The product is easy to learn and any customer making web based application will greatly benefit from a product like this and cut down on testing time. As new code builds go out it's an excellent tool for regression testing. The load testing feature has a great benefit as well and lets us test the limits of the application on different platforms and allows us to tweak the certain area and test again.

Very easy to record both http/https pages and supports all major browsers. Test Element repository is the killer feature that gives you piece of mind and confidence to write and reuse elements for several different scenarios. The built-in testing framework which also includes the .NET Framework Library. Integration with Jira. Supports source control such as GIT and Team Foundation.

Return on Investment
  • We saved a lot of money by using this tool instead of purchasing expensive ones
  • The implementation of integrations test was supposed to take 6 months of development. With GI it took 2 months only
  • Training QA to build integration tests using GI is much less that any other tool that might need development skills
