The statistics that are available are very good.

The solution offers very good detailed reports.

It's excellent for testing an application's performance levels.

Scripting is the most valuable. We are able to record and then go in and modify the script that it creates. It has a lot of generative scripts.

The most valuable feature is the recording capability, which is something that the business users can start learning and using in a day. The technical people are not really required to use this. It is quite simple and easy.

This user interface is quite easy and something that everybody is able to follow.

It has a feature that saves the previous version so it is easy for deployment to just move the current version to the production environment.

This is a good automation tool that supports SAP functional testing. It recognizes SAP objects in the GUI mode which is a valuable feature. 

Support of the browser, with any client was good. Also, support of DLL features was awesome as we could recognize in-house built UI Objects. Having Basic State and Application State for test case level was good.

The Silk4J feature is the solution's most valuable aspect. With it, you can write custom Java code. 

You can also use keywords by uploading them and users are easily able to manage the keywords themselves.

1) SilkTest provides great object model and general approach for windows declarations. A lot of things which existed in SilkTest for ages were implemented in some other solutions relatively lately

2) Quite powerful internal language (4Test) however with Open Agent there is an ability to write tests using Java or C#.

3) It used to be relatively fast in comparison to TestComplete or QTP. Partially it's due to relatively light-weight IDE

4) Good system of test cases and application states

5) It is initially designed to support distributed test runs

The ability to develop scripts in Visual Studio, Visual Studio integration, is the most valuable feature. 

The feature I like most is the ease of reporting. One gets a single frame of reporting across all the various tests. The program is very user-friendly.

The OCR recognition is great, way over Sikulix or Robot Framework. I also like the fact that the integration with IE works great.

The KDT implementation seems to be pretty stable and easy to use, out of the box.

• GUI Mapping
• 4Test

The most valuable features for us are the Classic agent for desktop and the Open agent for IE. It also support the languages Java and C.

The web browser testing is very useful for applications with lots of Java script and application using Google on-line tool kit. Also, user based licence arrangements are best to suit organisation with budgeting constraints.

1. Object oriented approach

2. Keyword word driven framework

3. Supports both record & playback and descriptive programming

4. Supports multi-language support 4L (similar to C++) & java

5. Last but not least the separation of test design from test implementation
