DevOps Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Shared change lists are helpful, but poor scalability leads to problems with instability
The biggest problems with this solution have to do with scale. If the load is high then your request is put on hold for a second, and then you have to handle it. If you make a lot of requests then it is your problem. It would be very helpful if a queue was implemented to handle, for example, 100 requests at the same time. Any additional request would be put on hold and made to wait for a few seconds. Once the network and infrastructure are loaded to handle the next request, it would proceed.

WorkSoft Certified Automation Engineer at Qualesce
Automation has delivered strong ROI with AI-driven test prioritization and parallel reporting
The best feature of Worksoft Certify is the automatic report generation. Unlike traditional tools like Selenium or Java-based frameworks where reporting often requires custom coding, Certify handles this natively. We are currently utilizing the 14.5 version, which has modernized these capabilities, though we frequently manage backward compatibility for clients still running on the 12.x version series.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the option to pull changes from others or make local changes in your own change list."
"The most valuable feature is its time saving, because once development is complete, the short time that it takes to execute a test is invaluable and saves a number of dollars and man-hours."
"Since they updated the Capture feature to a more "Snagit" look and feel, it has become our primary tool."
"The most valuable features of Worksoft Certify are the way we can maintain the processes and sub-processes inside, we can immediately identify and replicate multiple objects in the application without having a major issue with it, and we are able to do a lot of operations even with the solution being completely scriptless, which is a large advantage compared with other automation tools."
"Worksoft Certify has good integration capabilities with third-party tools."
"We get feedback from all areas that the return on investment is there, not just regarding time savings but also cost reduction."
"Using Certify, we have been able to bring testing timescales down from three to four weeks of manual effort to a few hours of automated testing, preventing major defects from going into production and saving significant time for business users to focus on value‑adding activities."
"The main benefit that Worksoft Certify provides for me as an end user is scriptless automation, which is very important because there is no coding involved in it."
"We were able to increase the percentage of automation from between 40% and 50% to 80% within a year."
 

Cons

"It would be very helpful if a queue was implemented to handle, for example, 100 requests at the same time."
"Generally, we can say that we have not had an excellent experience with Perforce."
"What I dislike about Worksoft Certify is that if I have complex web applications or complex requirements, the scripting becomes difficult and the efficiency is also low for complex projects."
"On the Capture 2.0 topic, we were not satisfied, because we had a version that wasn't really tested from my perspective."
"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."
"With the codeless process automation across packaged applications, once in a while, if we get a weird application that's not widely used, it gets a little stickier. First, the software has to learn the fields, so you have to identify all the fields. Once you do that, as long as there isn’t any non-standard code in the application, then it works fine. But there's that one step that you have to do, a step you don't have to do with SAP and Salesforce, for example."
"The downside of Worksoft Certify is related to loops and conditions. It is somewhat complex compared to other tools I have worked with."
"They have a scheduler in Execution Manager, but it is not customizable. Its UI needs a lot of improvement. The lights-out testing is a bit difficult with that particular tool, and it needs a lot of improvement. Of course, there are so many integration options with Worksoft for execution, but when it comes to Execution Manager, which is their own tool, there is a lot of scope for improvement."
"Our interactions with technical support has not been the best always and there is room for improvement especially with respect to the time taken to respond to cases. However, with the right contacts and reasonable escalations we have always managed to get quick attention on our cases."
"We ran into some issues with the version that we were on during the initial setup. We ran into a bug on one version, then they upgraded us to a new version, and we got hit with another bug. So, they had to put us in a beta. That was a little frustrating. However, besides the bugs that we ran into, the install was pretty straightforward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"By using automation, it reduced about 75 percent of the time when compared to any other tool."
"I don't have much idea about the pricing, but it is a licensed tool, and it is somewhat costly."
"In general, they changed their license model. Before you had to buy licenses for each component, and now they changed it so you can buy a license and use it for nearly all their applications."
"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."
"We've saved over 80 percent in time savings."
"I think they came out with a different type of licensing specifically for testing. Therefore, you don't have to use a more expensive user license, you can use an automation license. So potentially, if we had 100 use cases, we could spin up a 100 different machines, have them all run and be done in five minutes. That would be the goal, but I don't know if that would actually succeed or not."
"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Worksoft Certify."
"The tool is not really good at all because you need to purchase some additional tools."
