Pros
"Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me.""Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution.""The way it identifies elements is good.""The performance and load testing are very good.""The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface."

"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows.""The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder.""It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training.""If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."

Cons
"Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy.""I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding.""It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously.""There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test.""The charts need to be more detailed and customizable."

More Telerik Test Studio Cons →

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