"We implemented through the vendor, who used highly-skilled professionals."
"It's a very powerful tool."
"We haven't had an outage since we started using the solution."
"The host performance testing of any application using a host/controller is the most valuable feature."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"The product has many features."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"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."
"OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise needs to improve reporting."
"The solution is a very expensive tool when compared with other tools."
"Lacks the option of carrying out transaction comparisons."
"The installation has not been straightforward, and we have had so many problems. We have had to re-install, try to install on a different machine, etc. We have not been able to launch the LRE server itself yet."
"Canned reports are always a challenge and a question with customers because customers want to see sexy reports."
"The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved."
"We are expecting more flexible to use Jenkins in continuous integration going forward."
"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."
"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."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"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."
"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"The integration tools could be better."
