Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 6, 2025

Akamai CloudTest and Oracle Application Testing Suite compete in performance and load testing applications. Akamai appears to have the upper hand in pricing flexibility and support options, while Oracle offers a broader feature set that suits enterprises using Oracle products.

Features: Akamai CloudTest is known for scalability, real-time analytics, and effective web application stress testing. Oracle Application Testing Suite provides comprehensive tools for functional, regression, and load testing, alongside application lifecycle management, making it a robust solution for complex testing environments.

Room for Improvement: Akamai CloudTest could enhance its offering with more extensive integration capabilities and reporting features. Its user interface could also be more intuitive. Oracle Application Testing Suite might improve with quicker deployment options and more competitive pricing. Additionally, enhanced support for non-Oracle environments could broaden its appeal.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Akamai CloudTest offers a cloud-based deployment praised for its quick setup and scalability, providing a smooth user experience.

Is user-friendly and offers live monitoring

Extending the same cloud tool to make it app native so that it can help with device performance testing towards HTTP requests and responses. If you can have a front-end tool like Google's Core Web Vitals, it would be great. If you have some integration with Google's Core Web Vitals, it would be great. I want the tool to have IP spoofing because whenever you do load testing, you will have a little bit of static IP based on a particular load generator. If we have an option of just making the real-time scenario, like having IP spoofing, and the range of IPs dynamically gets changed with the request just to mimic the real-time user behavior, then it would be a good improvement. Having integration to APM tools, like Dynatrace or AppDynamics, the way we have in the load tools, would be good.

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy

Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This is an awesome performance testing tool for web based applications, able to generate load multiple geographies, dynamic ramp-up to any levels of virtual users."

"From my own experience, if you're talking about load testing and performance testing then definitely you should go for CloudTest. Because when we compared CloudTest with Performance Center, cost wise it was a better solution. It is easy to use as well, and you can definitely get an automation engineer or a performance engineer with very little exposure to any programming or scripting language such as JavaScript. I would definitely recommend this solution and would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten."

"Soasta CloudTest is an integral part of our performance testing strategy and key in generating load across geography."

"The tool is very user-friendly, so you can save a lot of time in terms of your preparation activities."

"The level of support is quite good and the integration is also very flexible."

"The solution was easy to set-up and much more easy and intuitive to build performance tests."

"The solution is very stable."

"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."

"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. 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."

"The function test feature is valuable."

"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

"This tool did a much better job recording the http requests during web load testing than other open source tools."

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

Cons

"In terms of improvement, I think integration of these tools with the leading EPM tools would be good. It would help to seamlessly integrate to Dynatrace or AppDynamics to understand what the profiling looks like when generating a load."

"One of the challenges with Soasta is availability and quick access to their technical support documentation and on-call support."

"If we have an option of just making the real-time scenario, like having IP spoofing, and the range of IPs dynamically gets changed with the request just to mimic the real-time user behavior, then it would be a good improvement."

"It's a manual process to whitelist respective internal IPs in coordination with web operations team to access Soasta. Availability of any standardized tool from Soasta will make setup process easy."

"Akamai cloud test integration into our current CI/CD pipelines (i.e.) identify and resolve the issues during the sprint phase which helps in delivering an absolute product and reduces time to market/release."

"The test clip should be more user-friendly."

"I couldn't say, as I haven't used it outside the training or applied it to any project yet."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."

"The tool runs out of memory when the recording flows are long and involve many screens despite increasing the memory settings for OpenScript."

"There are certain bugs which were present but was cleared in subsequent releases of application, but still there is room for improvement in the Functionality testing tool when automating form-based applications."

"I have faced issues with some indexing items."

"To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing."

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Running cost is very low."

"We have a yearly license, and I would give it a rating of three out of five."

"The tool's price is at an intermediate level. When you compare it with other enterprise load testing tools, it falls under the average category."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
