Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."The way Appium server interacts with mobile apps is fantastic. It provides all the information about the elements inside the app, Android as well as iOS. I can interact with the element quickly, just type some text or get some text values from the element - whether it's a drop-down, or web text, or a native element."
"We get a list that shows all devices that are connected to the system."
"The best feature of Appium is that it allows you to inspect the element. With the Appium Inspector, you don't have to install another application to do the inspection. I also like that Appium has Android device connectivity. Currently, most people use Appium as automation software, and I haven't found any other tool that's more powerful than Appium."
"The most valuable features of Appium are the in-built functionality, which we can use in our code. For example, move back, move front, navigate one page before, and navigate one page ahead. You can do this by using the in-built functions from Appium."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Appium is it supports iOS and AOS and is open-source."
"It has great documentation and excellent community support."
"Appium helps me to do as much as much as I want to."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to execute parallel requests, unlike JMeter and LoadRunner which can only be run sequentially."
"In my opinion, correlation of dynamic data is the most important advantage of this tool."
"It offered us an easy to use, limited code option for end-to-end performance testing."
"What I found best in Tricentis NeoLoad is that it's better with scripting and load test execution in the load testing environment compared to its competitors. The tool has a better design, scenarios, and model, which I find helpful. I also found the Result Manager a fascinating part of Tricentis NeoLoad because of the way it collates results and presents reports. The straightforward implementation of Tricentis NeoLoad, including ease of use, is also valuable to my team."
"We appreciate that this solution is very user-friendly, even if the user does not have a lot of protocol knowledge and experience."
"The stability is okay."
"Very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good."
"The most useful aspect of Tricentis NeoLoad was for the web."
"An application developed on the Unity platform, such as a gaming application, objects are moving in that case. Interacting with those elements is still lacking in Appium. Appium doesn't have the internal library to play with the Unity platform. That is a huge lack right now."
"We haven't been able to fully leverage Appium for multiple reasons. I think number one is just that the tests take a long time to run. We have had some issues around just the results themselves and how predictable they are, but those are not issues with Appium directly."
"Stability is an area that needs some improvement."
"It needs to accommodate applications that use React.js and AngularJS."
"The user interface needs improvement because there are issues when setting up environment variables."
"Configuration-wise, there is a lot of room for improvement."
"They should add an in-built framework."
"We need some bug fixes for nested elements."
"It would be good to make some updates on the reporting side."
"The overall stability of the GUI should be improved. The GUI component is not stable enough. We have observed crashes several times."
"The product is expensive."
"Support wasn't able to solve a technical issue."
"The SAP area could be improved."
"We would like NeoLoad to be able to support more protocols. Testing can also be a little tricky at times."
"Sometimes it's complicated to maintain the test cases. It's much easier than in JMeter, however. I'm not sure if this depends so much on NeoLoad, or is more based on the environment that we are testing."
"Tricentis NeoLoad crashes if an application contains more than 1,000 scripts."
