Featured Reviews

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy
Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Performance testing has delivered diverse global retail loads and generates clear diagnostic reports
I did not notice any weak points or downsides in Tricentis NeoLoad except for the cost. Everything else is good with the tool. When I consider that service customers have to pay the cost for the load generation, I find that the cost increases, especially when I want to generate a load for a global customer with different loads in different regions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."
"It's user friendly and in-built API support makes it very easy to automate or develop an automation framework."
"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature, the recording feature is the prime feature that open script has, and I also like the connectivity with Oracle Forms as it is very compatible."
"It helped in running performance testing cycles and identifying the bottlenecks of the application, helping our clients to run their application successfully and smoothly."
"The Product as a whole is an integrated package with excellent co-relation with all Oracle Applications and any web-based application."
"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."
"Now I feel its the best tool to automate any of the Oracle Products, which include Oracle EBS Applications, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Siebel, Adobe Flex, ADF applications, etc.."
"I can organize test scripts pretty well."
"NeoLoad helped us to transition from load testing to continuous performance measurement."
"The test cases are quite easy to build and to maintain. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us. It's the reason why they changed from JMeter to NeoLoad."
"Implementing this product has allowed us to increase the number of projects that get load testing, and the frequency by which we re-test our performance."
"NeoLoad is very user friendly and works well with HTTP and REST API’s, is very effective during cloud based testing, and the cost is a fraction of LoadRunner."
"I would rate it as eight out of 10 for ease of setting up."
"It is a good source for load, stress and performance testing."
"The licensing cost is very less for NeoLoad. It is user-friendly and easy to understand because they have created so many useful functionalities. When I started working with this tool, we just had to do the initial assessment about whether this tool will be able to support our daily work or not. I could easily understand it. I didn't have to search Google or watch YouTube videos. In just 15 to 20 minutes, I was able to understand the tool."
"Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter."
 

Cons

"Improvements can be made in a number of protocol support areas, including enhanced Citrix support."
"The tool runs out of memory when the recording flows are long and involve many screens despite increasing the memory settings for OpenScript."
"I think that licensing policies could be more intuitive; when we installed this application for the first time, we couldn't understand why there were only two users."
"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."
"We have stability issues with the server logging off when a script runs from OTM."
"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."
"Performance is slow as compared to other tools like QTP."
"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."
"It's straightforward to install and configure, but complex to convert scripts from a previous product to work in NeoLoad."
"Tricentis NeoLoad's mobile platform acts as a stand-alone application but needs to be integrated with the main interface"
"It would be nice if this could be cheaper."
"The only issue that I had was with network virtualization on load generators installed on Windows Server 2008 R2."
"The price could be more friendly, and it was impossible to continue using the same version of Tricentis NeoLoad, as we were forced to move to the next version. Sometimes there were compatibility problems, and that was a major problem with backward compatibility issues."
"The product keeps its pace with the updates, however I would like them to offer online advance training certification and better support material."
"The weakest feature of most of the load test tools is result analysis."
"The product must improve the features that allow integration with CI/CD pipelines."
