Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a complete solution for mobile application testing.""The solution is easy to use. There are features to orchestrate mobile testing, including mobile testing automation. You can test different devices at the same time.""For automation testing, the tool provides the record and playback option, which helps with object detection easily.""There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps.""The most valuable feature of this solution is virtualization.""The product is easy to use.""The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare."

"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder.""If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice.""AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows.""It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."

Cons
"For the most part, the key challenge is ensuring that customers fully utilize the product as intended and adopt the appropriate frameworks to implement the solutions effectively.""I would like to see more integration with automation tools.""They should introduce a pay-per-use subscription model.""The documentation and user interface both need improvement.""We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it.""We need to scale devices easily. Some customers would like to loop in AWS or other cloud providers to check if their devices have the cloud factor. OpenText UFT Digital Lab needs to improve it.""The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing."

More OpenText UFT Digital Lab Cons →

"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial.""Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot.""The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps.""I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
