"What we like the most is that it integrates with UC."
"We don't find any features lacking. One of the most beneficial points we have from LoadRunner is we start sizing our infrastructure accordingly. So what we do is when we deploy a new workload, we do performance testing."
"My favorite feature in LoadRunner Professional is its ability to group scripts under separate IDs."
"The tool's most valuable features are scripting and automation."
"I think that analytics is very good and that the analytics features are very powerful."
"LoadRunner is a very systematic tool for anyone to use. Even someone who is actually a first time user of LoadRunner can actually get a lot of benefit out of the tool."
"LoadRunner is a very sophisticated tool, and I can use many languages. For example, I can use Java. I can use C++. I can test the Internet of Things, FTP, mail, and Active Directory. It is very useful."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."
"This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"The solution is very costly. The cost is very high, especially considering a lot of other resources are available now and they are less expensive. For a small organization, it is very difficult to sustain the costs involved in having the solution or the related fees"
"The only scenario we see a complexity is when we have single-page applications where JavaScript is talking to the server and coming back. That's the only scenario where we find some difficulties."
"The product is pretty heavy and should be more lightweight."
"Licensing costs could be reduced."
"The reporting and GUI have room for improvement."
"The solution lacks some form of integration."
"The technical support of Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional could improve. I had an issue with the licensing and their response time is slow. They can improve on this in the future."
"The debugging capability should be improved."
"One thing to improve in Tricentis Tosca is that it's not compatible with Excel based forms. Another area for improvement is that the tool is not compatible with OpenText applications. The support and licensing cost for it also need improvement. The tool also needs cloud support, as it's currently on-premises only."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"The product is not very stable when used with cloud storage. It is very hard to load the screen, making it difficult to use the tool in cloud storage."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
