Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."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."
"It is actually a very good tool because it will support almost all, if not all, industry-standard protocols, and it is also equipped with very nice reporting capabilities, which is why I like it."
"LoadRunner Professional allowed us to load test potential new payroll solutions that would be implemented throughout the entire organization so that we knew which was best suited to performing well under pressure."
"The solution supports a lot of protocols."
"Scaling is definitely one of the best features of this solution. There are no issues scaling to 10,000 or 20,000 concurrent users."
"I like LoadRunner's ability to use multiple protocols. That's one of the greatest features along with the ability to test service calls between the app and server."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally."
"Every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used."
"The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest."
"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Automatic testing is the most valuable feature."
"Generating new messages, based on the existing .EDN and .XML messages, is a crucial part or the testing project that I’m currently in."
"The solution is scalable."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high-quality technical support, I rate the support a one."
"Compared to some other vendors, there is a lack of community support."
"There should be more integration with more open-source platforms."
"The debugging capability should be improved."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"I guess scalability becomes a problem when you use things like TruClients."
"If the support of the protocols was the same throughout the other protocols and it was there evenly, then I would rate the product higher."
"The product is not stable and reliable in the version we are currently using."
"Reporting facilities can be better."
"Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."
"Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu."
"Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."
"UI testing should be more in-depth."
"During the process of working with SOAtest and building test cases, the .TST files will grow. A negative side effect is that saving your changes takes more time."
"Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times."
"The feedback that we received from the DevOps of our organization was that the tool was a little heavy from the transformation perspective."
