Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"It works very fine. It is fast on almost any machine, and it is also very well organized. I like its object mapping and its capability to find and interact with almost everything that exists on Windows."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"Stability issues occurred only when connecting to the SourceSafe. Sometimes, after getting the latest version, the tool hangs and it should be reopened in order to recover."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options. For example, if a grid is used and it contains multiple controls within it, it can be a checkbox, radio button, or any kind of control, the way the Object Spy is operating currently there is a lot of room for improvement."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"The integration tools could be better."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
