Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Test Automation Tools."I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"Before implementing Sauce Labs, we tested physical devices that team members had to share. It was more feasible when we were all located in one office, but we couldn't leverage our offshore capacity. With this solution, we can do everything remotely, which is essential now that most of us work from home."
"Maintaining many environments for test is a bear. These guys make it so easy with their CI integration that you can have tests going in after a few hours."
"It runs on the cloud, so you don't have physical setups to run all of this."
"Live device testing. As we all know, It's really hard and challenging to find/purchase many real devices to test because it will be costly and not all the team can be able to purchase all of the devices out there. We used to have a lot of real devices under our labs. However, it is really time-consuming to maintain those devices and make sure they are up to date with the testing requirements."
"Sauce Labs' dashboards contain multiple useful metrics in one place. Everything is represented to us visually on the dashboard, which helps us understand where to focus our attention, what the issues are, and what we need to resolve."
"As stated earlier we use Sauce Labs for a combination of automated testing and manual testing. Therefore the most useful features are the ability to run the functional automated tests via a Sauce Labs tunnels which allows access to applications in our internal network. The second most useful feature is the manual side."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run concurrent automated tests up to a specified value, depending on what we are currently paying for."
"They update for the latest browsers and mobile phones and support a lot of combinations. They have 1,000-plus desktop combinations and browser versions, which is really great. We need that at Applause. The all-in-one testing suite aspect of it is really important because most of our clients prefer to go to one place."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"They should provide a JIRA integration plugin so that we can easily log issues."
"As a web product QA team, we sometimes need to spot check some new child site on multiple browsers and OS(es). It was a little time consuming for us since we need to click on each of the browser/OS combinations and start a new session to test. Every sprint, with new features and child pages being added, we mostly need to do the same steps over and over again."
"Unable to segregate reports for tests that are currently being developed, and might not be returning useful results."
"The pricing model of Sauce Labs could be more flexible. Sauce Labs has just one price for the type of solution and a set number of devices. Other solutions have a fee for the base solution and an additional cost per device. If you're a smaller organization, you have to consider your needs. Some smaller companies still need to test various devices, so my advice is to start small and scale up as needed. We had initially planned to start big, but that would have been a big waste."
"We encountered minor issues with stability from time to time but Sauce Labs continues to make improvements."
"The one issue I have is the 14-day trial that a new user gets for free. I understand the concept of the trial period; however, I think this could be revamped to a free 30-minute run time every few months or after a significant update once the trial period has ended."
"User account management needs an overhauls, allowing for user groups rather than just a hierarchy structure."
"They could improve the platform's customer support services."
