"TestComplete fits almost perfectly with a large amount of stacks, such as Delphi, C#, Java and web applications."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."

"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."

"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
