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

"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 ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."
"It enabled us to cover our app in end-to-end tests very quickly with quality results."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"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."
"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."
"The feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."
"The product is easy to use."
"What I like about Worksoft Certify is that end-to-end testing becomes faster."
"We save probably 50 percent of our time, the tool does what it's supposed to do, and we are able to actually work."
"For my processes, Worksoft makes them faster when creating scripts."
"Worksoft developed a tool to support ERP testing. All prebuilt functions are good at steering the application when the test is executed."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is having a no-code solution for automation, so our QA team and some of our business users can work on automation. Then, they don't have to be developers."
"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, 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."
"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."
"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."
"The accessibility reporting features could be more robust to be reported at the script level and allow users to map down to the step level."
"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."
"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."
"I get a little bit confused while creating new branches."
"One feature that we have been asking for has been to treat tests as code and store the source code for tests in a configuration management tool. Right now, for version control of testing, it's all internally within the tool. If we have a test of a business process and want to revive that test, our methodology now is purely manual work. We go into the tool, create a copy of the existing test, and call the next one: v2. Now, we have two of them and the only way you can tell them apart is by its naming convention."
"We're really hopeful for the mobile testing in Worksoft Certify going forward."
"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."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where certain improvements are required."
"An area that I would like to see improved is how the permissions are applied. If you're applying permissions groups to a user, one of the options is to delete the group entirely and lose the entire permission group, rather than just deleting the permission from the user, which seems a little silly. In my opinion, that whole module of permissions is very confusing and lends itself to common errors."
"For beginners, I think this is the most problematic aspect."
"I am aware that they have some challenges with some of their support resources, especially offshore which is very common. I don't think this is specifically a Worksoft issue. It always seems to be a software issue, and I know that Worksoft is aware of this and they are trying to make some improvements."
"To improve or enhance Worksoft Certify in future releases, I believe integrating AI would be really great, as the market is moving towards AI. Additionally, features such as image recognition and more advanced OCR techniques could be developed further; currently, these features do exist, but they are not up to mark."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."
"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."
"The solution is not expensive."
"This solution has enabled our clients to automate and save time (approximately 40 to 50 percent)."
"We have an annual license for this solution. The product is very expensive."
"We could use Certify to do robotic process automation, which is basically running a process on your correction system instead of your test system. Therefore, we may do that in the future."
"Worksoft Capture 2.0 can help our customers to accelerate their automation development at least 40 percent faster than any other commercial tools available in the market."
"Our ROI is primarily a reduction in testing time. The testing, when we were doing it manually, was 30 to 40 percent of the project's cost."
"Cost-wise, compared with other tools, it is a great product."
"We ended up buying too many licenses. They were very good at selling it to us, and probably oversold it a little. We bought 45 licenses and have never used more than twenty. However, they gave us a pretty significant discount on the bigger license, so it made sense for us to buy enough that we wouldn't have to go back and ask for more."
"Saving money and better quality, these are the benefits of Certify."
