Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."The solution is a very user-friendly tool, especially when you compare it to a competitor like BlazeMeter."
"The user interface is fine."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's best feature is the detailed reporting structure."
"Now that LoadRunner integrates with Dynatrace and other monitoring tools, it simplifies the process of integration into a company, taking merely five minutes to set up. This ease of integration allows for quick comparison of monitoring and performance results, a feature I highly appreciate."
"The solution supports a number of protocols."
"Our main use case for the product was load and stress testing. It helped us put the system under stress by injecting in multiple users, such as 5,000 users."
"It is pretty easy to do test execution and results analysis. When it comes to scenario settings, LoadRunner Enterprise has an extra edge over other testing tools in the industry. The scenario setup is easy, and in terms of execution, we have a clear idea of what is happening"
"It's a very powerful tool."
"You can record your actions and play them back later."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"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."
"It works very fine. It is fast on almost any machine, and it is also very well organized. I like its object mapping and its capability to find and interact with almost everything that exists on Windows."
"The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#. It's very easy to put them all under one project and use them. The are other features that SmartBear TestComplete has but the competition widely has them as well."
"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."
"I know there are integrations with continuous testing. It's got tie-ins to some of the newer tools to allow continuous testing. I'd love to see us not have to customize it, but for it to be out of the box."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise needs to add more features for Citrix performance-based applications testing. This was one of the challenges we observed. Additionally, we experienced some APIs challenges."
"I believe the data that demonstrates the automated correlations should be corrected."
"While the stability is generally good, there are a few strange issues that crop up unexpectedly which affect consistent use of the product."
"The support team needs to be more coordinated."
"The solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly, and by including autocorrelation capability."
"After they get over the acquisition, the first improvement is going to be tailoring it for their existing stack of other products. How would LoadRunner work for Documentum? How would it work for Business Network? How would it work for other apps? They can have a pre-package or a guide because they are all in the same family as opposed to being outside."
"More real-time monitoring should be available for the system under test."
"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."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"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)."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
