IBM DevOps Test UI vs. Tricentis Testim

IBM Rational Functional Tester is good for automating thick applications.

Testim has been great at automating Frontend and integration regression testing. I do not think it would work wellTricentis Testimfor backend code testing, if it could not be done through UI. The record function is very good, and makes automating test cases much faster and more accurate. We have had great success using Testim to verify SalesForce environments, NetSuite environments, and our own JumpCloud application as well.

• An execution log in html format provides detailed information of the actions, verifications, and screenshots with timestamps.
• Quick response and good support. IBM releases frequent updates to handle customer needs and fix issues.
• A solid object inspector, extensive functional library and playback monitor.

Incentivized

• It provides a codeless testing environment, allowing non-technical users such as business analysts and testers to create and maintain automated tests without writing code. This democratizes test automation and accelerates test creation.
• The platform leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms to analyze user interactions with the application and automatically generate test scripts. This significantly reduces the time and effort required to create test cases.
• Its AI capabilities enable tests to adapt to changes in the application's user interface (UI) automatically. If UI elements change, the platform can identify and update the tests accordingly, reducing maintenance overhead.

Incentivized

• Installation or updates were not always perfect. Would have to clean previous installations or reinstall Java if there were errors.
• No or very limited support of browsers outside of Internet Explorer.
• Uses a lot of memory, can have memory issues on large tests.

• Providing more comprehensive reporting and analytics capabilities, including customizable dashboards and insights into test execution results, could help users gain deeper insights into their test coverage and quality.
• Expanding integration capabilities with a wider range of external systems, tools, and test management platforms could increase flexibility and interoperability within the testing ecosystem.
• Enhancements in organizing and managing test scenarios and test suites could improve the user experience. Features such as better folder structures, tags, and hierarchical organization could make it easier to manage large test suites.

We are using Testim all the time. Every new, big we roll out feature has tests and it is our only tool for regression tests.

The customer support is the best I have ever experienced, both personally and in a job role. The chat anytime is a very nice option, there has never been more than a few minute wait to connect with someone, and the agents are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Selenium is similar to IBM Rational Functional Tester but is not as user friendly and does not support thick applications. Visual Studio Coded UI is newer so not as refined; the object inspector/management and execution log results is poor compared to IBM Rational Functional Tester.

We evaluated several other products, and what gave Tricentis Testim the edge was the ease of use, the customer support and the pricing. While others seemed to have a bit more complex functionality, we have been able to build almost every use case the way we would expect, with very few workarounds.

Incentivized

• Speeds up and broadens the testing cycle by using machine time for regression testing.
• Frees up time for testers to focus on critical items outside the automated suite.

Incentivized

• Tricentis Testim has helped us run a thorough regression daily, something that we were unable to do before
• Tricentis Testim has helped us to catch many seemingly unrelated bugs in a test environment the day of/day after code changes
• Tricentis Testim low code approach has helped us to create automation tests much faster, with more confidence, and allows much easier maintenance
