Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a complete solution for mobile application testing.""The most valuable feature of this solution is virtualization.""There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps.""For automation testing, the tool provides the record and playback option, which helps with object detection easily.""The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare.""The product is easy to use.""The solution is easy to use. There are features to orchestrate mobile testing, including mobile testing automation. You can test different devices at the same time."

"The most valuable feature is flexibility, as it connects to all of the endpoints that we need it to.""There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis.""The test cases are quite easy to build and to maintain. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us. It's the reason why they changed from JMeter to NeoLoad.""Very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good.""Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter.""NeoLoad is actually really good, mainly because they have a world-class support service.""I like the scripting and parameterization features.""It helped in achieving the testing of on-premise applications, as well as cloud-based applications, without much difficulty."

Cons
"For the most part, the key challenge is ensuring that customers fully utilize the product as intended and adopt the appropriate frameworks to implement the solutions effectively.""We need to scale devices easily. Some customers would like to loop in AWS or other cloud providers to check if their devices have the cloud factor. OpenText UFT Digital Lab needs to improve it.""We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it.""They should introduce a pay-per-use subscription model.""The documentation and user interface both need improvement.""I would like to see more integration with automation tools.""The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing."

More OpenText UFT Digital Lab Cons →

"Regular and strong support has to be made available by Tricentis during the solution's implementation and initial setup.""Sometimes it's complicated to maintain the test cases. It's much easier than in JMeter, however. I'm not sure if this depends so much on NeoLoad, or is more based on the environment that we are testing.""While importing the scripts from backup it should not create the new variables because it has created some issues for us.""NeoLoad does not support Citrix-based applications.""LoadRunner offers a full protocol, whereas, with this product, only a few of the protocols are supported - not all.""The protocol support area could be improved.""NeoLoad can improve the correlation templates, which are specific to frameworks. There's room for improvement in that area.""Most people focus on HTTPS or TCP, but it would be good to have support for a variety of different protocols."

    The six phases of an IT project Enthusiasm Disillusionment Panic Search for the guilty Punishment of the innocent (the performance tester) Praise and rewards for the incompetent non-participants This article has been put together as part of an evaluation of the performance test tools NeoLoad and LoadRunner. I consulted a variety of sources, including user groups, discussions with colleagues, telephone chats with HP (the vendors of LoadRunner) and Neotys (the vendors of NeoLoad), and of course the Oracle – Google. The opinions in this article are my own and do not represent the views of any particular company, the software vendors or any organisation (and I’ve assumed that readers have some knowledge of web application performance testing). The versions discussed in this article as of April 2014 are: LoadRunner 11.52 NeoLoad 4.2.2 I hope this evaluation and comparison will assist you with your own evaluation of LoadRunner and NeoLoad. Introduction LoadRunner and NeoLoad are considered the top two best performance testing tools on the market. Comparing the two tools is just like comparing a Mercedes Benz and a BMW: both are high performance, perfectly engineered machines that also have an associated prestige. Performance testing is a critical component of the software testing process. It determines the actual operational boundaries that will simulate the real world use of an application. Performance testing is load testing, stress testing and scalability testing. Why… Read more →
