Michael Hutchison

Web Specialist at Mayo Clinic

Static screenshots are the feature most often used, because they are a simple method of detecting problems

The screenshot tool defaults to a screen layout instead of a full page test. I find it a bit cumbersome that I can't have it run a full screenshot as my default. Every time, I have to select the full screen, then restart its captures, which seems a waste of time and energy. This is, admittedly, a minor complaint.

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy

Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The CrossBrowserTesting Selenium API and live test features have greatly improved our team's ability to quickly and effectively perform QA."

"Record and Replay is the most used functionality for us, as we can record the test cases and play them on multiple combinations of platforms."

"CBT has made it easier to troubleshoot issues across devices when we do not have actual access to those specific devices. I even opt for CBT sometimes when we do have access to the device just because it is easier."

"The features that I find most useful and the ones that I use the most are local site testing, device and browser testing, and screenshots."

"When I started to work on testing automation, I was very excited about how easy it is to run tests on different browsers. It was just a matter of configuration."

"The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."

"It was the perfect solution that saved us time and money to perform web viewing tests on real devices, which allowed our team to correct multiple failures in devices."

"Each new session started with the live testing feature allows for a cleared browser and new experience to be able to not only see these attributes on the page clearly but also pass clean data."

More CrossBrowserTesting pros

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."

"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."

"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."

"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."

"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature."

"Has good automation and load-testing capabilities."

Cons

"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."

"A problem that we are facing quite often is related to the network connection. Tests can fail if the remote CrossBrowserTesting's VM has connection problems. This happens mostly with browsers of Internet Explorer family which work on Windows OS."

"The screenshot tool defaults to a screen layout instead of a full page test. I find it a bit cumbersome that I can't have it run a full screenshot as my default."

"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."

"Being able to test on real devices via the virtual connection is wonderful, but it can cause some lag and load time issues while testing."

"The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation."

"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."

"We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve."

More CrossBrowserTesting cons

"I would like to see better dashboards."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."

"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

"Licensing policies could be more intuitive."

"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."

"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."

"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."

"A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."

"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."

"The lowest price point is very reasonable. It is also useful if only one person in the company needs to check on the browser display."

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
