I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training.""The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder.""AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."

Cons
"TestLeft captures a lot of space in terms of memory, which is one issue that can be improved."

More SmartBear TestLeft Cons →

"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial.""I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface.""Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot.""The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
