Scripting is good, it's stable, and customer service is responsive
Pros and Cons
  • "Scripting with the solution is good."
  • "The solution needs to improve reporting. Currently, there is not enough automation involved with the feature. For example, there should be an automatic way of saving reports."

What is our primary use case?

I am using the solution for load, endurance, and performance testing.

What is most valuable?

Scripting with the solution is good.

What needs improvement?

The solution needs to improve reporting. Currently, there is not enough automation involved with the feature. For example, there should be an automatic way of saving reports. I have also found the recording should be improved too. When you are entering a launch in the controller the recording request should be inside it. Lastly, if they could make the technology better in terms of speed, this would help us.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for two months.

User friendly Java tool, but doesn't support SSL recording or non-web apps

Valuable Features:

1. GUI is very user friendly 2. It's a pure Java tool, which enables me to run it on any platform (i.e. platform independent) 3. Free tool & easy to get.

Room for Improvement:

1. It does not support recording SSL 2. Supports only web based applications 3. Cannot change the recorded scripts
