We performed a comparison between Broadcom Service Virtualization and Worksoft Certify based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."We had a number of back-end services that were not available during testing times. What this had allowed us to do is get our early life testing done while those services are not available."
"In the case of the virtualization of TCP/IP protocols for third-party terminal insurance, there was a device terminal, which was interacting with the application via the TCP/IP protocol. Most of the tools don't support that, but we were able to achieve it using Broadcom Service Virtualization."
"Helps us to remove barriers that we have with dependencies on services that we don't own, or services that don't even exist yet."
"Scalability has actually worked well and we are able to bring it to multiple environments."
"We have been using it extensively for the shift left process and testing. It helps us to accelerate and virtualize services and assets that we don't have. It enables to test faster."
"We are able to quickly scale our requests. We have tested across thousands of requests. We have had no problems so far."
"The ability to do parallel development and testing reduces our costs for duplicating environments, improving the productivity of our developers, and bringing products faster to market."
"Easy to understand ways of creating stubs."
"The most valuable feature is its time saving. Once development is complete, the short time that it takes to execute a test is invaluable. It saves a number of dollars and man-hours."
"What I found most valuable in Worksoft Certify is its identification feature. I also found its automation feature valuable."
"For this SAP upgrade or implementation, the business users are creating building blocks in their areas, then they're changing the building blocks into long end-to-end scripts to do a complete end-to-end testing to speed up the UAT. It definitely has a bigger coverage of UAT testing."
"It's module based and it's giving functionality."
"The Worksoft Capture feature is most valuable. For example, if you are creating a sales order in SAP, you do not need to go to each field and do everything. You do not need to write code for each and every line. You can just turn on the Worksoft Capture feature and manually perform your actions. It will capture all manual actions, and it will give you the steps. It will write the steps for you."
"It provides a lot of time savings. We are always ready to execute a task whenever the business asks us. We saved approximately 7000 hours in 2018."
"Certify integrates with other tools and it works very well with other machine testing applications."
"The easy of use and ease of integration of Worksoft Certify are very good."
"The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog."
"I really want to see more of the "express" kind of model, where you get a little bit for free. I'd love to be able to see you be able to edit and author tests without having to be connected to a licensed server. And then, if you want to go and execute tests, then you go and connect to the server... I think it would unblock people to be able to do a lot more work from home or from remote places, where they can't really connect to the server."
"When it is unstable, there will be times when a test that we are running in Certify will just stop, and it will say, "Aborted." There will be errors. There will be no explanation as to why it happens. It has now happened maybe one out of 20 times. When it happens, I just tell our QA team to stop Certify and restart it, hoping we don't see it again."
"Worksoft Certify needs improvement on customization of reporting and how you report final outcomes."
"The web application should be more robust."
"One feature that could be added to Capture 2.0 is generating a PDF file from your capture, so you can see your screenshots and steps."
"Certify is integrated with Solution Manager, but this integration could be easier."
"The product had some UI issues."
"An area that I would like to see improved is how the permissions are applied. If you're applying permissions groups to a user, one of the options is to delete the group entirely and lose the entire permission group, rather than just deleting the permission from the user, which seems a little silly. In my opinion, that whole module of permissions is very confusing and lends itself to common errors."
"We would like this to be able to be used outside of SAP applications, as it would be good for other types of products."
