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.

Performance testing has delivered diverse global retail loads and generates clear diagnostic reports
I did not notice any weak points or downsides in Tricentis NeoLoad except for the cost. Everything else is good with the tool. When I consider that service customers have to pay the cost for the load generation, I find that the cost increases, especially when I want to generate a load for a global customer with different loads in different regions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My advice to others is if they are using any Oracle Cloud Fusion-based or on-premise-based application, this is a good solution to use."
"Helps us to reduce the workload to check the system."
"We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users."
"This is the best tool I have used till today as it allows us to handle automation in variety of ways."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."
"Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."
"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."
"NeoLoad helped us to transition from load testing to continuous performance measurement."
"Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter."
"Simple capturing of dynamic variables and simple scripting."
"Outside of the obvious benefits of load testing, the data we get back and are able to provide at the executive level provide a level comfort in the given application at peak periods, and drives direction for future performance-oriented projects and goals."

"We have stability issues with the server logging off when a script runs from OTM."
"I have faced issues with some indexing items."
"We would like to see the addition of one-to-one integrations with the Tricentis Tosca suite to this product, which would then cover the end-to-end needs of our customers who are looking for a single vendor solution."
"Tricentis NeoLoad could improve the range of codeless scripting such as with terminal emulation apps."
"The only issue that I had was with network virtualization on load generators installed on Windows Server 2008 R2."

"LoadRunner offers a full protocol, whereas, with this product, only a few of the protocols are supported - not all."
"The SAP area could be improved."
"The ability to show transactions per second during the test run is missing; currently, we have to eyeball the TPS using the graph."
"The protocol support area could be improved."
