Luc Vangrunderbeeck - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Test Engineer at Infrabel
Testing solution supports Java testing with good reliability
There is nothing you can do for almost every application. If you do it for a single version, it is rather easy. However, if you want to run it for different versions of the software, then you need the Qt version of Java. You need to set up some special environment variables to be able to do that.
Aws V - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Team Leader -Automation Manager at Citco
Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet
There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product can work with QT applications and cross-cut from them, both on Windows OS and on Mac, as well as on mobile operating systems like iOS and Android too."
"If you are looking for simple, not expensive, with nice support and for Qt-application tool – I think, it’s the best one."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"It supports many platforms, which helps in getting automation solutions for most of the complex UI products."
"The biggest ROI is the time that we got back from our QA team because they didn’t have to manually regression test our product every release."
"Powerful and intuitive Integrated Development Environment (IDE) - I use this IDE daily for creating new tests, debugging tests and running tests."
"Squish is integrated with Qt, which enables us to test the user interface effectively."
"Stable automation framework with its own object library enabled us to move all of the tests to a Continuous Integration farm."
"It works well for us, we can quickly add service agents wherever we need to so we can run multiple scripts in parallel, and it runs pretty strongly while costing just a fraction of a UFT solution."
"Customer Service: Ranorex’s customer service is outstanding."
"Since it is possible to reference the API from some other tools and solutions, instead of being forced to use Ranorex studio, we gained a lot on flexibility and re-using our existing tools and technologies in combination with Ranorex features which are relevant for our test automation process."
"It has reduced the cost of production and operations."
"The most valuable features of this solution are object recognition and the fact that you can memorize the objects."
"It is a good tool to perform user interface testing over a .NET product."
"Cross browser testing and the ability to perform mobile test automation mean you do not need to buy two different solutions for mobile and web channels separately."
"It's easy to use the test suite and add test cases to do our product bug fixes, and software pre-release regression tests, and continuous Integration testing with Jenkins CI tool for each software build test."
 

Cons

"As things stand, continuous integration is very poor, and when you work in production you need many more settings in order to tune it, to be a Web user interface, for example, which is currently impossible."
"I'm relatively new to Squish, so I'm not familiar with all its pros and cons. Currently, I haven't identified any specific improvements. However, one feature I miss is Git integration within the tool. In my previous experience with Selenium and Python in PyCharm, it was straightforward to create and review changes before pushing them. I haven't found a similar option in Squish, and having an integrated tool for managing conflicts would be beneficial in certain scenarios where collaboration is involved."
"ID could be improved with suggestions of names, variables or class."
"The price could be better."
"Support isn't always helpful. I sometimes need to find solutions myself."
"It still requires better solutions for object identification and an enhancement to identify all the objects of the AUT before building the object map."
"You need to set up some special environment variables."
"The only criticism I have is the IDE needed a bit of polish in version 5.2 (this may have been fixed in the latest versions)."
"I have proposed few suggestions to them in the product improvement area."
"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."
"When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too."
"We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier."
"With the new version of Chrome, some objects are identified differently, so we need to identify those and fix the x-path of the object."
"I think it still needs to improve a lot."
"The solution has good quality and functionality but I would not recommend it because of its unfamiliarity in the market."
"There was one instance where I had an issue and contacted them for a solution; they were unable to provide it, and I ended up finding a workaround on my own."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is highly-priced."
"It is expensive."
"The price could be better. I believe each developer license costs about 6000 or 7000 Euros per year."
"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."
"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
