Glenford John

Product Manager, Device Integration at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

Saves us $2.6 million per year, provides more efficient testing, and helps us strengthen relationships with vendors

The automation piece is the most valuable feature. Every time we had a new version of either OS or an application, we found that being able to automate the testing across different devices is very valuable. Perfecto is great at executing cross-platform testing. From a carrier perspective, it's all mobile, but we also have web applications. We used to be able to test on Symbian, Windows OS, Android, and iOS. Today, we can go on a big screen and test on Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, and other browsers. My team leverages Perfecto's reporting and analytics. When we start stress testing an application, we can look at all the reporting that comes from that, and we can tell at what part of the day the app is performing better. Our analytics are very important to us. Presentations are important, so it's good to have reports with graphs that show the time of day or how the app was performing for months at a time. We use those reports to screen capture, go with the data, and to show to upper management. We can do a comparison of one version performance to another version of the application or device performance. We utilize Perfecto's cloud-based lab to test across devices, browsers, and OSs. We are a carrier, so we have our devices with different OS versions of devices. Right now, it's mostly just Apple and Androids. Back in the day, they had many different versions of the OS, but the only other thing on top of that is web-based browsers. We don't test Linux, which is an operating system of Windows. We don't use Perfecto's cloud. We use our own devices because we test on only our organization's devices. Unless we do some kind of competitive analysis, it's not really a test; it's just a comparison to see how other solutions compare to ours. The range of open-source technologies that Perfecto supports is great. I have a team of contractors that report to me and do all the testing for our organization, and that team turns over every couple of years. We mostly utilize the in-house automation that is available for anyone who isn't a great programmer. They have support for all these other drivers, and they have something for non-programmers who want to automate their work, which is amazing.

Mohit Rathi

Lead Consultant at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

Provides multiple test environments and saves time, but should have something for inspecting mobile apps screens

With the desktop browser, we can inspect any screen with the web developer option, but they should provide something for mobiles so that we can quickly inspect elements on the device. To write the Selenium scripts, we require web locators. We have to capture them from the local and execute the script on Sauce Labs. If Sauce Labs can provide a solution where we can inspect any of the mobile devices online, it will be very helpful for us. I also faced an issue where during the execution time, the iCloud password used to expire within a certain period, which used to create pop-ups on the screen making our tests fail. That was one thing that we faced many times. If that can be improved, it will be very helpful.

Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers

Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Perfecto has affected our software quality in a good way; it has allowed us to catch our defects earlier, thus improving the quality of our applications."

"Being able to run automated tests and see the success and failure rate of those runs every day has saved us a lot of time and helped us identify issues much sooner, which has improved the quality of our software."

"The Perfecto device lab has allowed us to run tests on multiple devices at the same time and across multiple platforms as well, increasing the efficiency of our testing and saving money, time, and effort while enabling comprehensive testing and high app quality that we otherwise wouldn't be able to achieve."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that it covers all types of devices on the market allowing you to test different versions of an operating system."

"The most valuable feature is automated testing."

"One of the good things about Perfecto is the scalability that it provides."

"Their team is really great to work with. They're very flexible, and they always show care. They prioritize our work, our company, and our working relationship. I appreciate the ad hoc sessions that they schedule to provide help with troubleshooting, provide the information that we're looking for, or do a demo of a new feature that they have. They're always willing and very quick to get that scheduled for us. I appreciate that a lot."

"Perfecto has affected our software quality in a good way. It has allowed us to execute on-demand and on-choice. We also track the number of issues that we find in the product. Every single day, we tag the issues that we found. For example, if something was found by automation, that means it was found by a Perfecto execution. Over time, we realized the real value in tracking those numbers. We can see now that we have clearly been finding issues earlier. It has allowed us to catch our defects earlier, thus improving the quality of our applications."

More Perfecto pros

"The combination of OS platforms, platform versions, browsers and browser versions support on VMs."

"The custom capabilities that can be provided to Sauce Labs VMs during automated testing sessions are a valuable option for experimental or niche testing."

"Testing is very fast with this tool."

"Automation test runs are faster now with Sauce Labs."

"Sauce Labs, which blends seamlessly into Agile and ATDD processes, has made the process much smoother from a QA perspective."

"The configuration and options within Sauce Labs are endless, which makes it an excellent product."

"Testing across multiple devices and environments is now possible to do quickly and effectively."

"Sauce Labs is a reliable vendor, and you can trust their network."

More Sauce Labs pros

"Tricentis Tosca has completely met our requirements."

"I'm using Tricentis Tosca as part of test automation, so it reduces the test execution time, and this has improved our organization."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"We have had some issues with performance, which is something that should be improved."

"On the analytics side, Perfecto is in need of improvement."

"There could be some improvements done on the interface. At times, there has been a bit of a struggle when finding things on the interface."

"It is slow compared to physical device testing. The interactive speed could be improved."

"We don't use Perforce's BlazeMeter with Perfecto. From my perspective, it's not really relevant."

"It would be nice if there were some kind of AI to compile a list of available devices. Currently, we have to look at the web interface to see the available devices, but the pipelines can't do it on their own there. We always need to do this manually, so it would be better if this feature were automated."

"There could be some improvements done on the interface. At times, there has been a bit of a struggle when finding things on the interface. A UI revamp would be a better option in future. That UI hasn't changed much in a long time, so I think they could just make it a bit better so that people could find stuff easily and intuitively."

"Its performance should be improved. Anything to speed up the user interface would be a great help. We've had a lot of pain with their migration from a product UI that was based on Adobe Flash to the new product that is based on HTML5. Migrations like that seemed to be very painful and not a real smooth process. We're still sort of recovering from that migration from old technology to new, and we haven't got all the functionality ported over that we used to have on the old UI."

More Perfecto cons

"The ability to configure the memory and CPU for the test machines should be included."

"Stability needs improvement."

"Integration with Github, as well as several other similar tools, could be improved."

"Sauce Labs needs to be improved in the different platforms for farm testing, like iOS and Android farm testing and farm testing web browsers."

"Unable to segregate reports for tests that are currently being developed, and might not be returning useful results."

"Better and programmatic controls on request/response recordings and sharing with developers."

"Integration with Github, as well as several other similar tools, could be improved."

"Rarely, some tests fail, seemingly without cause, and will succeed again the next time we run the tests."

More Sauce Labs cons

"The solution is expensive."

"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."

"Licenses are expensive, but they are worth using."

"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."

"The only thing I am not happy about is not so much the product, but it's that we don’t a good way to control licenses."

"Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it. After that, they tried a new approach with key-tracing, and that didn't work."

"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."

"The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution compared to others, by 30% to 40%."

"Perfecto is about 30-40% cheaper than Device Anywhere. That was a big reason why we switched. Perfecto also solves some of the issues that we had with Device Anywhere. We have grown by 100% since we started to use Perfecto, and now we have devices roaming. When we look at the competition, we would still stick with Perfecto."

"Perfecto's price is excellent compared to other products with similar features. It was the lowest of the three we evaluated. We also established a partnership with Perfecto, so they provide discounts when we sell Perfecto projects and licenses to our customers."

"Perfecto has definitely saved us on the costs and efforts of having to maintain our own virtual test environment. We lost about 20 devices in the past to maintenance and audit. That was a massive loss for us, as a company, because we were giving devices to someone, but don't know whether we would get it back or not. Having those virtual labs, we don't need to worry about these kinds of things. We are easily saving $5,000 to $10,000 a month on device costing."

"It's definitely on the higher end of prices for this type of service."

"Pricing is an area where Perfecto can do a little better. When we obtain additional licenses, we enter into negotiations with them."

"Pricing-wise, it is fine. It is not as expensive as what we used to have in the past from HP, IBM, and others. It is decently priced."

"Although Perfecto is a good product for us to use, it is a bit expensive. It takes management a bit of work to find the appropriate funding for us to keep Perfecto. I imagine there could be some way to make it more accessible."

More Perfecto pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is definitely on the higher end, and there are other options that are more cost-effective."

"Now that we have an enterprise license, we no longer have to worry about minutes each month!"

"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive. I'm sure it's justified, but it's expensive."

"The number of concurrent VMs that Sauce Labs provides depends on your purchase license level."

"Their pricing is incredibly competitive."

"Try the free trial and work with a Sauce Labs representative to see what package works best for your application(s)."

"We pay for a specific number of VMs."

"Cost-wise, it's decent. If you have to get the base version out of it, it's the best solution to go with. As compared to other cloud service providers, the pricing of Sauce Labs is decent."

More Sauce Labs pricing and cost advice

"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."

"We hired a consultant to figure out all the tools in our company and how they fit in our company before we purchased the solution."

"The price of the tool is a problem for a lot of Brazilian clients or Latino clients, as it is expensive. Where I work, if one is low price and ten is high price, I rate the tool's price as a ten out of ten."

"Pricing could be better."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."

"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."

"The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."
