Evaluating TestComplete and Competitors
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
We have evaluated Test complete and UFT as the options and the decision is purely because the test complete was able to identify the UI elements from the product than the UFT.
We will also consider the performance of the product when having large suites. that is something we did not consider at the beginning of the evaluation and have been problematic now for us.
