We performed a comparison between Appium and Worksoft Certify based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The solution is stable."
"We develop apps using the React Native framework, and Appium integrates well for testing those apps. The Appium automation framework also has good integration with GitHub Actions and plenty of other tools and frameworks, including BrowserStack."
"Obviously because of automation, it reduces manual testing efforts."
"Appium provides a record-and-play option, and the commands are the same as those that Selenium uses. So a person who has some exposure to Selenium will be able to write a piece of code in Appium."
"It has great documentation and excellent community support."
"Appium has easy interaction with mobile."
"It's an open-source solution with a very large community and available documentation."
"The library is extensive so the driver interacts with most functions or actions on mobile devices."
"We found that Worksoft is easier to use because our business experts can do the tests. We didn't have to have IT experts."
"It is a huge improvement, as it recognizes complex general applications, where most tools won't recognize the objects within them."
"Worksoft Certify Mostly is an easy-to-learn tool and does not require any extensive training."
"Certify's web UI testing abilities for testing of modern applications like SAP Fiori was good when we started and they developed it to be even better. We all know that web applications can change objects in DOM quite fast and it breaks tests. To counter it Certify has made object recognition more flexible and generic, so we don't have any troubles."
"It helps us to implement automation testing as part of most projects, so the need for manual testing can be reduced. This really accelerates the testing process as a whole. Before, where it could take ten days to test a project, now it takes only one or two days to do the complete testing."
"People who don't have coding knowledge are capable of doing automation with Certify. It reduces coding and scripting dependencies."
"It's module based and it's giving functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to automate quickly and to maintain and update scripts."
"Configuration-wise, there is a lot of room for improvement."
"The tool needs to add a dependency manager."
"The user interface needs improvement because there are issues when setting up environment variables."
"Appium could improve by enabling record and run techniques similar to what they have in other licensing tools, such as Micro Focus. We have to all write the code, and then we can proceed."
"Appium has problems with automated validations following iOS updates, causing us to have to validate manually."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you have previous experience with the solution, but it can be complicated for a novice user."
"Image recognition could be improved. We have some images in our mobile applications. It should be able to run from the cloud, so we can automate the catcher."
"One thing which can be really helpful is that there is some kind of a recorder made available rather than scripting everything."
"When it comes to mobile testing, we have a small bottleneck there. You have to buy third-party separate licenses if you want to test on a mobile. Business wise we see room for improvement there, although it's that really critical for us."
"We would like this to be able to be used outside of SAP applications, as it would be good for other types of products."
"The web application should be more robust."
"Worksoft Certify needs improvement on customization of reporting and how you report final outcomes."
"The stability needs help. This is main thing that needs help, and if it's not the stability, then it's Worksoft's ability to respond to issues."
"It would be great if our business testers could develop their own automated test cases. With every release you do, you have to go back and touch your old test cases and bring them up to speed, or develop new test cases. In the beginning, that is a challenge because you have to have someone who is certified in the tool to help you develop these test cases."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where certain improvements are required."
"Capture 2.0 is not as useful when you get into more mature automation."
