Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"Katalon Studio's biggest advantage is its price. It's a good tool for the price, albeit with some limitations when you compare it with tools like Tricentis Tosca."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"The functionality of the data is very good. You can upload and disperse data using the solution."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"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."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
