We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It takes less time to complete the regression testing."

More Basis Testimony Pros →

"The scalability of the solution is quite good. You can easily expand the product if you need to.""The statistics that are available are very good.""The feature I like most is the ease of reporting.""The ability to develop scripts in Visual Studio, Visual Studio integration, is the most valuable feature.""A good automation tool that supports SAP functional testing.""The major thing it has helped with is to reduce the workload on testing activities.""Scripting is the most valuable. We are able to record and then go in and modify the script that it creates. It has a lot of generative scripts."

Cons
"The GUI and design could be improved."

More Basis Testimony Cons →

"The solution has a lack of compatibility with newer technologies.""We moved to Ranorex because the solution did not easily scale, and we could not find good and short term third-party help. We needed to have a bigger pool of third-party contractors that we could draw on for specific implementations. Silk didn't have that, and we found what we needed for Ranorex here in the Houston area. It would be good if there is more community support. I don't know if Silk runs a user conference once a year and how they set up partners. We need to be able to talk to somebody more than just on the phone. It really comes right down to that. The generated automated script was highly dependent upon screen position and other keys that were not as robust as we wanted. We found the automated script generated by Ranorex and the other key information about a specific data point to be more robust. It handled the transition better when we moved from computer to computer and from one size of the application to the other size. When we restarted Silk, we typically had to recalibrate screen elements within the script. Ranorex also has some of these same issues, but when we restart, it typically is faster, which is important.""The pricing is an issue, the program is very expensive. That is something that can improve.""The support for automation with iOS applications can be better.""Could be more user-friendly on the installation and configuration side.""They should extend some of the functions that are a bit clunky and improve the integration.""Everything is very manual. It's up to us to find out exactly what the issues are."
