Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The speed of the solution and its performance are valuable."
"I like that it offers full device capability."
"The integration is very good."
"I have found that BrowserStack is stable."
"It just added some flexibility. There was nothing that improved our coding standards, etc. because all of our UIs were functional before we tried it."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides parallel and cross-browser testing. It enables us to run tests on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously."
"BrowserStack has lots of devices to choose from."
"The setup was quite simple. The website easily explains how to set it up and if you want to integrate it with BMP tools there are online simple step tutorials."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"Katalon Studio's biggest advantage is its price. It's a good tool for the price, albeit with some limitations when you compare it with tools like Tricentis Tosca."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"I would like for there to be more integration with BrowserStack and other platforms."
"Occasionally, there are disruptions in the connection which can interfere with our testing processes, especially when testing on phones."
"Customer support could be better. We tried to implement and explore this product with the vendor or reseller's help, but we haven't had any good response about the product."
"I would like to see clearer visibility."
"The solution is slow."
"While I was testing I was not 100% sure a that was properly mimicking the browsers or not. We had some issues with a browser, and the reason was the browser itself does not provide any support. If the local system does not provide any support, I think this was the problem. There should be better integration with other solutions, such as JIRA."
"I haven't seen AI in BrowserStack, making it in an area where improvements are required in the product."
"One of the biggest issues with BrowserStack is that if you don't have your network set up by the book, it's hard to get it to work with local desk machines."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"One improvement would be if it could support more programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Right now, it is only on Groovy, which I think is not a too popular language."
"Katalon Studio should improve its usability, it still needs some improvement where users can easily use it to build their automation suite. It requires some initial work to set it up. There should be more keywords in the library to limit the coding requirements, this will allow a non-technical person easily start using it, which would be better."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
