Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Test Automation Tools."This solution provides for API testing, functional UI testing, performance testing, and service virtualization."
"Reporting is pretty good. Its interface is also good. I'm overall pretty happy with the functionality and use of IBM Rational Test Workbench."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"It is a scalable solution."
"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"It should have more interfaces. In terms of interfaces or protocols, what you can do with Rational is far limited as compared to other products out there. What it does, it does great, but it only gives you limited types of protocols. It supports between 8 to 15 types of protocols, whereas other test tools give you 20 to 30 types of protocols with which you can do testing and convert to script. It records Javascript-based scripts, and you got to know a little bit of Java to basically be able to edit them, but the level of editing you got to do is very low. I like that, but the ability to edit the script is not as good as Parasoft or LoadRunner, which have C-Script."
"There are a number of things that they can do to simplify the tools, but the most important thing that they need to do is simplify the installation."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"I've also had some issues with the speed of certain API calls and the rendering of data. For example, when I'm onboarding data, the process can be slow."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
