Pros
"It provides automated testing. Instead of us doing manual testing, we can utilize Leapwork, and it tests most of our critical processes. In the next phase, we also plan to do some process work with it, such as using Leapwork to create reports or provide certain extracts of data.""The most valuable of this solution is the no code option. It offers drag and drop when it comes to development and removes the need for a developer.""The UI is user-friendly."

"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy.""Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features.""Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity.""I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective.""This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite.""Data security was prime for us. Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding.""The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback.""Object identification is good."

Cons
"This solution could be improved by offering better reporting related to the integration into Azure DevOps.""It is a very comprehensive tool, and there is a significant learning curve to being able to adopt the tool. Because it does so much, there is only so much that you can learn. You can, however, do some simpler things right away. They do have a kind of boot camp where some of their experts engage with you, and during that time, you can work on the top initiatives that you want to do, and that's a good process. After you start using the tool, there is a lot more that you would want to do.""The only thing that I don't like about the product is the need to deploy agents on the laptops of people doing the testing. So, you have an agent on a server, then you have an agent on the laptop of the person who is doing the testing, and that seems like a lot of stuff and a kind of anti-cloud. Why do I have to deploy agents on people's machines in order to do something in the cloud? I'm sure they're doing that so they can monitor their licensing and all that stuff, but it is not necessarily a friendly process.""The initial setup is difficult."

"We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier.""The object detection functionality needs to be improved.""The solution's technical support team could be responsive.""Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls).""I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code.""The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler.""I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis.""When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too."

    Overview

    LEAPWORK is a no-code automation platform. This solution’s main purpose is to make it easy for business and IT administrators to automate repetitive processes.

    LEAPWORK Features

    LEAPWORK has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

    • Hyper-visual debugging: LEAPWORK’s hyper-visual debugging leads to faster maintenance. LEAPWORK’s platform provides representation of issues either with a video recording of the run, a debug version of the automation flow that contains data-level insights, or an activity log.
    • Reusable sub-flows: With LEAPWORK, you can identify process steps that can resurface across different automation cases, which can then be turned into reusable sub-flows. The sub-flows can be used over and over across projects and teams.
    • Robust execution across multiple machines: LEAPWORK makes it possible for you to run automation in multiple environments at the same time. The solution also makes it easy to handle SSO scenarios and execute remotely.
    • Efficient scheduling: With LEAPWORK you can schedule automation flows to run during any time of day or night, in parallel, or on local, remote, and virtual machines, in the cloud, or even in closed networks. The scheduling feature can also be programmed to run once or repeatedly according to a recurring schedule.
    • Calendar assistant: LEAPWORK has an advanced calendar assistant that allows you to see what is running and when, which also helps you plan more strategically. In addition, the calendar assistant provides you with an overview of agent resource usage.
    • Workflow and assignee management: LEAPWORK enables you to segregate duties and to track contributors as needed, providing complete transparency so that managing hundreds of automation flows is more efficient.
    • Governance and compliance: LEAPWORK offers audit logs, video-based reporting, and dashboards, which helps you manage governance issues. LEAPWORK also provides compliance features to help your organization.

    • Easy to learn: Since using LEAPWORK automates tests in minutes or hours rather than days, the platform is intuitive, simple, and easy to learn.
    • Low maintenance: LEAPWORK is designed with reusability built in, which helps decrease the maintenance burden on your QA and development teams and also results in fewer automation bottlenecks.
    • Reliable and secure: LEAPWORK is an enterprise-grade test automation solution that can be relied on as a secure product. It is also reliable since it works across all technologies.
