CucumberStudio is primarily used for designing test scenarios and automating testing. We have implemented it in conjunction with our own routines for integration into our infrastructure CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing. It supports our product owners in designing…

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling
I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"Hiptest allowed us to clean up our test campaigns and standardize the way we write test cases and structure our BDD approach."
"Using HipTest makes the testing process easy and its support for Behavior Driven Development helps align all the team members, whether technical or non-technical."
"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."
"The solution is stable."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"Discovery is super advantageous and has gotten us away from the manual work of walking the floor to find assets, while Automatic Workflows are a big deal that helps streamline processes and interconnect incident management."
"Overall it's a great product."
"​The workflow capability for easy setup is powerful."
"It's a great platform but it's so open that you can get bogged down pretty quickly in trying to make all of your customers happy."
"Good stable and scalable solution."
"The biggest feature is that it is cloud-based, so it's always updated, it's always current; we don't have to worry about patches or revisions because we're always working with the latest version and the features continue to improve."
"We can keep track of incidences. There is a bucket where we keep all our information, and it enables communication between stakeholders. It helps us collaborate with each other."
"From an initial setup perspective, it is very simple."
 

Cons

"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."
"Copy-pasting something directly from JIRA requires too much modification and formatting."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."
"The interface, in my opinion, is not very good."
"ServiceNow claims to help a lot, but once you sell the product, it's as if you're on your own."
"The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms."
"The user interface for accessing assistance sometimes disconnects."
"We did have some performance issues where some of the system areas were slow, but that was really our fault."
"I have a problem with the way the solution's price is calculated."
"They could improve license management, particularly when integrating different applications or toolsets."
"Time to respond from support could definitely be better, as the global support timing sometimes causes delays in interactions."
