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.

Efficient application testing with reduced maintenance, though integration enhancements are needed
The best features I've seen with UiPath Test Cloud so far come down to test case management, tracking, and the ability to see results, but I'll be honest, the main feature I enjoy the most is the cost. The ability of the test suite to automate tests across a wide range of technologies is great since UiPath's background in RPA is specifically designed to automate basically any and all technologies. UiPath Test Cloud has certainly helped me reduce maintenance. While I don't have a good calculation on the exact time saved, I can tell you it helps with maintenance significantly. It absolutely frees up staff time for other projects by quickly identifying and classifying issues instead of going through a manual triage process. The total cost of testing is indeed reduced with UiPath Test Cloud, probably targeting around a 25% to 30% reduction in cost, typically ending up closer to 15% to 20% for larger implementations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The statistics that are available are very good."
"The solution is user-friendly with respect to automation."
"Not many performance Testing tool provides end to end response times for scripts running on the page, this tool is capable of providing end to end real time browser response times."
"A good automation tool that supports SAP functional testing."
"The Silk4J feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good. You can easily expand the product if you need to."
"SilkTest is best for desktop applications and good for web applications also with the Open agent."
"The feature I like most is the ease of reporting."
"UiPath's tools are generally designed for business users, so they can be as simple or as complex as needed."
"The Test Manager, the final stage of the UiPath Test Suite, is its most valuable feature."
"UiPath Test Cloud has helped automate major applications such as SAP and Oracle, which are significant needle movers, particularly in a project we did where a customer was migrating from on-prem to cloud for SAP, allowing us to regression test hyper-fast while rolling out new modules and automating at the same time."
"The document understanding is good."
"It has reduced all the deployment cycles of the automation solutions by forty percent."
"Our team used to require five to six days to complete the entire release or execution cycle. Now, we're able to complete it within just one or one and a half days."
"Being able to use regular expressions, activities, and attributes is valuable."
"We are finding bugs and defects much faster."
 

Cons

"Could be more user-friendly on the installation and configuration side."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Implementing a better integration with Git. It was extremely painful to implement the link from Silk Central to Git."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex if you're deploying on-prem."
"At the moment, when we are trying to use this tool, we are finding quite a few compatibility issues between the tool and the applications on the test. We wouldn't consider it perfectly stable for that reason."
"GUI interface could be simpler for non-developers."
"They should extend some of the functions that are a bit clunky and improve the integration."
"I've seen a lot of potential users upset with the SilkTest due to broken installation."
"More precise logging would be appreciated."
"There is room for improvement in terms of introducing framework compatibility."
"I don't rate its ability to automate very well."
"We have output arguments in the workflow. We can check results only by using those arguments. It would be better to have some more options, such as screen variables. For example, in a workflow, if we want to check if an activity is present inside, we should be able to get the output to UiPath Test Suite through the activity itself. That would be great for testing."
"They could improve the visualization of the product."
"The initial setup of UiPath Test Cloud is a mixed bag; while setting up the tool is easy, building the tests is always tedious."
"At FORWARD VI, we see new automations being built around AI and the ability to have developers understand how they can drive some of those AI capabilities with Studio. We are starting to see that. They should also drive that with UiPath Test Suite so that we can not only build that development side faster; we can also develop the tests that go along with it, hopefully automatically."
"Storing the test scripts is what needs to improve in the UiPath Test Suite, as it's currently a challenge to some extent. Maintaining the files is a bit challenging, especially when you need to keep those locally."
 

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."
"UiPath Test Suite is a cost-effective solution. Orchestrator is the most expensive UiPath module, costing around $20,000, but you don't need to purchase Orchestrator to use Test Suite. You can buy a nonproductive version that costs about $2,400. It's a better value than other products I've seen."
"It represents good value for the investment."
"It is a little bit more expensive than Selenium, but it provides value for money. There are multiple types of licenses such as the Test Suite license, Studio Pro license, Test Manager license, and Test Robot license. The overall cost estimation is 13,800 dollars."
"I am not aware of the exact cost. It seems reasonable, but it is an additional cost."
"One robot license costs 1,500 euros."
"Its price is a bit high."
"I wasn't involved in the negotiations for the UiPath Test Suite, so I have no information on its pricing."
"The cost of a UiPath Test Suite license for five users is over $10,000 USD."
