Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability. I spoke with Inflectra's executive account rep on the need to expand the tool's ability. The problem with Inflectra Rapise is that a lot of companies are still using SAP GUI. Inflectra has no intention of building Rapise in a way that allows it to interact with SAP GUI. Inflectra Rapise has very limited value for the companies I work with because they they still use SAP GUI since their top priority is SAP testing, and they want to get into automation, for which they need a tool that cannot only used to automate processes, but can also do end-to-end testing where you are not only using SAP GUI, but you are using the interface with old legacy systems that are still in use or with today's more modern technologies.

In the future, the tool needs to increase its versatility. If I am at a company that uses 23 different technologies, like .NET Visual Basic, Oracle, SQL, or whatever, Inflectra Rapise needs to be made as a product that is an out-of-the-box usable tool for any technology.

The solution is integrated well with the Spira Team. Even so, it would be good if there could be more integration of Inflectra Rapise, since not all customers use the same tool for test management and automation integration. We would have better results were we offered a wider range of options for integration. Even though the product has good integration, a little more would be better, such as with, for example, Rational and Solman solutions in SAP. While we managed to fix the problem, a native solution would be preferred.

• Only support Java Script – Should have at least an option to use two languages (TestComplete gives 5 and Ranorex gives two)
• Mobile testing is still basic and requires Appium installed
• Built in compare files functionality
• Keyword test approach is preferable to their script approach
• Soap Testing Support

When there are failures in a nightly run of batches of scripts, it can create a blocking situation where all the following scripts will fail due to unexpected results. This can take a little time refine your test cases to ensure all application pages get closed out before starting the next set of test scripts.

The maintenance is very difficult. We've only been using the platform for three months, so I'm not sure if that will continue, but right now it's an observation I've had.

The solution needs to improve its compatibility with other solutions.

What I have noticed about Rapise is that sometimes when you keep on using the same script, it fails many times. The other thing that can be improved is being able to play the script by setting the start point from anywhere in the script. When recording date-of-birth in the following format, 12/06/2015, and use tab to go to another text box, this messes up the script because of the way it records dates. I think that could be improved.

I faced one problem where it can't validate the colour of images and text. Also, it could not automate the mobile app, and this needs to be included.
