You may want to consider this solution if you are already using HP ALM and HP UFT. It's a nice add on and encourages the team to think more on building small component based tests and promote lot of reuse. Also, if your team want business analysts or any non technical people build tests based on the flows, its probably the best solution available now. On the down side, the execution times if you have too many components are not great and on top of that you have to pay extra for the licensing. You can also build such frameworks using more open source solutions like bdd solutions.

It is very good for testers who have little coding experience but are willing to learn. It is very good for regression testing and really helps us identify issues that could have been a detriment to our end users. It is also great to keep track of the performance of pages across time.

Cons
Discontinued Products
  • If you are using components for automation testing, the time it takes to load a new component is too high and it sucks off the benefit of component based testing.
  • You want to have many components in a test and so a BA can also create automated tests easily but too many components takes too long to executed .
  • It comes with a cost. You can simply build a modular framework even without this framework and probably more efficiently.

  • Client start-up time is a bit slow. Application is a bit sluggish, when there is a lot of tests open.
  • Automated scheduling environment is a bit challenging to maintain.

The idea for building a component based modular test framework is great and it would be great add-on to HP tools if the add-on efficiency is made high and the cost is low.

Test Studios had a smaller foot print and allowed us to ease into deploying it in the company. The online help was a great benefit to getting started and the evaluation period allowed us to fully run though the product before purchasing it. Cost difference between the products was a big decision factor as well for the type of deployment we were looking for.
