Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 18, 2024

Worksoft Certify and Oracle Application Testing Suite compete in the test automation category. Worksoft Certify seems to have the upper hand with its extensive features and SAP support, while Oracle Testing Suite excels in load and performance testing, particularly in Oracle ERP contexts.

Features: Worksoft Certify provides automatic test execution without scripts, seamless end-to-end validation, and SAP support with parameter-driven actions and content merge. Oracle Application Testing Suite's strengths lie in load and performance testing using OpenScript, supported by Oracle Test Manager and Oracle Functional Test, proving beneficial in Oracle ERP contexts.

Room for Improvement: Worksoft Certify could improve in handling complex loops and upgrades, web automation, object identification, and integration capabilities. Oracle Application Testing Suite needs enhancement in its limited support for web and non-Oracle applications, installation process, reporting utilities, cross-browser support, and user-friendly dashboards.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Worksoft Certify deploys across on-premises, hybrid, and public cloud, but feedback on customer service responsiveness is mixed. Oracle Application Testing Suite primarily supports on-premises and hybrid deployment, with generally more responsive technical support. Both products benefit from community and technical support forums.

Pricing and ROI: Worksoft Certify's higher pricing aligns with its rich features, offering substantial ROI through automation, ideal for large enterprises. Oracle Application Testing Suite is priced competitively, often offered at reduced rates for Oracle customers, promoting strong ROI despite Worksoft's higher upfront costs.

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.

Powerful automation tool with a user-friendly interface, codeless automation, and adaptability to complex business processes, particularly in SAP environments

The tool itself is highly effective, especially when it comes to comprehensibility for newcomers. Even during the initial learning phase, I found it remarkably user-friendly. It facilitates quick onboarding and training of new resources. It offers features for building automation scripts, such as search and certify capture. A notable advantage is that it doesn't rely on other tools like Micro Focus UFT or Micro Focus ALM for script execution. Worksoft can run independently without the need for support from Microsoft Office, although the option to use it for maintaining data exists. The tool also includes debugging features and comprehensive reporting capabilities, generating PDF reports for easy analysis.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is scalable."

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."

"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature."

"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 graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."

"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

"What I found most valuable in Worksoft Certify is its identification feature. I also found its automation feature valuable."

"What I like about Worksoft Certify is that end-to-end testing becomes faster."

"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."

"We have been able to save on a lot of manual work for some very high skilled, expensive resources. This has been able to free up a significant amount of their time so they can spend more time on innovation and more creative, value-add activities. That's been one of the more rewarding things that we've done, and the most appreciated."

"We found that Worksoft is easier to use because our business experts can do the tests. We didn't have to have IT experts."

"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."

"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."

"It's script-free, which is really important for our end users because we are usually dealing with colleagues who are not developers and who do not always have the technical background of developing and scripting. It's very useful that there is a nice UI and the tool is script-free."

Cons

"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."

"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."

"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."

"I have faced issues with some indexing items."

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

"Worksoft Certify's tech support's response time could be improved."

"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."

"Web UI testing was difficult in the beginning, as we had a homegrown product, and we had to do the proper object naming."

"Pricing is a bit high and we would like to have the availability of a trail environment for beginners and training would be great to have and easier to expand and use by more and more consultants."

"Worksoft Certify needs improvement on customization of reporting and how you report final outcomes."

"The web application should be more robust."

"We're really hopeful for the mobile testing in Worksoft Certify going forward."

"One feature that we have been asking for has been to treat tests as code and store the source code for tests in a configuration management tool. Right now, for version control of testing, it's all internally within the tool. If we have a test of a business process and want to revive that test, our methodology now is purely manual work. We go into the tool, create a copy of the existing test, and call the next one: v2. Now, we have two of them and the only way you can tell them apart is by its naming convention."

More Worksoft Certify cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Cost-wise, compared with other tools, it is a great product."

"We save probably 50 percent of our time. The tool does what it's supposed to do, and we are able to actually work."

"Our ROI is primarily a reduction in testing time. The testing, when we were doing it manually, was 30 to 40 percent of the project's cost."

"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."

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

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

"The typical range that we see is between 50 to 90 percent improvement in speed capabilities. Another aspect comes with the depth that they're able to test. It increases their capabilities overall to test at a broader level."

"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."

Reviews from Real Users

Jens N., Enterprise Architect SAP Solutions at a computer software company, writes, “As compared to other tools for test automation, what is very good in this tool is the ability to implement logic into the scripts without coding and learning a complex script language. It is comparable to defining formulas in Excel. It is pretty easy to learn how to make your scripts more intelligent and more flexible as per the situation.”
