Leapwork

Vorteile

For the last 8 months I've been using Leaptest, and so far I've not been disapointed, the basic functionalities are easy to use and the ability to create custom buildingblocks and implement my test cases in a 3rd party programs is great (the cases is running up against our Bamboo server)
The support is very helpfull and take every request/question I make seriously. I do find bugs in the system, but these are getting fixed quite fast, updates comes regularly.

What I like most about it is the fact that its easy to explain to non it workers how it works, this makes it a great tool for automated test, you dont need to understand code to be able to use it.

Nachteile

A desktop testcase tends to run slow when running it up against my own server.
Using Selenium is great, but the same testcase can give different results when I run it up against Chrome, FF and IE , when a bug like this is found, support cant always fix it since they are dependant on a 3rd party program( ex. we must wait for Modzilla to release a new webdriver version)

Also that lack of a proper debugging tool when debugging your test is really annoying, ex. when I use custom building blocks within a test case and it fails, I can only see what custom block failed, but not within it the specific location.

Vorteile

The ease os use of Leapwork is what makes this product a win. Our staff is able to create automation without the knowledge needed from other products on the market. With the ease of creation and maintenance, we traded the license cost for what would be multiple employees manually exercising the same tests, for an obvious cost savings.

Nachteile

We have not found many negatives to the Leapwork solution. We are anxiously awaiting the SQL Enterprise database implementation, but other than that we are pleased with the offering.

Vorteile

Creation of test cases via GUI without coding. Reliable running test cases. Easy installation and setup.

Nachteile

Difficult troubleshooting, as logging quickly becomes confusing. Product updates must always be tested intensively.

Vorteile

The ease of use and make test cases. Even without much knowledge and interest in coding; a tester can make complex test cases to automate.

Nachteile

There is less possibility to debug. If we use a customized building block; we cannot run the case from there and cannot see inside that block what went wrong in which step.

Vorteile

Very intuitive software; no coding skills required; you can stick to basic functionality but also do more advanced tasks.
The image recognition really exceeded our expectations and is very fast.
Very good and fast online support. Excellent tutorials, really helps you getting started.
Scheduling cases and getting reports works perfect for our needs.

Nachteile

Getting the information on how to set it all up and how the entities work together is a bit hard to find. You can find the information, but it's a bit hidden on their site.
Text recognition is pretty slow.

Vorteile

You don't need to know how to code to automate test cases. LW helps you to do it in a very simple and straightforward way. What I like best is a great customer service it provided. Anytime you need help, they are ready to support to you. They are also willing to provide you with ready-to-use flow so you can apply to your test case.

Nachteile

There are some situations that it is difficult for LW to handle. For example, DOM sites are heavy for LW to work with. Additionally, this is a built software so it definitely has some bugs. When using it, you will know what they are.
