That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good.""We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users.""Has good automation and load-testing capabilities.""The function test feature is valuable.""The most valuable feature is the object identification feature.""The solution is scalable.""We like that we don't need a separate management tool.

Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."
