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 solution is very easy to implement."
"Tasks now don't depend upon the unavailability of certain employees/colleagues to be completed. Also, bots can run all day long which also affects the overall budgets."
"One of the most valuable features is the error handler, as this command has helped me design bots that can handle multiple errors and exceptions."
"There is one user registration process in one application where there is no API which has been published by that framework. This is a very proprietary in one application by a third-party. So, there was a help desk, and whenever a call went to the help desk, they had a front-end where they created these user registrations. Now, this is completely automated for all employees who are onboarded. We receive the data, it is put it into Excel, and from Excel, it will update it into the particular tool where the registration happens."
"Automation Anywhere has significantly improved our organization's efficiency. Across various processes, we have achieved a 90% time savings for each use case, making our workflow much more streamlined and productive."
"Automation Anywhere has a uniqueness with respect to the IQ Bot."
"Automate Anywhere can just mimic what a human does."
"IQ Bot is a valuable feature. It processes unstructured data to structured data. It helps me by making tasks less time consuming. It reduces the effort it takes versus manually."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."
"There is an issue with the object cloning in Excel. OCR is also not that stable. Image recognition works fine, but not all the time."
"The ease of use and user experience for this solution could be improved."
"It is not able to use OCR effectively and has limited usability."
"I would like a better code migration solution, because this is something that we do a lot."
"Unwanted windows are popping up. We have to train a bot to recognize the window if it comes up, know what it is, and click it. If it is interrupting our bot, I just want to avoid that window, because I am getting failed logs."
"[They] should add more Analytics and Intelligence related capabilities."
"It would be helpful if we could start running a process from a particular step."
"PDF extraction and cognitive automation need improvement."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"Now we are having difficulties in using it and had to limit our automation experts to the features that Katalon allows us to use for free. It was free access and they claimed that it would be free for all time."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
