An automation solution with good integration capabilities that needs to focus on providing an option for chain testing to its users

In our company, we need to maintain the scripts of the product daily, and in case of failures, we need to check out the scripts. I would recommend the product to those planning to use it based on both they are planning to build. If you are going for unit testing or small scripts, then you can go with SpecFlow. I don't have much experience with the solution. It is a good and straightforward product. It is also an easy-to-use and user-friendly product that can easily adapt to any framework. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

Can be used by non-developers, and saves us time, but the manual testing needs improvement

UiPath’s Test Suite manual testing doesn’t work for our organization based on how the QA Analysts do their manual testing and the artifacts that are needed for deployment. The QA Manager needs to track which tests have been completed, the success rate, and other relevant information. The ability to have manual tests show up in multiple projects is a requirement that is not easily done in Test Suite. We have submitted the following enhancements request to UiPath and are waiting for them to address these issues before migrating our manual testing to the UiPath Test Suite platform. * Ability to import manual test cases from an Excel Spreadsheet. * Ability to create release folders and have manual tests under the folders (sub-folders are also needed). * Ability to copy tests between projects (manual and automated). * Ability to execute manual test cases in any order and skip tests if needed. * Ability to assign and see who has been assigned to test cases – need to know who created the test case and who executed the test case as they could be different people. * Ability for the QA manager to see which test cases have been run and which haven’t as well as which ones were successful, and which weren’t. * Ability for the QA manager to track defect cycles for a particular release. * Improving Search functionality – must enter the exact test case name in current search functionality. * Ability to extract key data for artifacts for Release Management or Audit* Test Set or Individual Cases, * Include Test Results (passed / failed), * Include how many iterations a test case went through until it passed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of SpecFlow for us is its risk identification capabilities."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is unit testing...It is also an easy-to-use and user-friendly product that can easily adapt to any framework."

"The initial setup is easy."

"SpecFlow's best feature is the ability to add additional layers to the programming."

"We also don't develop test robots like typing codes; we program them with drag-and-drop features."

"The console, in a single pane, allows us to understand where we are in the testing environment."

"What I really like about UiPath Test Suite is its ability to ensure that any changes made do not affect other functionalities."

"It's useful for automating tasks."

"It's effective at testing whatever automation we've built or making sure the automation we've built is working fine."

"UiPath's most valuable features are reusability and low-code aspects. It works across both desktop and web applications."

"It has reduced all the deployment cycles of the automation solutions by forty percent."

"We could use it for Oracle and SAP and it did help significantly."

Cons

"SpecFlow's installation and configuration can be a bit challenging due to its flexibility as an open-source tool."

"I'd prefer in TFS if we could be writing test cases, not in the old classical version. We should be writing in Gherkin and then automatically have it convert that Gherkin test case into SpecFlow feature files."

"Regarding improvement, it would be good if SpecFlow could provide chain testing, which it currently doesn't allow."

"SpecFlow would be improved with the addition of functionality reporting, which would be really helpful for automation testing."

"There is room for improvement in terms of introducing framework compatibility. Many companies use test automation as an alternative to Selenium but need to develop a fully functional bot in UiPath to test on it, which is inefficient."

"Storing the test scripts is what needs to improve in the UiPath Test Suite, as it's currently a challenge to some extent. Maintaining the files is a bit challenging, especially when you need to keep those locally."

"Accessing the full functionality of the Test Suite manager, including the dashboard, requires a tenant license."

"Orchestrator is not easy to use or understand."

"UiPath’s Test Suite manual testing doesn’t work for our organization based on how the QA Analysts do their manual testing and the artifacts that are needed for deployment."

"We'd like to see the solution integrate with more code or local frameworks."

"With Selenium, there is a plugin called Healenium, which helps automatically detect changed properties of objects. With one click, it automatically updates the object repository with the changed properties. I would like UiPath to add that capability."

"Our primary application is built on Windows, so we've faced no significant challenges. However, I think mobile automation is one area where the solution still needs some work."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SpecFlow is an open-source product."

"SpecFlow is open-source and free of charge."

"The cost of a UiPath Test Suite license for five users is over $10,000 USD."

"It is a little bit more expensive than Selenium, but it provides value for money. There are multiple types of licenses such as the Test Suite license, Studio Pro license, Test Manager license, and Test Robot license. The overall cost estimation is 13,800 dollars."

"One robot license costs 1,500 euros."

"Its price is a bit high."

"Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."

"I am not aware of the exact cost. It seems reasonable, but it is an additional cost."

"When we decided to buy the solution three and a half years ago, it was fairly priced."

"UiPath Test Suite is a cost-effective solution. Orchestrator is the most expensive UiPath module, costing around $20,000, but you don't need to purchase Orchestrator to use Test Suite. You can buy a nonproductive version that costs about $2,400. It's a better value than other products I've seen."
