Worksoft Certify Reviews

I have experience with Continuous Test Manager for running tests across complex environments, and we have performed continuous integration with other tools where we are able to perform nightly runs across multiple machines and create scheduled test runs and get the results back using Worksoft.

Dynamic identification and scriptless automation is one of the features that I definitely appreciate in Worksoft, mainly in both Tricentis Tosca and Worksoft. Along with that, working on multiple SAP screens and having sub-processes and having the layouts and record sets helped a lot in maintaining the test data in a more effective way.

The main benefit that Worksoft Certify provides for me as an end user is scriptless automation, which is very important because there is no coding involved in it. The maintenance of the scripts is very simple, and I do not have to do a lot of maintenance of the test scripts once the scripts are created successfully. The maintenance is low, and the data maintenance is easy. Along with that, I can work on multiple applications and switch between applications effectively using this tool.

We can perform reporting at the time of execution from Worksoft, but we have to do a slight customization for it. We created our own custom reports using Excel and reporting and we were able to get the results as needed.

I have used some AI-powered test prioritization, and I feel that comparing with other tools, it can be improved more in Worksoft. There is a lot of scope for improvement in that area.

In terms of process documentation in Worksoft, we are able to recognize a majority of the objects using the business capture feature, which was good. I do not face any major challenges with it, apart from a few things like challenges with respect to performing drag and drop operations.

For points of improvement for Worksoft Certify, the first point is AI, the second one is technical support, and I feel that the UI improvements on Worksoft Certify over the last 11 years have been comparatively low compared to the competition in the market right now. There can be improvement in the execution duration, as the scripts take a bit more time in execution compared to other tools available.

I have been working with Worksoft Certify for almost 11 years since 2014.

I understand that the majority of the automations are stable. From one to ten, I would rate stability for Worksoft Certify around eight out of ten.

I would rate scalability eight regarding the ability to scale and expand.

I rate technical support from Worksoft around six out of ten.

In my personal opinion, I prefer Tricentis Tosca when comparing Worksoft Certify and Tricentis Tosca. Many customers prefer Tricentis Tosca over Worksoft depending on their requirements, while some depend on the cost and pricing. As a practitioner of automation tools, I work on multiple automation tools like Panaya, Tricentis Tosca, Worksoft Certify, accelQ, and others, and we choose the tool based on the customer's requirement. However, I can see improvements going faster in competitive tools compared to Worksoft, which is what they have to improve on.

The initial setup for Worksoft is comparatively simple, and I can say it is around moderate. A person with basic knowledge can start working on Worksoft compared to other automation tools where a lot of knowledge is needed.

Worksoft Certify is deployed on-premises where I was using it, and I think it can be implemented in the cloud as well. I am currently working on the on-premises version combined with Tosca. I confirm that I am currently using Worksoft Certify and Tosca totally on-premises.

Regarding how Worksoft Certify impacts regression cycle time, we have a huge regression suite of around eight thousand plus test cases, and we are able to complete it within two to three days based on the time and duration that the execution happens. Previously, it used to take more than a week, and now it is happening in less than two days. We are trying to achieve it in one day, but as of now, we are doing it in two days.

I would rate the pricing for Worksoft Certify as moderate and competitive, and I do not mark it as high. In my opinion, it is reasonable money for that solution.

Overall, I would say around eight out of ten is my final rating for Worksoft Certify, and definitely there is some room for improvement.

We automate SAP applications and SAP Fiori using Worksoft Certify. We perform automation for SAP Fiori with simple test cases, such as creation of sales orders and STOs. We primarily focus on web application automation.

The record sets in Worksoft Certify are my favorite feature. They are very flexible for our needs.

I have tried using the Business Capture feature in Worksoft Certify. I think Business Capture is the first step or the basic step to build scripting. It is somewhat easy to capture the objects and to build the scripts. It is somewhat helpful. Similarly, we have XScan in Tosca, which is a scanning tool. It will be very helpful in the scripting and development parts.

The downside of Worksoft Certify is related to loops and conditions. It is somewhat complex compared to other tools I have worked with. If I want to implement some conditions, it looks somewhat complex to me. Perhaps it is because of my experience with Certify, but I faced some difficulty in building the conditions. When creating multiple test cases using the libraries with the same data, instead of building multiple test cases, we can use the record set, which is fine. However, if you want to use conditions, such as if-else loops or while loops in the RTBs, it looks somewhat difficult. That is what I remember.

In my four years in my career, I used Worksoft Certify for one year, and then one year back, I used it for another year.

I have not seen any stability issues. It is a good tool.

For the scalability aspect of Worksoft Certify, I would rate it four out of five. You can scale.

Most of the things would be handed over by my lead when it comes to contacting the technical support or customer support.

Neutral

I have used Tosca, which is somewhat similar to Worksoft Certify as a no-coding, scanning-based tool.

I worked more on Tosca, which is the reason I favor it more. Tosca is my favorite compared to Worksoft Certify.

Deployment of Worksoft Certify is somewhat easy. I came in the middle of the project, so I am not aware of the details about the deployment. We use Azure for the test management tool. I am not sure about all the specifics. It is somewhat easy once I learned everything. Theoretically, it is easy.

Worksoft Certify itself will take leadership for the maintenance.

I have not used any AI-powered test prioritization or AI-powered tools within Certify. I did not get that good an amount of opportunity. In the early part of my project, I did only executions. Then after about six months, I started scripting. It was a support project, so I did not get a chance to explore everything.

To be honest, I did not recall everything about the Continuous Testing Manager in Worksoft Certify. It has been a one-year gap, and I worked on multiple automations. All the knowledge is fading. My overall review rating for this product is eight out of ten.

Our main use case for Worksoft Certify is front-end automation, and we're also looking at offline testing where we can leave Worksoft Certify running while we go offline, so there's continuous testing.

I am not the day-to-day user myself, but many members of my team are.

We're getting good value from continuous testing management, and the fact that it's also codeless is valuable. It requires minimal to no coding at all, helping to ramp up the knowledge for our testers. I've not heard of any issues related to integration from our team.

Based on my colleagues' feedback, there are still some minor issues concerning continuous testing, particularly related to the timeout feature. Overall, we don't have major issues with it. We are satisfied with the functionality part.

I have been working with Worksoft Certify for a couple of years.

It's stable. I would rate it a nine out of ten for stability. 

I would rate the scalability of Worksoft Certify a nine out of ten. We are an enterprise company. It covers companies of all sizes.

Their technical support is responsive, which is good, and their solutions are timely. We just had a couple of instances that took a bit longer, but overall, we are satisfied.

Positive

The initial setup is not so complex, but it still needs some work. Overall, it's pretty easy and straightforward. Our deployment model is hybrid.

I am not certain which competitors Worksoft Certify has on the market, but Selenium is always present. Additionally, a few AI-driven automation tools are emerging.

We are not using any AI integration with Worksoft Certify yet, but I think they are coming up with AI-supported features.

I can definitely recommend it to other users. I would rate Worksoft Certify a nine out of ten.

My current use case for Worksoft Certify is mainly for test automation with SAP.

Worksoft Certify helps in reducing regression cycle time because manual testing takes substantial time and can lead to errors. With Worksoft Certify, it will definitely help reduce resources as time and ROI will also increase.

I have used Continuous Testing Manager (CTM) to run some tests, and it is based on lights-out testing, which helps significantly with overnight execution. CTM is effective for managing the testing process because it is helpful; you don't have to sit in front of the machine and see the execution, as you can schedule the executions and see the results.

Worksoft Certify is a no-code tool that works effectively with SAP, and I appreciate all the features compared to other tools.

Teams who are planning for automation and are still in manual testing can use Worksoft Certify, and significant time and resources will be reduced.

Reporting for Worksoft Certify is also excellent; we have the BPP reports customized, and recently WRS has been implemented, so all these features are beneficial.

If any AI-powered features are included, that would be great. We've already seen the beginning of self-healing capabilities, but additional integrations with AI would be beneficial. Focusing more on AI and its integration with Worksoft would really help enhance our processes.

I have been working with Worksoft Certify for more than 12 years.

For stability, I would rate Worksoft Certify a nine out of ten.

For scalability, I would rate it as the best.

I would rate their technical support a nine out ten. I am satisfied with it.

Positive

The setup process for Worksoft Certify is quite easy; it requires just installation to use it. I have worked in many different environments, including both on-premises and cloud options such as AWS.

We purchased Worksoft Certify through a partner because we are a vendor.

I would rate the pricing for the product as reasonable. As it is a quality tool, the price is slightly higher, but that is acceptable compared to other tools, especially considering the ROI.

I can compare Worksoft Certify with Selenium, as we need to write code in Selenium but not in Worksoft Certify, and other tools such as Katalon Studio can also be compared with Worksoft Certify.

Overall, I would rate Worksoft Certify a nine out of ten.

We primarily used Worksoft Certify to automate SAP applications, and it is also well suited for web application automation as well.

Worksoft Certify has improved in many places in my organization, mainly in automating SAP applications. It helped reduce manual testing efforts and it's minimizing the chances of human error. Its well suited to automate both SAP and web applications made it highly adaptable to our needs. With its integration into our Agile and continuous testing workflows, we were able to deliver faster and with greater confidence. Overall, it has enhanced the efficiency and quality of our testing process.

SAP objects don’t usually change much, but I found the dynamic object identification really helpful for web apps as well as SAP like after upgrade when something is changes. It helps keep the scripts stable and saves time on maintenance.

From my experience, Worksoft Certify is a good tool for automating SAP, and it also works fine with web apps. But while creating or running scripts, we do face some automation abort issues, which break the flow and need rework. Also, sometimes it feels a bit slow, especially when running more scripts together. If the speed and stability can be improved, that would really help. We are using CTM for scheduling and managing runs it’s useful, but there’s still some scope to improve things like live monitoring and checking results more easily.

I have been using Worksoft Certify for three and a half years.

From what I’ve seen, it scales well. We started with fewer scripts and later added more without issues, especially with CTM handling the runs. But yeah, we need to plan properly to manage the load smoothly.

Customer service and support were good overall. I’d rate it around 80% based on my experience.

Positive

I have only experience with Worksoft Certify itself, so I'm not completely aware of other products for comparison.

Yeah, the setup and license cost is a bit high as per I known but if you’re working mostly on SAP, it’s worth it definitely. You just need to plan based on your project and how much you’ll use it.

I can perfectly recommend this product to others because Worksoft Certify is very user-friendly and we can easily automate the test cases. I would be interested in being a reference for Worksoft. The vendor can contact me if they have any questions about my review. I rate Worksoft Certify eight to nine out of ten overall.

It serves as our primary automation tool, specifically utilized for testing purposes. The tool predominantly finds application in functional testing and integration testing for our customers.

The tool itself is highly effective, especially when it comes to comprehensibility for newcomers. Even during the initial learning phase, I found it remarkably user-friendly. It facilitates quick onboarding and training of new resources. It offers features for building automation scripts, such as search and certify capture. A notable advantage is that it doesn't rely on other tools like Micro Focus UFT or Micro Focus ALM for script execution. Worksoft can run independently without the need for support from Microsoft Office, although the option to use it for maintaining data exists. The tool also includes debugging features and comprehensive reporting capabilities, generating PDF reports for easy analysis.

The primary area for improvement is the support service. The support process can be time-consuming, with tickets sometimes remaining unresolved even after considerable follow-up. Also, it doesn't offer a training or trial version for users to explore the tool before committing. Enhancing direct connectivity between radio and Worksoft Certify would streamline and improve efficiency. Although there are YouTube videos for specific features, the Worksoft community lacks corresponding content. This has been a common concern among users who find information on YouTube but struggle to locate it on their community portal.

I have been working with it for over eight years now.

I would rate its stability capabilities eight out of ten. Stability concerns are significant in automation, especially when dealing with new applications or features. Challenges arise in assessing the feasibility of automation without adequate support.

I would rate the scalability ten out of ten. At the moment, we are involved in four distinct projects out of the overall portfolio, which consists of around thirty projects. The focus is primarily on high-scale business initiatives.

While having a partner with dedicated support can help in critical situations, as a customer, the overall support experience might not always meet expectations. It often involves multiple calls and explanations to various teams across different locations, making it a bit cumbersome. I would rate it six out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup was straightforward. I would rate it nine out of ten.

The deployment typically takes one to two weeks. The first step involves setting up the database, determining the server specifications, and installing the servers based on the specific requirements and data activities of the project.

While I acknowledge that it's a good tool, the challenges with support are notable. Despite the tool's excellence and the introduction of new features, the ground-level implementation should align with the promised benefits. In comparison to other tools in the market, some offer superior support and features. However, it's worth noting that it remains one of the best tools for learning, especially for users who might not have many alternatives. Overall, I would rate it ten out of ten.

Worksoft Certify is an automation tool used for functional testing.

Worksoft Certify Mostly is an easy-to-learn tool and does not require any extensive training. It is easy to record and play this tool. Anybody can learn and start working on the solution. As per industry standards, Worksoft Certify is the first choice for SAP applications. It has a lot of built-in objects and repositories for SAP applications.

The solution's support could be improved. Worksoft Certify's support team should respond more promptly when we are stuck with certain issues and looking for a solution. They have been helpful so far, but quick conversations can happen if they function within the timelines.

Worksoft Certify has already come up with a new tool, a continuous testing manager for lights-out testing. It's good that they are working in those areas to develop new tools to support the lights-out testing. Worksoft Certify should also try to develop some solutions that can be more beneficial for non-SAP applications, like web-based automation or Excel-based automation. Worksoft Certify can be made more robust in those areas.

I have been using Worksoft Certify for four years.

I rate Worksoft Certify a seven out of ten for stability.

Worksoft Certify is a scalable solution. I rate Worksoft Certify a seven out of ten for scalability.

Worksoft Certify is priced higher than most tools. I rate Worksoft Certify an eight out of ten for pricing.

Different solutions are available per the client's needs, but I still recommend Worksoft Certify as the number one or number two choice for SAP-based applications. For EPC and SAP, Worksoft Certify would be the first go-to choice.

Overall, I rate Worksoft Certify an eight out of ten.

We use the solution in pharmacy and retail.

We focus on automation solutions for SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce. Worksoft Certify is developed and designed to support these platforms. It matches what we want to achieve, providing capabilities in process mining and generating process documentation from these cases. Additionally, it can create RPA bots to execute tasks in production, making it a meaningful tool.

Worksoft developed a tool to support ERP testing. All prebuilt functions are good at steering the application when the test is executed.

Some features are missing from a testing perspective. You need to know how to connect everything to create requirements and stability metrics for the routine.

I rate the solution’s stability a seven out of ten.

You can scale it as you want. Just install it properly. It is suitable for enterprise customers.

I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.

The initial setup is easy and can be completed in two days. The team provided good support. 

I rate the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. 

They conducted marketing research through some external agencies, which reported an ROI of 583% over a five-year period. This is quite significant. You don't need people to edit test cases manually; instead, it creates and runs tests automatically whenever you wish, even after working hours or at any time.

The tool is worth the money.

The usability of test cases and running tests overnight is a definite advantage of Worksoft Certify. This provides great visibility into the process. One notable feature of Worksoft Certify is its support for SAP migration. For example, it fully supports SAP migrations. Many customers use ECC, which is becoming a legacy and must migrate to SAP S/4HANA. You can create your test cases in ECC and run them later in S/4HANA. It saves a lot of time. Additionally, you can perform parallel testing to ensure that the new functionality implemented in S/4HANA matches the legacy system.

I recommend Worksoft Certify because of its stability. The company has been in business for almost thirty years, maintaining the same customer base. They have a substantial portfolio and extensive experience, contributing to their reliability and effectiveness.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
