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."One of the features that I like is Object Recognition. It worked very well, and it allowed me to create a dynamic expert based on my requirements."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is the ease of use of the solution."
"It has been good so far for API testing on Mac. It is not that hard to learn and use. There is so much support out there, so if anyone wants to start using it, there is enough help."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"The tool has a good record and playback feature for functionality, which saves time when creating automated tests."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"One improvement would be if it could support more programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Right now, it is only on Groovy, which I think is not a too popular language."
"I can say that in my company, we struggle a lot with iOS automation."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
