Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."The product’s most valuable feature is the Vuser license; it allows us to reduce the cost as per requirement."
"The most valuable feature is that we do not have to accommodate the load-testing infrastructure in our own data center."
"The reports are very relevant to the customers’ expectations."
"One of LoadRunner's standout features is its extensive support for various TechStacks and protocols."
"The most valuable feature is that you can create an infrastructure on-demand and do performance testing with it."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them."
"It is feature-rich. It supports most protocols, which is important because I am in charge of a team at the bank, and we do performance testing for all kinds of different applications. We have tons of them. We even do video streams."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool. It covers all necessary items in the test plan. The most painful item in testing is maintenance. When changes occur, the tests should be maintained."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"We are trying to put it into a complete CI/CD pipeline, but there are still some challenges when you try to run it through different protocols. The challenges are around how you can containerize applications. There are some limitations to some protocols, such as desktop. And when it comes to database testing, there are some things that we can't do through CI/CD."
"An area for improvement is analytics on why response times are slow from certain countries."
"Its scripting features need improvement."
"We did have some challenges with the initial implementation."
"In terms of new features, they can natively integrate with Chaos engineering tools such as Chaos Monkey and AWS FIS. With LoadRunner, we can generate load, and if Chaos tools are also supported natively, it will help to get everything together."
"The support team provides delayed responses."
"I don't know of any features that should be added. The solution isn't lacking anything at this point."
"I'd like to see more ability to dive more deeply into the configuration."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options. For example, if a grid is used and it contains multiple controls within it, it can be a checkbox, radio button, or any kind of control, the way the Object Spy is operating currently there is a lot of room for improvement."
"The integration tools could be better."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
