Find out in this report how the two Test Automation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The scalability of the product is good."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"The functionality of the data is very good. You can upload and disperse data using the solution."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"The most valuable of this solution is the no code option. It offers drag and drop when it comes to development and removes the need for a developer."
"It provides automated testing. Instead of us doing manual testing, we can utilize Leapwork, and it tests most of our critical processes. In the next phase, we also plan to do some process work with it, such as using Leapwork to create reports or provide certain extracts of data."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"One improvement would be if it could support more programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Right now, it is only on Groovy, which I think is not a too popular language."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"Katalon Studio could improve having visual testing, but I think they're launching that feature very soon. We would like to see an increase in the usage of AI."
"It is a very comprehensive tool, and there is a significant learning curve to being able to adopt the tool. Because it does so much, there is only so much that you can learn. You can, however, do some simpler things right away. They do have a kind of boot camp where some of their experts engage with you, and during that time, you can work on the top initiatives that you want to do, and that's a good process. After you start using the tool, there is a lot more that you would want to do."
"The only thing that I don't like about the product is the need to deploy agents on the laptops of people doing the testing. So, you have an agent on a server, then you have an agent on the laptop of the person who is doing the testing, and that seems like a lot of stuff and a kind of anti-cloud. Why do I have to deploy agents on people's machines in order to do something in the cloud? I'm sure they're doing that so they can monitor their licensing and all that stuff, but it is not necessarily a friendly process."
"The initial setup is difficult."
"This solution could be improved by offering better reporting related to the integration into Azure DevOps."
