Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."
"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."
"The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool. You don't need to do script testing. When you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures these test case steps. The next time you can replay the tool the flow automatically happens again. For example, when you do the logging and all the activity will be captured by the tool, and re-execute the same step by using automatization."
"The solution is stable."
"Data security was prime for us. Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."
"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run concurrent automated tests up to a specified value, depending on what we are currently paying for."
"It offers the single best solution for integrating deep automated browser testing in a CI/CD pipeline."
"The error logging is also very robust. If we run a test through Sauce Labs and there's some sort of issue, a log will appear on the screen. Log messages are usually heinous and horrible... Sauce Labs is incredibly good at saying things like, 'Hey, here is the exact issue. Fix this and you can run the test.' That helps in getting things up and running and executing the way they should."
"Maintaining many environments for test is a bear. These guys make it so easy with their CI integration that you can have tests going in after a few hours."
"It helped to integrate our performance testing and UAT, which helped to deliver a bug free software for our customers."
"APPIUM for mobile testing has improved our organization by allowing us to test our website on more devices and browsers than we currently possess."
"Testing my app on cloud has really helped us with save time and resources to procure various hardware and software, and set those up."
"With only a few clicks, it gives us the availability to use any browser and OS combination whenever we want."
"It is very easy to use. You can handle a lot of things together at once in one package, which is a good point for us."
"The most valuable feature of Visual Studio Test Professional is its ease of use."
"The documentation is easy, and it helps us solve our problems."
"Visual Studio is highly powerful. It's probably the best software development tool on the market."
"The solution is very useful for compiling existing projects and developing new projects."
"The most valuable feature has been to store all our packages in one place including SSIS packages, SQL tables, TFS and SSR."
"The whole suite is made for .NET development."
"One of the best documentation in the world."
"There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman."
"For our purposes it requires integration with other products to get out the results in the format we want them. Adding this to the product could improve it."
"If there are many queries on the web page, Ranorex will not render the page correctly. I had about 1,000 queries on the page, and the solution was not able to handle it."
"I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code."
"One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian."
"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."
"Ranorex is used in Windows while other solutions, for example, Katalon Studio, are cross-platform. (But in my opinion, overall, Ranorex is better)."
"I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis."
"Overall, I think Sauce Labs provides us with a valuable tool and resource. As far as what could be improved, I would say the overall test execution time. Some of the calls take a bit longer than I expect, for example in web browser tests; while the execution time isn't obnoxious, it could be improved so that overall tests/test suites finish faster."
"Another aspect that could be improved is having the virtual devices boot up a little quicker. Sometimes we wait up to a minute before a device is available. It would be nice if that was 30 seconds or so."
"This product is not super scalable, because you have a very specific number of VMs that you can use."
"User account management needs an overhauls, allowing for user groups rather than just a hierarchy structure."
"Progress towards reducing application testing time can be made."
"Sauce Labs needs to be improved in the different platforms for farm testing, like iOS and Android farm testing and farm testing web browsers."
"They could improve the platform's customer support services."
"Unable to segregate reports for tests that are currently being developed, and might not be returning useful results."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The product must provide more integration."
"I would like to see more integration in the solution."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a little pricey."
"The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution."
"The price is reasonable, but it's not the best."
"Sometimes, the product is too complex to use."
"The solution should be cheaper."
