Pros & Cons summary

Perfecto offers cross-platform testing on various devices, enhancing software quality with automated testing and detailed reports. Its scalability and cloud-based capabilities reduce IT costs and reliance on physical devices. Features like video execution aid in troubleshooting. However, Perfecto lacks full integration with test tools, shows performance issues with iOS apps, and needs improvements in accessibility and monitoring. Additionally, test execution flakiness and cloud lab responsiveness require improvement.

Prominent pros & cons

PROS

Perfecto supports a wide range of devices, allowing comprehensive testing across all operating system versions.

Automated testing is highly valued for its ability to streamline processes and accommodate frequent updates.

The video execution feature enables teams to view and analyze errors from beginning to end, enhancing the debug process.

Cross-platform testing is robust, offering seamless execution across multiple devices without connectivity issues.

Perfecto's mobile testing capabilities reduce the need for physical devices, facilitating offshore work and cutting infrastructure costs.

CONS

Integration with other test management tools is incomplete, particularly with HPLM, Micro Focus, or Microsoft Azure.

Performance issues need improvement, especially for web testing and mobile testing speed.

Onsite integration with JIRA is not currently supported, which presents a challenge for those using it.

Accessibility testing remains manual, with no built-in capability for iOS, requiring cumbersome engineering efforts.

There is a need for automation in listing available devices, as this currently requires a manual process.

I also like the reporting functions. We are constantly downloading these reports and sharing them with our final customers. They help us understand what kind of bugs are happening through the applications. The recording feature is handy because it lets us see a video of the process we run through the pipeline and discover the point at which the automation is breaking.

It creates a faster production cycle and is quick to market. Things get deployed earlier because the testing happens on time. We can do a lot of panelization, so a lot of test phases can happen in a panel. People don't have to wait for a device to come to them. They can access multiple devices at the same time and do testing at the same time.

The automated test reporting functionality is the most valuable feature. We use the CI Dashboard. It's very important as it is the main reporting tool for our automated tests.

We are able to offer a quality product that has been tested fully, which improves our customer satisfaction. That is a good thing. It has also reduced our IT infrastructure cost. We don't have to spend a lot on setting up infrastructure, which becomes redundant or obsolete very soon. It helps in offsetting that cost.

The automation piece is the most valuable feature. Every time we had a new version of either OS or an application, we found that being able to automate the testing across different devices is very valuable.

Perfecto has affected our software quality in a good way. It has allowed us to execute on-demand and on-choice. We also track the number of issues that we find in the product. Every single day, we tag the issues that we found. For example, if something was found by automation, that means it was found by a Perfecto execution. Over time, we realized the real value in tracking those numbers. We can see now that we have clearly been finding issues earlier. It has allowed us to catch our defects earlier, thus improving the quality of our applications.

The number one feature, which if we didn't have out-of-the-box would be missed, is the fact that we have video execution. That gives us the ability to view errors or defects in the progression, from beginning to the end of the video.

In terms of Perfecto's ability to perform cross-platform testing, I would rate it a ten out of ten.

It saves on the cost and effort of having to maintain our own virtual testing environment. Even our onshore team is not in the city that we work in, so that helps a lot. Even if we didn't invest a lot in getting multiple devices, having to share those devices would become a hassle.

In terms of cross-platform testing, they offer all of it, every device available in the market. It covers real scenarios that mimic production so that we don't miss out on any devices that our clients might be using to run the applications we develop. It's been great and very helpful.

It would be nice if there were some kind of AI to compile a list of available devices. Currently, we have to look at the web interface to see the available devices, but the pipelines can't do it on their own there. We always need to do this manually, so it would be better if this feature were automated.

There could be some improvements done on the interface. At times, there has been a bit of a struggle when finding things on the interface. A UI revamp would be a better option in future. That UI hasn't changed much in a long time, so I think they could just make it a bit better so that people could find stuff easily and intuitively.

The flakiness, or the accuracy, of the test execution can be improved. Also, the responsiveness of their cloud lab could be improved as well.

Going by the dashboard or analytics capabilities that Perfecto or Perforce is looking to offer in its roadmap, it will certainly help if they also cater to executing and enabling decision-making, rather than just focusing on standard testing metrics such as execution, efficiency, and defect rate. These are good metrics, but they don't necessarily enable decision-making for SLTs. Any improvements in the dashboards and reporting tools should focus on metrics or SLAs that can help with decision-making.

We don't use Perforce's BlazeMeter with Perfecto. From my perspective, it's not really relevant.

One improvement would be speed of execution. If it is an iOS native app, we have noticed that the speed is a bit slower. Perfecto might need to make some improvements in this area.

We've had a couple of issues lately with videos not loading or browsers dying after some execution, although that happens very rarely.

There was a discussion about having the capability to export the test results to a certain tool that we use in our project. If that were added it would be great not having to manually take screenshots, put them in a document, and share them on the different test management tools.

I'm hoping that Perfecto will come up with browser testing as well because it would be easier to access it.
