One department in my organization implemented a test strategy (both manual as well as automated) with the help of HP Business Process. Because this solution is component based, if used and implemented properly, you really will have a modular framework and it can be reused very well.
- Biggest advantage is - you can use the same components created for manual as well as automated testing
- It has a nice little feature called extended capabilities where you can easily automate tests SAP and oracle type architectures.
- Easy access library lets you create highly reusable and shareable components and the integrations is not that difficult
Cons
- 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.
- As the tool itself promotes re usability, we were able to cut down development and maintenance costs by good %.
- More than cost savings, out no technical folks started building automated tests based on user flows very easily.
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.
