Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"This solution is very user-friendly to learn and implement, and less technical knowledge is required to handle automation."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"One of the features that I like is Object Recognition. It worked very well, and it allowed me to create a dynamic expert based on my requirements."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is the ease of use of the solution."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"Worksoft Certify supports multiple interfaces and applications like SAP, Web, or Silverlight Java, and Mainframe. It is easily integrated."
"What I like about Worksoft Certify is that end-to-end testing becomes faster."
"It is very easy to maintain. With scripts, I can change one line and in one step. Whatever I want, I can do. I don't need to be an expert to use it."
"The ease of use is superior to anything on the market. It's very easy to integrate. We've been very impressed with the tool. Because we primarily use the configuration with SAP, the integration is pretty seamless. But we have used our own in-house VB app as well, and it's worked very well with that."
"The turn around time for getting the automation tester familiarized with the tool is very quick, as it doesn't have any coding. It is fairly simple to understand."
"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."
"If we write a new test that's 80 percent the same as an existing test, it is pretty straightforward to reuse the steps from existing tests for our new tests and build upon them."
"We found that Worksoft is easier to use because our business experts can do the tests. We didn't have to have IT experts."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"The product is comparatively slow."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where certain improvements are required."
"We have had run ins with some bugs on Business Process Procedure (BPP) and Execution Manager."
"Worksoft Certify needs improvement on customization of reporting and how you report final outcomes."
"The definitions for the objects need to be automated. They need to be recognized automatically by Worksoft Certify instead of changing them back and forth manually. This is also something that Worksoft is currently working on."
"Technical support's first response to us is usually late."
"Certify is integrated with Solution Manager, but this integration could be easier."
"Worksoft Certify needs a bit of improvement for its web-based processes. It can be difficult because you need to recall the maps, then you still have to add-on for your browser. When you are using the browser-based testing, you cannot even move your mouse or do anything on your system when you are using the web-based testing. Therefore, it needs a bit of improvement on that side. While it does work, it needs improvement. From the SAP side, there is nothing better than Worksoft Certify. However, from the web-based, we are moving towards Fiori. SAP will soon be totally web-based. For Fiori, they need to be great with SAP testing. Thus, Worksoft has to improve the web-based testing part for Certify."
"The technical support comes on, and says, "Oh, so-and-so link is here, go through that link, and make the modifications." I'm not comfortable in making those changes. I want to schedule a call, share my screen, and have them fix it for me."
