Pros

You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool""The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts.""The most valuable feature is the object identification feature.""The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development.""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 function test feature is valuable.""OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback.""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.

Cons
"Licensing policies could be more intuitive.""If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time.""I have faced issues with some indexing items.""It needs to be compatible with all browsers.""Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac.""The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved.""We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules.""I would like to see better dashboards."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite Cons →

"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools.""The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT.""What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing.""The artificial intelligence needs to be improved.""Product is not stable enough and it crashes often.""Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription.""The pricing is the constraint.""The test object repository needs to be improved. The hierarchy and the way we identify the objects in different applications, irrespective of technology, needs adjustments. The located and test objects are not as flexible compared to other commercial tools."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandhiya T S., Sr Solutions Engineer at Lexington Soft, relates, “The record and replay aspects of the solution are quite useful for people. With them, you don't have to write any scripts. Basically, you can record your actions and play them back later. The initial setup is also very easy.”

    Sai S R., Staff Test Architect at a tech services company, says, "The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#.
