Studio integration, is the most valuable feature."

"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."

"The major thing it has helped with is to reduce the workload on testing activities."

"For this SAP upgrade or implementation, the business users are creating building blocks in their areas, then they're changing the building blocks into long end-to-end scripts to do a complete end-to-end testing to speed up the UAT. It definitely has a bigger coverage of UAT testing."

"The decoupling of the test scripts from the data and the application is a nice feature. When you are creating test scripts, for example, for a web application, you have to learn about Worksoft and how the controls of a screen can be interpreted by Worksoft. For that purpose, you create so-called maps. These maps are loosely coupled to your scripts, which means if the application is changed, the control will be changed from an identifier. You don't need to rework the entire script. You only need to do these adjustments in the map, and then you can automatically reuse the scripts. So, it is really a smart move to have the decoupling of scripts, maps, and data."

"People focus on what they actually want to test and define it in a more detailed way. It shines a light on what they are testing, along with the speed and adaptability."

"Worksoft Certify supports multiple interfaces and applications like SAP, Web, or Silverlight Java, and Mainframe. It is easily integrated."

"The ease of use is superior to anything on the market. It's very easy to integrate. We've been very impressed with the tool. Because we primarily use the configuration with SAP, the integration is pretty seamless. But we have used our own in-house VB app as well, and it's worked very well with that."

"It provides a lot of time savings. We are always ready to execute a task whenever the business asks us. We saved approximately 7000 hours in 2018."

"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."

"If we write a new test that's 80 percent the same as an existing test, it is pretty straightforward to reuse the steps from existing tests for our new tests and build upon them."

More Worksoft Certify pros

Cons

"The support for automation with iOS applications can be better."

"They should extend some of the functions that are a bit clunky and improve the integration."

"The solution has a lack of compatibility with newer technologies."

"The pricing is an issue, the program is very expensive. That is something that can improve."

"The pricing could be improved."

"Everything is very manual. It's up to us to find out exactly what the issues are."

"Could be more user-friendly on the installation and configuration side."

"We moved to Ranorex because the solution did not easily scale, and we could not find good and short term third-party help. We needed to have a bigger pool of third-party contractors that we could draw on for specific implementations. Silk didn't have that, and we found what we needed for Ranorex here in the Houston area. It would be good if there is more community support. I don't know if Silk runs a user conference once a year and how they set up partners. We need to be able to talk to somebody more than just on the phone. It really comes right down to that. The generated automated script was highly dependent upon screen position and other keys that were not as robust as we wanted. We found the automated script generated by Ranorex and the other key information about a specific data point to be more robust. It handled the transition better when we moved from computer to computer and from one size of the application to the other size. When we restarted Silk, we typically had to recalibrate screen elements within the script. Ranorex also has some of these same issues, but when we restart, it typically is faster, which is important."

"It is poor for a web based application."

"With one of our applications where we do check-in, Worksoft is not able to identify the Java-based application. We raised the ticket, but we were unable to resolve this using Worksoft."

"For the couple of the issues that we were really scratching our heads over, we were in communication with the technical support several times, but they never got back to us."

"Some features are missing from a testing perspective. You need to know how to connect everything to create requirements and stability metrics for the routine."

"I would like the GUI to be more user-friendly and intuitive. We want to be able to move assets from project to another project without having to be in the same project or the same folder structure."

"When it is unstable, there will be times when a test that we are running in Certify will just stop, and it will say, "Aborted." There will be errors. There will be no explanation as to why it happens. It has now happened maybe one out of 20 times. When it happens, I just tell our QA team to stop Certify and restart it, hoping we don't see it again."

"The definitions for the objects need to be automated. They need to be recognized automatically by Worksoft Certify instead of changing them back and forth manually. This is also something that Worksoft is currently working on."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid annually. There is a purchase cost, and then there is an ongoing maintenance fee."

"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."

"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 price is in line with everyone else's in the market. They are not cheaper nor more expensive than anyone else who was in our RFP."

"I don't have much idea about the pricing, but it is a licensed tool, and it is somewhat costly."

"We have seen that the initial Worksoft implementation has helped our customers reduce their testing cycle time by 50 percent. With further continuous improvement, we have seen cycle time reduced up to 75 percent. That is the level of productivity achieved using Worksoft Certify."

"If we do one manual process, it could take approximately two hours. The same process using Worksoft probably takes ten minutes."

"The license cost is quite high. This might not be a consideration for a large company, but it will be for a small company. E.g., Tricentis (their competitor) offers certain exclusive use cases where a company can use it in a certain way, so this is another option that companies consider."

"Worksoft Capture 2.0 can help our customers to accelerate their automation development at least 40 percent faster than any other commercial tools available in the market."

"Saving money and better quality, these are the benefits of Certify."
