Automation Testing
Comparison of Automation Testing features of Product A and Product B
The tool has evolved to be the market leader in paid GUI testing, at last count, there are over a dozen add-ins (not including subtypes) that can be selected at startup based upon the technology of the application being tested. This includes the standard web types to new mobile applications. It can be plugged into your development tool of choice and reports the results to whatever level you desire.
My organization heavily customizes Salesforce to align it with specific business processes, adding custom fields, workflows, and triggers. With each Salesforce release or customization update, we need to ensure that existing functionalities and customizations remain intact.Tricentis Test Automation for Salesforce excels in this scenario. Its ability to create and execute comprehensive regression test suites efficiently ensures that customizations don't introduce unexpected issues or regressions. We can automate the validation of custom workflows, triggers, and data integrity, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.
Integration & Support: a) The way tool integrates with other platforms like .net, mainframe is amazing. It Supports new and legacy web technologies, terminal emulators, and Windows thick client applications. b) It Supports Continuous integration by integrating with Jenkins, Git etc. c) UFT supports cross browser testing & it supports all main browsers like IE, Firefox, Chrome and Apple Safari. d)It’s compatibility with ALM can help store automation execution results back in ALM & even allows us to schedule the automation execution at required date/time.
Amazing Features: UFT has so many features but at the same time, it is quite easy to learn & it doesn’t take long to train staff on it. Few amazing features which adds lot of value while scripting are:
a) Test Combinations Generator (TCG) - It helps to create test configurations by using the parameters in tests and their possible values to create multiple possible data combinations.
b) Insight Recording – It recognizes controls based on their appearance and not their native properties. This can be useful to test controls from an environment that UFT does not support or even from a remote computer running a non-Windows operating system. When UFT runs the test or component, it recognizes the controls in the application by matching them to the images saved with each of the Insight test objects.
c) UFT has built in reporting features as well as allowing for customized output files showing exactly where a test step failed along with the timestamp.
UFT supports BPT (Business Process Testing), a component-based testing framework which provides strong and efficient platform to test complete business process manually and automatically combines manual and automation tests with less duplication and its component reusability feature makes the testing process very fast.
It helps improving efficiency in regression testing and functional testing, in that we automate a lot of repeatable tasks.
Organization doesn’t need to have a skilled coder to write a basic automation script with UFT.
Various formats of reporting support should be possible. Right now UFT supports exporting reports in either HTML or PDF in short or detailed format. If exporting reports could be extended to Excel, CSV, XML, XSLT, MHT formats that would be greatly appreciated.
They should improve performance. There will be performance degradation on the test environment due to long continuous executions of automation scripts which leads to inconsistency of results, a better way to resolve this problem should be addressed at some point.
Consistency during execution should be maintained.
Challenges: Managing test data in Salesforce, especially when dealing with complex data models and large datasets, can be challenging. While Tricentis supports data-driven testing, it can be more intuitive in terms of data generation, manipulation, and maintenance.
Room for Improvement: Tricentis could benefit from improved test data management features, including the ability to easily create, import, and export test data. Additionally, the tool could offer more built-in data generation options, data masking capabilities, and better integration with external data sources to simplify the test data setup process.
Scriptless Testing for Complex Scenarios:
Challenges: While Tricentis offers a user-friendly interface for test case creation, some complex Salesforce scenarios may still require scripting knowledge. This can be a hurdle for business users or testers with limited scripting expertise.
Room for Improvement: Tricentis could enhance its scriptless testing capabilities by providing more advanced, yet user-friendly, features for handling complex scenarios. For example, improving the visual test design interface to accommodate intricate conditional logic, dynamic data handling, and complex user interactions without requiring scripting would make the tool more accessible to a broader range of users.
Very good tool, first of this kind so no element to compare but still very good tool. It allows us to gain a lot of time and to be very deep in the testing phases
HPE are quick to reply and it's possible to get through to the actual developers shuold the case warrent it. Their online system allows updates and tracking of all incedents raised.
UFT has the advantages of supporting different types of technologies. Different competitive tools were not able to support the wide range of technologies which UFT does. UFT has a strong history and has been ranked one among all the Test Automation tools for quite some time. There is a wide and strong community across the internet.
We selected Tricentis Test Automation due to it's ease of use. It was the pricier option out of the competitve pool, however, it was important for us to have a scalable solution that integrated with all of our technologies and platforms. It was the most user-friendly tool and took the least amount of time to onboard individuals.
