Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."By using SNMP configurations and Excel, I was able to read the mail. I used this functionality to categorize the fabric, then I used this information to correlate the value to Jira along with Excel."
"It's easy to use for business users. Everything is good. It's a nice product."
"The capacity to use Automation Anywhere in the cloud is the most valuable feature."
"This product is easy to use, and it helps business users to more easily understand RPA."
"The Control Room is the most important feature, where we can manage the bots and publish to various bot runners in the environment."
"One thing I really like is the the recorder where you can connect with multiple systems. The OCR is also good."
"Automation Anywhere is stable."
"None of the commands are unique to Automation Anywhere, which allows beginners to leverage external knowledge."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"This company offers end-to-end capabilities for test suite creation and execution. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the tagging system. Tags are highly valuable, as they allow you to assign tags to your test cases. When there's an impact in a specific area, you can search for and run all test cases associated with that tag. I find this functionality very useful."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
"Automation Anywhere should improve its OCR command, as it's my observation that I have faced data loss or improper data being extracted."
"The process discovery side needs improvement."
"Automation Anywhere courses are a little bit complex to understand. You need a little bit more time, and accessibility is also a little bit of an issue."
"They have incorporated many latest technologies, such as AI, and there is always scope to improve the processes and have more stability."
"Regarding the UI, once you're on some of the screens there are fixed dialogues, they are a set size, so there's a lot of horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls. If I want to do something that is purely business-related and is somewhat complex to write or is nuanced, I sometimes have trouble implementing that inside of the Automation Anywhere script."
"The bot scaling process was painful, when you go beyond a few bots, and because we had stability issues. We had to work through the issues, and they took us a long time."
"If the option were available to use the old generic-style variable type, it would be helpful."
"The goal of any automation is to provide efficiencies... I would like a default feature where each bot gives us data on all the benefits it provides from its process."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options. For example, if a grid is used and it contains multiple controls within it, it can be a checkbox, radio button, or any kind of control, the way the Object Spy is operating currently there is a lot of room for improvement."
"The test object repository needs to be improved. The hierarchy and the way we identify the objects in different applications, irrespective of technology, needs adjustments. The located and test objects are not as flexible compared to other commercial tools."
"Stability issues occurred only when connecting to the SourceSafe. Sometimes, after getting the latest version, the tool hangs and it should be reopened in order to recover."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
