The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder.

It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training.

If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice.

AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows.

Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial.
