While Zeenyx AscentialTest has proven to be a valuable asset in our testing processes, there are areas where improvements could enhance the overall user experience. 

One notable aspect is the user interface, where a more intuitive design and enhanced navigation features could further reduce the learning curve for new users. In addition, streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial.

An important improvement for Zeenyx AscentialTest would be the inclusion of features in its web portal, allowing users to retrieve and analyze specific test set runs with greater ease and efficiency.

It would be great if AscentialTest supported the license server being in the cloud.

Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot. The interface has a lot of features and took a while for me to master, although I have to say transferring that to my part-time programmers has been very easy.

The ability to copy internal tables would be nice.

Limitations are found to be primarily in the ux of the tool; for example when in doubt one often right clicks in an unfamiliar product to get unstuck, and AscentialTest lacks some of these fineries. Having to double click on certain fields in order to get into edit mode is a bit non-standard, and again some care needs to be put into the ux so that the user does not get stuck. The Elements Tree should be searchable, with hits when the control is Clipped, Hidden etc. The otherwise fine online Help lacks a “See Also” section. These are growing pains and being addressed.

Zeenyx has been working on a feature for AscentialTest that will allow our non-automation people (business users, managers, etc.) access to a portal. This portal can be used by non-licensed users by hitting a URL to see the execution status for the testing effort. Currently, to access the testing reports, you must have a licensed install of AscentialTest and be familiar with the tool to generate reports.

An option for the test set and plan results to be mailed out would help the reports to be circulated to the concerned people in the testing line.

I would like to see an improvement in the user interface. UI looks to be more trendy and attractive .

I am looking forward to API testing and mobile testing with Snapshot technology allowing drag and drop capabilities that are similar to Windows and the web.

I would like to see a debugger added.

The product can be improved a little bit with regards to the UI as the panels are too many. This is the area where I feel improvement is needed. 

It would be better if the support for Web Tables and Siebel Tables are readily available and made more simpler as they are encountered quite often while automating the apps.
