"You can test a huge variety of applications, not just web-based systems, but SAP, Oracle, web services, pretty much anything out in the market place, but it's mobile-based testing."

I find this functionality very useful."

"Micro Focus's technical support could be more responsive."

"The process of upgrading LoadRunner can be difficult and time-consuming."

"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 integration tools could be better."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
