Manager of Central Excellence at Alpura
Easy to set up with good documentation and easy management of testing cycles
The solution allows for a complete test cycle. The management of testing cycles are easy. We have good control over test cases. We can capture functional testing very easily. We're actually able to accelerate testing now and have end-to-end cycles for testing. We didn't used to have these capabilities. It's easy to automate and accelerate testing. The product offers very good cross-browser testing capabilities. We can do continuous testing and regression testing.

Shared change lists are helpful, but poor scalability leads to problems with instability
The biggest problems with this solution have to do with scale. If the load is high then your request is put on hold for a second, and then you have to handle it. If you make a lot of requests then it is your problem. It would be very helpful if a queue was implemented to handle, for example, 100 requests at the same time. Any additional request would be put on hold and made to wait for a few seconds. Once the network and infrastructure are loaded to handle the next request, it would proceed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to develop scripts in Visual Studio, Visual Studio integration, is the most valuable feature."
"It speeds up testing efforts."
"The OCR recognition is great, way over Sikulix or Robot Framework."
"The solution is user-friendly with respect to automation."
"SilkTest is best for desktop applications and good for web applications also with the Open agent."
"It's easy to automate and accelerate testing."
"The feature I like most is the ease of reporting, as you get a single frame of reporting across all the various tests and the program is very user-friendly."
"With the help of SilkTest we've automated a bunch of routine regression tests, thus we saved our testing team weeks of testing time."
"The most valuable feature is the option to pull changes from others or make local changes in your own change list."
 

Cons

"The solution has a lack of compatibility with newer technologies."
"The browser based testing needs to be improved."
"Could be more user-friendly on the installation and configuration side."
"SilkTest has to improve on Firefox and Chrome as their versions change."
"Need to improve online documentation, community and forums to share issues encountered and solutions."
"I've seen a lot of potential users upset with the SilkTest due to broken installation."
"The support for automation with iOS applications can be better."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex if you're deploying on-prem."
"It would be very helpful if a queue was implemented to handle, for example, 100 requests at the same time."
"Generally, we can say that we have not had an excellent experience with Perforce."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid annually. There is a purchase cost, and then there is an ongoing maintenance fee."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and while I think that the price is quite reasonable I am not allowed to share those details."
