Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."It's a very powerful tool."
"What we call the LoadRunner analysis is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"For me, LoadRunner stands out, especially with its reporting capabilities, the graphs that can be generated, and the unique feature of measuring our application's response alongside our infrastructure metrics, such as CPU, memory, or disk usage, all presented in graph form. This is something other applications struggle to match."
"I think the number one feature everybody likes is the capability to easily generate virtual users as well as the reporting."
"We implemented through the vendor, who used highly-skilled professionals."
"We haven't had an outage since we started using the solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward. I was able to download everything myself without any IT support."
"We can measure metrics like hits per second and detect deviations or issues through graphs. We can filter out response times based on timings and identify spikes in the database or AWS reports."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"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."
"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."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"Selenium integration."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"The support team needs to be more coordinated."
"The process of upgrading LoadRunner can be difficult and time-consuming."
"It's not that popular on the cloud."
"I have seen some users report some issues, but I have personally not had any issues."
"The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved."
"I think better or more integration with some of the monitoring tools that we're considering."
"Sometimes, the code is not generated when we record the scripts in the backend."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"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."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"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)."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
