"The most valuable features of Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional are the separate module for scripting, execution analysis, and integration with a lot of new things pipeline areas. They keep updating their releases. Recently, they have released different versions, such as the professional and enterprise. They're coming up with new features which are good."
"I recommend LoadRunner Professional as it supports many protocols and applications and is very easy to set up and use."
"Very useful for finding out how the system responds to load, stress, and normal situations, as well as benchmarking with other industry competitors. It also improved our response time, memory delegation, and CPU delegation. In addition, we used LoadRunner to optimize our database and website."
"I would rate Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional's stability at eight out of ten."
"My favorite feature in LoadRunner Professional is its ability to group scripts under separate IDs."
"The initial setup and installation of the software were very easy and straightforward."
"There are various languages that they allow those programs to be written in, whether you want to use Java or something else."
"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature."
"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."
"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."
"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."
"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."
"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."
"Has good automation and load-testing capabilities."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."
"I would like to have better support for adding more users per load generator."
"The only scenario we see a complexity is when we have single-page applications where JavaScript is talking to the server and coming back. That's the only scenario where we find some difficulties."
"I also use the TrueClient feature for browser-based testing. I found the TrueClient feature to be a bit difficult to use and not very user-friendly for automating scripts."
"There is room for improvement of the pilot processing, the dump analysis, and forwarding results based on the dump analysis. We have a generator, root controller, different agents, and an analyzer, so all of these are very important when it comes to LoadRunner."
"If they can make LoadRunner more comprehensive, it would really help."
"Improvement wise, the pipeline should be enabled. It should be embedded as part of the tool itself rather than going with third-party tools. Monitoring should be more effective as well."
"There should be more integration with more open-source platforms."
"Sometimes, we aren't able to see an accurate page view while replying and executing the script. When you are navigating the application side by side, it needs to be displayed on a random viewer. Sometimes we will get a few applications, and we won't get others."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."
"I would like to see better dashboards."
"I have faced issues with some indexing items."
"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."
"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."
"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."
"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."
