Featured Reviews

Anastasiya Sousa - PeerSpot reviewer
QA Engineer at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Automated regression has reduced repetitive testing and now needs simpler setup and reporting
I think that Appvance AIQ Platform can be improved by making some of the advanced features easier to configure and more intuitive for new users. The platform has a broad range of capabilities, so the learning curve can be a little easier when you first start working with it. I would also like to see more flexibility in customizing dashboards and reports for different QA teams and projects. It is a strong platform for automated testing, particularly for expanding regression coverage and reducing repetitive manual testing. But I would leave some room for improvement around the learning curve, as I mentioned earlier, and reporting customization, making some advanced features more accessible would be really useful for new users.
Muddisetty Arun Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
WorkSoft Certified Automation Engineer at Qualesce
Automation has delivered strong ROI with AI-driven test prioritization and parallel reporting
The best feature of Worksoft Certify is the automatic report generation. Unlike traditional tools like Selenium or Java-based frameworks where reporting often requires custom coding, Certify handles this natively. We are currently utilizing the 14.5 version, which has modernized these capabilities, though we frequently manage backward compatibility for clients still running on the 12.x version series.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We saw the biggest improvement in testing time and regression coverage with Appvance AIQ Platform, as automation reduced the amount of manual execution required and allowed us to run a larger set of tests more frequently, making our regression cycles roughly 30 to 40% faster while increasing automated test coverage with more scenarios and data variations."
"It is a great performance testing tool."
"The most valuable feature is having a no-code solution for automation, so our QA team and some of our business users can work on automation. Then, they don't have to be developers."
"We prefer Worksoft over other platforms because it's a low-code solution"
"The ability to work with the data, with recordsets, and plug those into the scripts is very easy and very powerful. We use it extensively."
"Using Certify, we have been able to bring testing timescales down from three to four weeks of manual effort to a few hours of automated testing, preventing major defects from going into production and saving significant time for business users to focus on value‑adding activities."
"It is a pretty easy tool to use as far as automated testing tools go."
"All the different kinds of recording features (learn) on the different technology platforms such as Java, SAP, and HTML are its most valuable features."
"Certify integrates with other tools and it works very well with other machine testing applications."
"We save probably 50 percent of our time, the tool does what it's supposed to do, and we are able to actually work."
 

Cons

"I think that Appvance AIQ Platform can be improved by making some of the advanced features easier to configure and more intuitive for new users."
"Reporting features can be improved to provide more flexibility, collation, exporting in different formats, etc."
"The updates for SAP Fiori have been great, where previously we saw a lot of issues. A year ago, it used to fail miserably."
"There was a change to Capture 2.0. In the end, there have been some challenges with the newer version. Therefore, the company testers, the local ones, do not want to use Capture 2.0."
"An area that I would like to see improved is how the permissions are applied. If you're applying permissions groups to a user, one of the options is to delete the group entirely and lose the entire permission group, rather than just deleting the permission from the user, which seems a little silly. In my opinion, that whole module of permissions is very confusing and lends itself to common errors."
"We have had run ins with some bugs on Business Process Procedure (BPP) and Execution Manager."
"From the features perspective, I find that there are functionalities missing in Worksoft Certify at the moment that I would like to see included in the future."
"Web automation can get a little better."
"As part of our weekly regression, we wanted to use Execution Manager. However, from 2017 until March 2021, Execution Manager was not working as expected in our enrollment. It could have been better. If Execution Manager had worked well, then we could have doubled our productivity. Unfortunately, it had problems."
"Based on my colleagues' feedback, there are still some minor issues concerning continuous testing, particularly related to the timeout feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The initial upfront cost in terms of licenses, plus all the money that we spent developing tests, has proven it's worth. Now, we can do a regression test suite in ten days as opposed to sixteen weeks."
"We've saved over 80 percent in time savings."
"This solution is expensive."
"We have an annual license for this solution. The product is very expensive."
"Automating our manual processes has saved us 70 to 80 percent in time."
"We ended up buying too many licenses. They were very good at selling it to us, and probably oversold it a little. We bought 45 licenses and have never used more than twenty. However, they gave us a pretty significant discount on the bigger license, so it made sense for us to buy enough that we wouldn't have to go back and ask for more."
"The tool is not really good at all because you need to purchase some additional tools."
"The initial investment is probably a little high. It was a little hard for me to sell, but it was a one-shot deal and that's why it's so high. All we are doing now is paying annual maintenance, which we don't have to do if we don't want upgrades, but we do."
