Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is that it's easy to launch applications. Appium has everything that Selenium has. So many good tools support Appium. We can take some Excel sheets and use them to fill out the text box that's in there. We can also take screenshots of failures."
"The automation part is extremely helpful in streamlining our processes."
"It runs completely flawlessly and seamlessly every day."
"The solution is stable."
"The library is extensive so the driver interacts with most functions or actions on mobile devices."
"We do not need to pay for the solution. It’s free."
"The most valuable feature of Appium is it supports iOS and AOS and is open-source."
"Obviously because of automation, it reduces manual testing efforts."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."
"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily."
"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you have previous experience with the solution, but it can be complicated for a novice user."
"Configuration-wise, there is a lot of room for improvement."
"The setup and installation were a problem for us at first."
"We previously worked with native applications, and there weren't any good mobile app testing tools. We started working with React Native, which works well with Appium, but it would be good to see better integration; the way elements are displayed can be messy. React Native is very popular nowadays, so it's essential to have that compatibility."
"There is always a concern about the amount of code that is required to enhance the automation process. The idea of having less code or no code is what we would like to see in future updates."
"It needs to accommodate applications that use React.js and AngularJS."
"One thing which can be really helpful is that there is some kind of a recorder made available rather than scripting everything."
"We haven't been able to fully leverage Appium for multiple reasons. I think number one is just that the tests take a long time to run. We have had some issues around just the results themselves and how predictable they are, but those are not issues with Appium directly."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
