Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."It is also good for reporting purposes, which would be most familiar for QC and UFT users."
"It is pretty easy to do test execution and results analysis. When it comes to scenario settings, LoadRunner Enterprise has an extra edge over other testing tools in the industry. The scenario setup is easy, and in terms of execution, we have a clear idea of what is happening"
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is recording and replaying, and the fact that there are multiple options available to do this."
"The solution is a very user-friendly tool, especially when you compare it to a competitor like BlazeMeter."
"The most valuable feature is the Vuser protocols."
"For me, LoadRunner stands out, especially with its reporting capabilities, the graphs that can be generated, and the unique feature of measuring our application's response alongside our infrastructure metrics, such as CPU, memory, or disk usage, all presented in graph form. This is something other applications struggle to match."
"What we call the LoadRunner analysis is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"It offers easy integration with third-party tools like Dynatrace, Splunk, etc."
"It is a good and user-friendly tool."
"Performance-wise, it is a great tool."
"The ability to quickly make your own components has been valuable."
"The tool is flexible and easy to manage. We use it since it is scalable and easy to use. It integrates with solutions."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and availability."
"The most valuable feature of Visual Studio Test Professional is its ease of use."
"The initial setup is easy. It's easy to configure."
"The most valuable features are tools like IntelliSense and ReSharper."
"After they get over the acquisition, the first improvement is going to be tailoring it for their existing stack of other products. How would LoadRunner work for Documentum? How would it work for Business Network? How would it work for other apps? They can have a pre-package or a guide because they are all in the same family as opposed to being outside."
"The debugging feature needs to include graphs."
"Currently, when we try open LRE we encounter cookie banner issues. However, I'm not sure if it is within the enterprise solution or with the vendors."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's reporting should be quicker, easier, and more flexible."
"While the stability is generally good, there are a few strange issues that crop up unexpectedly which affect consistent use of the product."
"Dashboard creation should be implemented, so we can get the results in a desired format."
"The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved."
"I have seen some users report some issues, but I have personally not had any issues."
"Enhancing the support for web application testing and load performance would be an improvement."
"Visual Studio Test Professional could improve by having better integration with external databases."
"The integration with Git needs improving because it is a bit disjointed and unpredictable."
"The pricing of this solution should be lowered."
"It is not good in terms of performance. When you open Visual Studio, you have to wait for a while to process your code. It uses a lot of resources and has a lot of features. If we could disable some of the features, it would be lighter and faster to use. Nowadays, for some of the projects, we use VS Code for JavaScript or Python. VS Code is very light and easy to use, whereas, in Visual Studio, we have to wait because it takes time to compile or run a project. It has a lot of competitors in terms of performance, such as Intelligent ID. Intelligent ID is very easy to use. It has many features, and it is lighter to use than Visual Studio. In terms of error handling, sometimes, it shows an error before you finish your code, which can be improved. It would be good if it has a version for Linux. I use VS Code on Linux, but I am not sure if Visual Studio has a version for Linux."
"Visual Studio Test Professional should include more automation."
"Sometimes, the solution hangs, so its performance could be improved."
"The solution should be cheaper."
