Quality Specialist 2A at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Has reduced manual testing effort with customization options but occasionally crashes during complex executions
One improvement would be to integrate it with modern technologies such as AI, so we can generate test cases by providing the details so that it can generate the structure, and later the person working can modify and enhance it. We can add more customized tools, and reporting can be enhanced. Currently, the reporting part is at a step level, and it does not give details for a particular test case, so improvements in those areas would be beneficial. There are performance issues where the tool crashes sometimes. In particular use cases with numerous steps, it experiences crashes. I have encountered stability and performance issues with it.

Cloud-based testing has simplified remote mobile validation and provides flexible device coverage
I was not impressed with how detailed their analytics and logs are from LambdaTest. The solution we were testing is being used because many of us are working from home. It was easy to implement because with a real phone, we have to bring a real phone to each person. Since three years ago, many employees have been working from home, so we were trying to find a solution for this challenge. We had no need to exploit the information for the analytics generated in the background. The purpose was simply to make it easy for our employees to access a phone. The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers. The contrast on a real iPhone provides better contrast than with the cloud solution. The only aspect that was less favorable than on a real phone was the contrast of the color.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SOAtest is, at its base, a collection of tools that can be combined to generate test scenarios, where input data can be gathered from any possible source from web GUIs, databases, Excel, and files and is used in SOAP/REST tools and web browser tools, and the output of those tests can be saved in files and databases, so every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used."
"Utilizing features that support Data Driven testing and E2E has increased efficiencies drastically."
"One of the most valuable features I found in Parasoft SOAtest is its ability to extend the product."
"If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest."
"The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest."
"Parasoft SOAtest improves the quality of the application, increases security and security compliance, and it is a cost-effective tool."
"It totally gives control to the end user to play with data and deploy the changes directly and that reflects in the application."
"We can automate our scenarios in a data driven format, which shows there is no rework on scripts. We only need to update the test data and run for a number of scenarios."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."

Cons

"Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times."
"The platform can become unstable as the memory usage increases."
"In general, its user-friendliness needs a little improvement since there are a few bugs that still remain."
"I was having trouble with the browser automation on my Mac laptop."

"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."

"Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
