Featured Reviews

Rishabh-Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer at Cignity Technology
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.
Muddisetty Arun Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
WorkSoft Certified Automation Engineer at Qualesce
Automation has delivered strong ROI with AI-driven test prioritization and parallel reporting
The best feature of Worksoft Certify is the automatic report generation. Unlike traditional tools like Selenium or Java-based frameworks where reporting often requires custom coding, Certify handles this natively. We are currently utilizing the 14.5 version, which has modernized these capabilities, though we frequently manage backward compatibility for clients still running on the 12.x version series.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helped in running performance testing cycles and identifying the bottlenecks of the application, helping our clients to run their application successfully and smoothly."
"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature, the recording feature is the prime feature that open script has, and I also like the connectivity with Oracle Forms as it is very compatible."
"Now I feel its the best tool to automate any of the Oracle Products, which include Oracle EBS Applications, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Siebel, Adobe Flex, ADF applications, etc.."
"Has good automation and load-testing capabilities."
"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"
"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."
"We like that we don't need a separate management tool. This is a good feature. It also has an inbuilt performance tool which is on Flash. It has very good record and playback feature as well. The inspection tool is also very good. Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."
"This is the best tool I have used till today as it allows us to handle automation in variety of ways."
"We have seen that the initial Worksoft implementation has helped our customers reduce their testing cycle time by 50 percent, and with further continuous improvement, we have seen cycle time reduced up to 75 percent, which is the level of productivity achieved using Worksoft Certify."
"For my processes, Worksoft makes them faster when creating scripts."
"One of the biggest advantages for this solution is codeless automation. Because it is codeless, you can train people within a couple of hours."
"The tool is easy to use. It is a drag and drop Microsoft type of solution."
"Compared with my previous experience of working with Selenium, Java, and Playwright, I found a very good feature in Worksoft Certify where I don't need to change the XPaths."
"It does allow for good reusability. When it's designed properly and utilized properly, we can put things in a way that allows for reusability, meaning a lot of reuse of VA01, if they're very similar flows, to keep it simple."
"We are using it so far for regression testing, and we have reduced 5% to 10% of regression related issues, which is a huge impact on our organization."
"The biggest feature is the fact that it's codeless, which makes it vastly usable by more people who are not even acquainted with IT at all."
 

Cons

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."
"WebForms works fine, but scripting in the EBS forms option isn't very consistent and stable."
"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."
"There is one piece of functionality that is currently not offered and would be very good to have: Support for Digital Certificates authentication and Single Sign-On (SSO)."
"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."
"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."
"Improvements can be made in a number of protocol support areas, including enhanced Citrix support."
"We have stability issues with the server logging off when a script runs from OTM."
"Capture 2.0 is not as useful when you get into more mature automation."
"I would like to see the impact analysis integrated with the performance testing tool. We have multiple tools doing multiple items; I would like to have one common tool."
"For Execution Manager, I would like it to be more robust interface and be able to view the remote machines full screen instead of a little window."
"Some features are missing from a testing perspective. You need to know how to connect everything to create requirements and stability metrics for the routine."
"As part of our weekly regression, we wanted to use Execution Manager. However, from 2017 until March 2021, Execution Manager was not working as expected in our enrollment. It could have been better. If Execution Manager had worked well, then we could have doubled our productivity. Unfortunately, it had problems."
"For the web application, we are facing stability-related challenges because the properties are getting changed, and when the development team makes any backend changes, our Worksoft scripts are getting changed."
"What could be improved in Worksoft Certify is its integration with other tools, for example, test management tools such as Jira, ALM, or any other test management tools. That integration is missing."
"We're really hopeful for the mobile testing in Worksoft Certify going forward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"We no longer need ten people sitting and manually testing something. We can just have one person running the entire regression automation testing suite, and this has saved us dollars."
"The tool is not really good at all because you need to purchase some additional tools."
"Worksoft Certify is priced higher than most tools."
"The initial investment is probably a little high. It was a little hard for me to sell, but it was a one-shot deal and that's why it's so high. All we are doing now is paying annual maintenance, which we don't have to do if we don't want upgrades, but we do."
"I don't have much idea about the pricing, but it is a licensed tool, and it is somewhat costly."
"It saves us time: approximately 50 percent."
"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Worksoft Certify."
"It is expensive compared to some of the other automation tools in the market. However, the benefits and ROI has proved that it has been a good investment."
