Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.

Quotes from Members

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

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The solution is stable."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application."
"A user interface is relatively simple to create."
"Oracle APEX is very easy to use and comes with a lot of ready-made components that speed up the process of creating reports and dashboards."
"By using Express, we are able to load the data and integrate it into our data map."
"It's stable and reliable for the most part."

Cons

"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement."
"The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly."
"There is one disadvantage. When facing problems, it can be difficult to find solutions online (Google/YouTube), unlike with Java coding, where solutions are readily available on Google."

It is very difficult to detect bugs or which bugs you are having when it comes to errors or which errors you have."
