"We have seen a return on investment."
"Automatic testing is the most valuable feature."
"Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally."
"If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest."
"Parasoft SOAtest has improved the quality of our automated web services, which can be easily implemented through service chaining and service virtualization."
"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."
"They have a feature where they can record traffic and create tests on the report traffic."
"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"Selenium's open-source nature is a key advantage. Its extensive support for diverse web technologies."
"The most valuable feature of Selenium HQ is the ability to configure a lot of automated processes."
"It is more stable in comparison to other solutions because they have quite some experience in the market."
"It's easy for new people to get trained on this solution. If we are hiring new people, the resource pool in the market in test automation is largely around Selenium."
"I have found using IDE and Cucumber framework is good."
"The solution is free to use."
"Due to its popularity, you can find pretty much any answer in open discussions from the community."
"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."
"From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly."
"Reporting facilities can be better."
"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 product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually."
"Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved."
"Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."
"UI testing should be more in-depth."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"To simplify the development process, everyone needs to do a Selenium Framework to acquire the web application functions and features from Selenium methods."
"Whenever an object is changed or something is changed in the UI, then we have to refactor the code."
"Sometimes we face challenges with Selenium HQ. There are third party tools that we use, for example for reading the images, that are not easy to plug in. The third party add-ons are difficult to get good configuration and do not have good support. I would like to see better integration with other products."
"I would like for the next release to support parallel testing."
"Selenium HQ could have better interaction with SAP products."
"Selenium HQ can improve the authorization login using OTP, it is not able to be done in this solution."
"The solution's UI path needs to be modernized."
"For now, I guess Selenium could add some other features like object communications for easy expansion."
"Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area."
"Might have a learning curve, as it does not follow the traditional Record-Play functionality, but tests have to be built from requirements or Agile story cards."
"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
