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.

Provides multiple test environments and saves time, but should have something for inspecting mobile apps screens
With the desktop browser, we can inspect any screen with the web developer option, but they should provide something for mobiles so that we can quickly inspect elements on the device. To write the Selenium scripts, we require web locators. We have to capture them from the local and execute the script on Sauce Labs. If Sauce Labs can provide a solution where we can inspect any of the mobile devices online, it will be very helpful for us. I also faced an issue where during the execution time, the iCloud password used to expire within a certain period, which used to create pop-ups on the screen making our tests fail. That was one thing that we faced many times. If that can be improved, it will be very helpful.

Pros

"It has allowed more thorough testing with performance-based testing, in addition to regression testing and regular testing with each software release."
"Implementation of Oracle Application Testing Suite package has increased the overall efficiency."
"The best feature of this and Load Test is simplicity."
"This is the best tool I have used till today as it allows us to handle automation in variety of ways."
"The Product as a whole is an integrated package with excellent co-relation with all Oracle Applications and any web-based application."
"I can organize test scripts pretty well."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."
"Overall, Oracle Application Testing Suite is very easy to use and you can create a good framework for developing and testing."
"The most critical thing is that this software aligns with our Agile and DevOps way of doing things. It integrates with kickoff scripts through DevOps."
"Sauce Labs provides us with more combinations to test, so we can keep adding platforms and devices to our network. That's been a very seamless experience. Let's say there's an iOS or a private device we need. Sauce Labs has helped get all those set up when needed."
"Being able to test on Windows without a VM has been a life saver."
"Sauce Labs support has been very helpful, and they are always friendly, even when it's not always a direct problem with their service or our usage of it."
"Sauce labs is an easy to use hosted infrastructure for managing/launch all browser versions, mobile web browsers, and native mobile applications for seamless integration testing."
"Running the automation test in the cloud with different sets of devices for both iOS and Android mobile apps."
"Overall, Sauce Labs has provided us with a VM farm that is virtually always up and running and has taken the burden off of us/myself of maintaining the VM farm."
"All features are excellent, especially the parallel runs."
 

Cons

"OATS has some promising features that frankly we wish we could utilize, but so far we haven’t had much luck doing so."
"OTM Test Report – We needed to develop custom reports as there is less flexibility."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."
"The tool runs out of memory when the recording flows are long and involve many screens despite increasing the memory settings for OpenScript."
"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."
"Performance is slow as compared to other tools like QTP."
"Licensing policies could be more intuitive."
"WebForms works fine, but scripting in the EBS forms option isn't very consistent and stable."
"For mobile testing, Sauce Labs platform is great for functional tests, but the option to run tests on real physical devices is missing right now, so it’s impossible to run performance stress tests which is also very important to test mobile apps."
"Connectivity needs to increase."
"Sauce Labs has room for improvement with its price point."
"Getting accurate pass/fail results when running TestNG scripts in parallel by class is a challenge but after some work we figured out a solution."
"The real concern is the load time of applications or real devices when we start our tests."
"A little bit more speed needed to improve it."
"I would like for there to be more detail in regards to the quality of our code i.e. how many failures occurred, how many passed based on industry standard metrics, etc."
"Sauce Labs needs to be improved in the different platforms for farm testing, like iOS and Android farm testing and farm testing web browsers.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
"When you reach the Enterprise licensing tier, base level being with 10 concurrent test sessions, pricing is essentially per-unit-of-concurrency thereafter with a relatively linear increase and not much benefit for "bulk"."
"It could be less like pay-per-use with a lower rate."
"Go ahead please. Try it at a smaller scale."
"​Now that we have an enterprise license, we no longer have to worry about minutes each month!​"
"We did initially go with Sauce Labs because of the pricing and integration."
"Cost-wise, it's decent. If you have to get the base version out of it, it's the best solution to go with. As compared to other cloud service providers, the pricing of Sauce Labs is decent."
"The number of concurrent VMs that Sauce Labs provides depends on your purchase license level."
"We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs."
