Comprehensive, good value for money, and a lot of time savings

I discovered a lot of bugs in UiPath Test Suite. If I publish a test case in Test Manager as well as in Orchestrator, the existing test case does not get replaced. It is appending the test case but not replacing it. We want to replace the existing test case, but this functionality is not available. In Test Manager, there are a lot of defects in the ROI report that we provide to the operations team on a monthly basis. It is not very clear and detailed. There is no detailed explanation of every test case. There is only a high-level overview. We cannot download the report from Test Manager. We have to use some other tool, such as Power BI, to view the data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are the designing of API, Property Transfer feature, and Groovy plugin."

"SoapUI is a pretty simple tool."

"We need to test the APIs as we build them. I use the product for API testing. You can do AWS security in SoapUI. With SoapUI, we can even perform mutual SSL authentication by incorporating certificates into the SoapUI browser. This allows us to send transactions to the backend downstream."

"Being able to use regular expressions, activities, and attributes is valuable."

"It's effective at testing whatever automation we've built or making sure the automation we've built is working fine."

"The detailed logging is invaluable."

"We can generate our own workflow. In our case, it is a report on the PDF file. In the reporting category, we generally verify a couple of things and generate a lot of reports at the end of the day. It provides some useful details about the data captured from the PDF that we can put into an Excel file."

"The document understanding is good."

"UiPath Test Cloud definitely helps free up time for other projects for our engineers."

"It facilitates the delegation of control to multiple users and offers an efficient way to organize tasks using labels."

"Some of the best features I find with UiPath Test Cloud include the creation of end-to-end workflows with API integration, which was particularly useful for my use case, allowing me to connect APIs seamlessly within the defined workflows in UiPath."

Cons

"The product needs to be available as an extension for the Chrome browser."

"There are more advanced API testing tools than SoapUI, and SoapUI could be made better."

"The solution should include some plug-ins to share the generated reports over email."

"I don't rate its ability to automate very well."

"More precise logging would be appreciated."

"They could improve the visualization of the product."

"Our primary application is built on Windows, so we've faced no significant challenges. However, I think mobile automation is one area where the solution still needs some work."

"There is room for improvement in terms of introducing framework compatibility. Many companies use test automation as an alternative to Selenium but need to develop a fully functional bot in UiPath to test on it, which is inefficient."

"At FORWARD VI, we see new automations being built around AI and the ability to have developers understand how they can drive some of those AI capabilities with Studio. We are starting to see that. They should also drive that with UiPath Test Suite so that we can not only build that development side faster; we can also develop the tests that go along with it, hopefully automatically."

"We are facing problems specifically with Desk Manager."

"If I publish a test case in Test Manager as well as in Orchestrator, the existing test case does not get replaced. It is appending the test case but not replacing it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SoapUI is an open-source solution."

"SoapUI is a cheap tool that does not have an expensive license."

"One robot license costs 1,500 euros."

"The cost of a UiPath Test Suite license for five users is over $10,000 USD."

"I wasn't involved in the negotiations for the UiPath Test Suite, so I have no information on its pricing."

"Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."

"Its price is a bit high."

"I consider it expensive. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing. It's priced per license on an annual basis. Our customers usually pay around 30K to 35K for five licenses, which is priced per year."

"It is a little bit more expensive than Selenium, but it provides value for money. There are multiple types of licenses such as the Test Suite license, Studio Pro license, Test Manager license, and Test Robot license. The overall cost estimation is 13,800 dollars."

"It represents good value for the investment."
