Smart locators and small learning curve streamline test automation, minimizing maintenance and boosting efficiency.
Testim has a specific feature called a smart locator. Anyone experienced in test automation knows this is one of the most complex parts of developing automated scripts. The Testim feature automatically finds the locators, which helps us build stable test scripts. Stable scripts are crucial for receiving faster and more reliable feedback. I have also seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes.

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

"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."
"The Testim technical support is very responsive and worked with a specific team member on the First Databank side to answer hard technical questions and took enhancement requests as needed."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the recently added AI feature."
"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."
"The stability has been great; we can add stable tests very easily and improve our automation coverage, which allows us to deploy a new version into production every few days with minimum manual labor."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"We primarily use the solution for business E2E testing, as it is fast and reliable, easy to maintain, and allows for the involvement of QA as well as Dev and BA."
"The feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."
"Automating our manual processes has saved us 70 to 80 percent of manual effort."
"Easy migration is a positive aspect if you're migrated to ECC or HANA or any platform in terms of SAP."
"Mostly in the area of project testing, the most immediate benefit is when you historically have manual testers do a certain job, and a full regression testing was previously done 100 percent manually. We have had cases where the release testing for an entire region would take around 12 weeks. With Worksoft, we are now down to two to three weeks. So, that is one use case where we have had success."
"The most valuable features of Worksoft Certify are the way we can maintain the processes and sub-processes inside, we can immediately identify and replicate multiple objects in the application without having a major issue with it, and we are able to do a lot of operations even with the solution being completely scriptless, which is a large advantage compared with other automation tools."
"If we write a new test that's 80 percent the same as an existing test, it is pretty straightforward to reuse the steps from existing tests for our new tests and build upon them."
"I would say Worksoft Certify is good and the best one to date when automating an SAP platform."
"We have been able to save on a lot of manual work for some very high skilled, expensive resources. This has been able to free up a significant amount of their time so they can spend more time on innovation and more creative, value-add activities. That's been one of the more rewarding things that we've done, and the most appreciated."
"It's module based and it's giving functionality."
 

Cons

"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."
"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind, for instance - instead of going in and out of the editor every time I want to view test data for a test, I could just view the test data in the table, or the ability to copy steps through tests."
"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."
"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."
"There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it."
"I get a little bit confused while creating new branches."
"Another negative of this tool is that its license is costly. It is a bit more expensive than other tools."
"In version 14.5, there are still many bugs; for example, in CTM, we can see many timeout issues, and additionally, Worksoft Certify sometimes closes windows automatically."
"The problem with Worksoft Certify is that it's not always stable. It runs on a live platform that's constantly changing, so the test script needs to be adjusted every time, which is very painful."
"For the couple of the issues that we were really scratching our heads over, we were in communication with the technical support several times, but they never got back to us."
"We would like this to be able to be used outside of SAP applications, as it would be good for other types of products."
"On the Capture 2.0 topic, we were not satisfied, because we had a version that wasn't really tested from my perspective."
"I would like BPP to have more filtering options during the report creation. This would make our customers happy."
"The stability needs help. This is main thing that needs help, and if it's not the stability, then it's Worksoft's ability to respond to issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."
"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Worksoft has paid for itself fives times over."
"Cost-wise, compared with other tools, it is a great product."
"We have seen ROI by being able to free up and give time back to the business for other value-added work."
"The tool is not really good at all because you need to purchase some additional tools."
"The initial upfront cost in terms of licenses, plus all the money that we spent developing tests, has proven it's worth. Now, we can do a regression test suite in ten days as opposed to sixteen weeks."
"We would purchase more licenses right now if they were cheaper. Pricing is a little bit of a hindrance."
"This solution is expensive."
"I can only judge based on the situation that we had around six years ago when we did the tool evaluation. Worksoft was not the cheapest, but it provided the value. For 25 concurrent licenses, we paid more than €400,000, so it was not cheap. In the end, if you see how much time you are saving and compare it with others, its price is okay. We had also compared its cost with the licensing costs for HP and Tricentis, and they were at another level. Now, as we have already booked the licenses, we only have to pay an annual maintenance fee, which is 70%, and that is okay."
