Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 18, 2024

Worksoft Certify and BrowserStack compete in the test automation and browser testing categories. Worksoft Certify has the upper hand in SAP integration and automation efficiency, while BrowserStack excels in cross-browser and device testing capabilities.

Features: Worksoft Certify offers parameter-driven action steps, lights-out testing, and a built-in framework with strong SAP integration. It supports various platforms such as Siebel, SAP, web-based, and terminal applications. Certify's ease of creating test cases with point-and-click features makes it user-friendly. BrowserStack provides comprehensive device and browser testing across multiple platforms, including features like geolocation testing, real-time debugging, and integration with automated testing frameworks. It supports a wide range of devices for thorough cross-platform testing.

Room for Improvement: Worksoft Certify could improve its web automation performance, user interface, and ease of version upgrades. Challenges with large script performance and technical support enhancements are needed. BrowserStack faces connectivity issues and lacks support for file uploads in mobile automation. Its high cost and some stability concerns remain areas for improvement.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Worksoft Certify is mainly deployed on-premises with some hybrid cloud options, and although customer service is decent, technical support experiences vary. BrowserStack is readily deployed on public cloud platforms, with users noting responsive customer service, despite some delay issues.

Pricing and ROI: Worksoft Certify's pricing is higher, using a traditional licensing model with significant ROI through reduced testing times. BrowserStack offers competitive pricing within its segment, cost-efficient especially for larger deployments, but is still deemed expensive by some users. Both products provide notable ROI, with Certify strong in long-term savings through automation.

Good in the area of automation and offers a high test coverage to users

I integrated BrowserStack into our company's web and application test workflows because it has plugins that work with browsers and applications, allowing for cross-browser testing. BrowserStack was really helpful for cross-browser testing in areas involving mobiles, web applications, or tablets. The tool can help with the testing across all applications. I have not experienced any time-saving feature from the use of the tool. My company uses the product for real-device testing since it has a bunch of devices in our library. My company has a repository where we do manual testing. BrowserStack improved the quality of our company's applications. Improvements I have seen with the testing part revolve around the fact that it is able to do testing at a fast pace. The quality of the product is better since it can go through all the parts of the applications, meaning it can provide high test coverage. The tool is also good in the area of automation. The test coverage is higher, and the time taken during the testing phase is less due to automation. I have not used the product's integration capabilities since my company doesn't have the option to look at other QA testing tools like Selenium, which can be used for the automation capabilities provided. The product should offer more support for cross-browser testing, device testing, and testing across multiple devices. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Powerful automation tool with a user-friendly interface, codeless automation, and adaptability to complex business processes, particularly in SAP environments

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Testing across devices and browsers without maintaining that inventory is invaluable."

"I've worked on testing integrations with BrowserStack, particularly with a platform called IT. This involves testing the registration process, including receiving verification codes on devices and phones. BrowserStack has been excellent for testing these integrations, providing a seamless workflow development experience."

"The main core concept behind this product is, it takes the overhead of maintaining all of your devices or particular computers. It continuously adds the latest devices that are coming into the market."

"It is a stable solution. There's no lagging and jittering."

"The integration is very good."

"The product guides and resources are extensive and very helpful."

"The speed of the solution and its performance are valuable."

"The most valuable feature is that it provides parallel and cross-browser testing. It enables us to run tests on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously."

More BrowserStack pros

"We found that Worksoft is easier to use because our business experts can do the tests. We didn't have to have IT experts."

"It's pretty seamless with SAP and Salesforce because they've built in the field definitions and all the things that you need. You literally turn it on and execute your script and it records it. It's very simple. Then you can go back and put in some of the other functions. For example, instead of hard-coding field selections, you put in a data table so you can run it multiple times or with multiple data. It was actually written to work very well with SAP."

"The most valuable feature is its time saving. Once development is complete, the short time that it takes to execute a test is invaluable. It saves a number of dollars and man-hours."

"Automation using Worksoft Certify has saved our testing times by 40% to 50%."

"One of the biggest advantages for this solution is codeless automation. Because it is codeless, you can train people within a couple of hours."

"We are mainly using it for the SAP application, and for the SAP application, if you don't have any experience with automation tools, after a few training sessions, you can easily automate the scripts. That's because no specific programming language is used. All resources that I have are specifically SAP resources. They are not from the automation background, but after gaining the knowledge, they are able to develop a script, or when there is any issue while doing regression testing, they are at least able to understand the issue, such as whether the issue is in the code or data."

"The scripting methodology is easy to learn. It is easy to maintain because it is presented in a simple, narrative way. You don't need to know programming." "It has reduced our test maintenance time by more than 50 percent because we don't have to do manual test processes. We have saved over 150 man-hours monthly. It has increased our delivery times. We went from 200 man-hours down (three weeks work time frame) to approximately 40 man-hours (three days work time frame)."

"Improvement means for us that we have to be better in quality. Due to automation, you can run every automated test case twice a week. If you do it manually, you do it once per release. This is a quality improvement."

More Worksoft Certify pros

Cons

"If you are inactive for 30 minutes, the solution will close."

"BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally."

"There is some stability issue in the product, making it in areas where improvements are required."

"There is room for improvement in pricing."

"Connectivity can sometimes mar the testing experience."

"One of the biggest issues with BrowserStack is that if you don't have your network set up by the book, it's hard to get it to work with local desk machines."

"Sometimes BrowserStack is really slow and devices are not loading. it is really annoying and that's why we bought several newer devices because sometimes it's affecting us a lot."

"We are struggling to do local testing."

More BrowserStack cons

"As part of our weekly regression, we wanted to use Execution Manager. However, from 2017 until March 2021, Execution Manager was not working as expected in our enrollment. It could have been better. If Execution Manager had worked well, then we could have doubled our productivity. Unfortunately, it had problems."

"One feature that we have been asking for has been to treat tests as code and store the source code for tests in a configuration management tool. Right now, for version control of testing, it's all internally within the tool. If we have a test of a business process and want to revive that test, our methodology now is purely manual work. We go into the tool, create a copy of the existing test, and call the next one: v2. Now, we have two of them and the only way you can tell them apart is by its naming convention."

"I would like Worksoft Certify to do automation at any layer (the UI layer, API layer, or database layer) and challenge competitors in the RPA industry, like UiPath and Automation Anywhere."

"We can use it for the web application, but we are facing stability-related challenges. The properties are getting changed. For example, when I am performing any operation on the text box but the development team has done some changes, our Worksoft scripts are getting changed. This is the main challenge that we are facing while developing tests for the web application in Worksoft Certify, where any changes in the backend are indirectly impacting our scripts. For the web application, there is a scarcity of resources. Unlike an SAP application that doesn't require much experience, for the web application, you require experienced people."

"Worksoft Certify's support team should respond more promptly when we are stuck with certain issues and looking for a solution."

"Web UI testing was difficult in the beginning, as we had a homegrown product, and we had to do the proper object naming."

"We have had run ins with some bugs on Business Process Procedure (BPP) and Execution Manager."

"We can't get the process intelligence module to work properly. We can't get the impact comment that analyzes the incoming development code to run, either. We've also had bugs in the CTM and execution manager in the past year. It took technical support a long time to resolve this issue. We escalated it so that the vice president of the company was included as well."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are different licenses available that can be customized. You can select the features that you want only to use which can be a cost-benefit."

"Compared to other solutions, BrowserStack is one of the cheapest."

"This solution costs less than competing products."

"BrowserStack could have a better price, but good things have a price."

"The price of BrowserStack is high."

"My company found the product's license to be very compatible with our budget, and we pay 5,000 to 10,000 per year for licenses."

"As for pricing, I can't provide a clear evaluation as I'm not directly involved in those discussions."

"The price is fine."

"Worksoft has paid for itself fives times over."

"In general, they changed their license model. Before you had to buy licenses for each component, and now they changed it so you can buy a license and use it for nearly all their applications."

"If we do one manual process, it could take approximately two hours. The same process using Worksoft probably takes ten minutes."

"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Worksoft Certify."

"We save probably 50 percent of our time. The tool does what it's supposed to do, and we are able to actually work."

"We have seen that the initial Worksoft implementation has helped our customers reduce their testing cycle time by 50 percent. With further continuous improvement, we have seen cycle time reduced up to 75 percent. That is the level of productivity achieved using Worksoft Certify."

"On our last big SAP implementation project, we inserted an automation resource into the beginning of the project. Between automating regression processes, data staging, and using our automation to help repair cutover and conversion issues. We saved the project about $1,700,000."

"We've saved over 80 percent in time savings."
