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.

Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet
There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"For a few years, OATS was the only tool that allowed us to load test our Computer Telephone Integration (CTI) with Siebel."
"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."
"I can organize test scripts pretty well."
"This is the best tool I have used till today as it allows us to handle automation in variety of ways."
"Implementation of Oracle Application Testing Suite package has increased the overall efficiency."
"Has good automation and load-testing capabilities."
"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."
"With a small team of one onshore person and three offshore people, I was able to show the value of $90,000 savings for a project as a POC and the customer is currently using this tool for several other projects in their organization after seeing the ROI for one project."
"If you are looking for an automation tool that is easy to implement, easy to understand, and works with most of technologies on the market, Ranorex is the appropriate solution for you."
"Customer Service: Ranorex’s customer service is outstanding."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool, where when you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures the test case steps and the next time you can replay the tool so the flow automatically happens again."
"By using this product, we have been able to explore some more advanced strategies in developing our automation which has been able to carry over to other automation teams."
"Support is very quick; you can write to them and on the same day they will respond, and this is one of the best features."
"It's improved our company in a numbers of ways, but most importantly it helps us save time and the report preparation is nice and easy."
"It has reduced the cost of production and operations."
 

Cons

"The tool runs out of memory when the recording flows are long and involve many screens despite increasing the memory settings for OpenScript."
"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."
"OATS has some promising features that frankly we wish we could utilize, but so far we haven’t had much luck doing so."
"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."
"I would rate their technical support 2.5 out of ten."
"I would like to see better dashboards."
"There are certain bugs which were present but was cleared in subsequent releases of application, but still there is room for improvement in the Functionality testing tool when automating form-based applications."
"I have proposed few suggestions to them in the product improvement area."
"With the new version of Chrome, some objects are identified differently, so we need to identify those and fix the x-path of the object."
"It needs a better connection to TFS."
"We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier."
"I would definitely say that the existing documentation of their API has a lot of room for improvement."
"There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman."
"The current version of Ranorex Studio IDE is based on an old version of SharpDevelop IDE (3.2), but this is going to change soon (planned update to SharpDevelop 4.x)."
"It would be nice to have a way to indicate the coverage of the tests of the application."
