Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."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."
"The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#. It's very easy to put them all under one project and use them. The are other features that SmartBear TestComplete has but the competition widely has them as well."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
