Smart locators and small learning curve streamline test automation, minimizing maintenance and boosting efficiency.
Testim has a specific feature called a smart locator. Anyone experienced in test automation knows this is one of the most complex parts of developing automated scripts. The Testim feature automatically finds the locators, which helps us build stable test scripts. Stable scripts are crucial for receiving faster and more reliable feedback. I have also seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes.

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

"Testim introduces three services covering validation steps, eliminating the necessity to write complex code."
"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."
"The product is easy to use."
"The stability has been great; we can add stable tests very easily and improve our automation coverage, which allows us to deploy a new version into production every few days with minimum manual labor."
"The pre-defined tests are a great help, specifically the custom JS test that allows us to be able to use custom code to test complicated elements or scenarios."
"The Testim technical support is very responsive and worked with a specific team member on the First Databank side to answer hard technical questions and took enhancement requests as needed."
"It enabled us to cover our app in end-to-end tests very quickly with quality results."
"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."
"It is a pretty easy tool to use as far as automated testing tools go."
"Worksoft Certify is a great tool, which is easy to use and maintain, as no porting needed, development, nor high technical skills are needed."
"By using automation, it reduced about 75 percent of the time when compared to any other tool."
"We were able to increase the percentage of automation from between 40% and 50% to 80% within a year."
"We are now trying to automate all our applications: SAP, web, third-party, and legacy. Instead of multiple tools, we have been able to have Worksoft handle a lot of our applications. This has saved us a lot of time and effort."
"For this SAP upgrade or implementation, the business users are creating building blocks in their areas, then they're changing the building blocks into long end-to-end scripts to do a complete end-to-end testing to speed up the UAT. It definitely has a bigger coverage of UAT testing."
"Overall, I find the product cost-effective and it does bring the return on investment."
"I have not seen any stability issues."
 

Cons

"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."
"There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it."
"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."
"There is currently no room for improvement that I can identify as of now."
"The accessibility reporting features could be more robust to be reported at the script level and allow users to map down to the step level."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind, for instance - instead of going in and out of the editor every time I want to view test data for a test, I could just view the test data in the table, or the ability to copy steps through tests."
"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."
"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."
"I have seen lagging, crashing, or downtime; sometimes it results in a frozen screen and crashing, and I need to close the application and relaunch it again."
"The technical support comes on, and says, "Oh, so-and-so link is here, go through that link, and make the modifications." I'm not comfortable in making those changes. I want to schedule a call, share my screen, and have them fix it for me."
"Web UI testing was difficult in the beginning, as we had a homegrown product, and we had to do the proper object naming."
"One feature that we have been asking for has been to treat tests as code and store the source code for tests in a configuration management tool."
"The primary area for improvement is the support service."
"I would like Worksoft Certify to do automation at any layer (the UI layer, API layer, or database layer) and challenge competitors in the RPA industry, like UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"To improve or enhance Worksoft Certify in future releases, I believe integrating AI would be really great, as the market is moving towards AI. Additionally, features such as image recognition and more advanced OCR techniques could be developed further; currently, these features do exist, but they are not up to mark."
"3 out of 10 -- You submit an email, so there's not really a hotline that you can call to talk to somebody on the other end."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."
"We could use Certify to do robotic process automation, which is basically running a process on your correction system instead of your test system. Therefore, we may do that in the future."
"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."
"The initial upfront cost in terms of licenses, plus all the money that we spent developing tests, has proven it's worth. Now, we can do a regression test suite in ten days as opposed to sixteen weeks."
"We save probably 50 percent of our time. The tool does what it's supposed to do, and we are able to actually work."
"Saving money and better quality, these are the benefits of Certify."
"Worksoft Certify is priced higher than most tools."
"Automating our manual processes has saved us 70 to 80 percent in time."
"Worksoft Capture 2.0 can help our customers to accelerate their automation development at least 40 percent faster than any other commercial tools available in the market."
