Cons
"It would be good if there could be more integration of Inflectra Rapise, since not all customers use the same tool for test management and automation integration.""Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability.""The maintenance is very difficult. We've only been using the platform for three months, so I'm not sure if that will continue, but right now it's an observation I've had."

More Inflectra Rapise Cons →

"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing.""Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription.""The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS.""Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage.""The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS.""This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail.""Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work.""At times, identifying or locating an element can be somewhat challenging. However, in a recent test update, they introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. This introduction has reduced the challenges to some extent, as we can now utilize OCR if the normal method doesn't work. Nevertheless, there is still significant potential for improvement in TestComplete's ability to identify various object elements. I don't have any specific concerns to mention. I have observed significant improvements in TestComplete over the past few years, especially in its support for highly dynamic object elements used in products like Salesforce Dynamics 365. In earlier versions, there were numerous challenges, but the current version is far superior to its predecessors."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay no more than $50 annually for support of each one of the licenses."
  • "I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where ten means very good pricing."
  • More Inflectra Rapise Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The product is becoming more and more expensive."
  • "My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."
  • "The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
  • "Buy modules on demand. If you have a four-person team and they will each automate tests only 25% of the time, it's better to buy a floating licence and share the tool during the work day."
  • "TestComplete now have come up with three modules (Web, Desktop & Mobile), so based on the type of product for automation, it is adequate to purchase the required module."
  • "This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
  • "The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
  • "The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandhiya T S., Sr Solutions Engineer at Lexington Soft, relates, “The record and replay aspects of the solution are quite useful for people. With them, you don't have to write any scripts. Basically, you can record your actions and play them back later. The initial setup is also very easy.”
