Testim

Pros: Testim is easy to learn and use, making it simple to automate large regression test suites and save time. The platform offers powerful CLI and API integrations for flexibility, and the support team is incredibly helpful and quick to resolve any issues. It has also reduced the need for extra QA hires by streamlining workflows and boosting efficiency.

Cons: While Testim is powerful tool, applying complex JavaScript functions to tests can be challenging. The UI sometimes lags when working with larger tests, which can slow down the workflow.

Overall: Testim has been a game-changer for test automation, making it easy to manage and update regression tests while saving significant time and resources. Despite a few challenges with complex scripts and occasional UI lag, the platform's ease of use, powerful features, and excellent support team make it a highly valuable tool for QA efficiency.

Pros: Great stability and functionality. Never encountered any major problems in my tenure of using it. Easy to adapt as well.

Cons: New functionality like AI would be cool, other than that it's good.

Overall: Overall, super easy to use. Never encountered any major problems in my tenure of using it. Easy to adapt as well. Highly recommended. New functionality like AI would be cool.

Pros: Great tool for UI testing if you need to automate as quick as possible. Also, the learning curve is short, no need to break yourself into the documentation.

Cons: You cannot move multiple test cases one shot; sometimes, the locator is not easy to edit. Also the test sometimes returns a false error because of the wrong behavior of the locator.

Overall: Easy and user friendly. For beginners it's recommended because of the short learning curve, and code less.

Pros: Ease of use
Great support and product with a lot of features and new features introduced very often.

Cons: Hard to hire people with relevant experience.
Need time to learn how to design tests properly to scale.

Overall: Very good product.

Pros: Testim is an excellent low-code automation solution that is approachable to everyone.

Cons: I have not come across any issues with this application yet.

Overall: From users who have no coding experience all the way to developers who can write custom steps.

Pros: Everything,
Testim onboarding process is very supportive and it went smoothly.
Once we have got the hang of it, writing tests was a breeze and allowed us to focus on the quality of our product and development rather than focusing on solving issues with our automation and spending a lot of time writing E2E tests.
Other than that, it allowed us to scale our team in terms of development velocity since now we don't need a designated dev to write these kinds of tests.

Cons: Sometimes they have a few bugs with their features, but their support team is always available and answers quickly.

Overall: Great experience, easy to use, and it really works!
if the SLA of your piece of software is important for you, then have no second thoughts regarding this great product and service.
there's just no way you can reach this level of robustness and ease of use when developing your own Selenium-based framework

Pros: It's very quick and easy to build a successful automation infrastructure that finds bugs in our product.

Cons: 1. For me missing the option to see the overall network logs per all tests that ran. It can be a very good feature for testing. Even if test passed, sometimes there are some bad network responses that can be good to examine them

2. Missing option to see the failed test that passed in rerun

Overall: Really best solution that I worked with. We just ran a successful automation infra in 1/4 time that we could do with Selenium.

Pros: Testim did great job investigating and addressing all famous automation pain points.

First, they take care of all the "side work" (environments, code libraries, setups, versions, etc.) allowing companies to fully concentrate on increasing testing coverage of their business flows.

Second, being stable, reliable and intuitive solution, it allows achieving impressive outcome quite fast. Following best practices, it is quite easy to build very scalable automation project. There was nothing I couldn't achieve with Testim using it for almost a year by now.

Next, the Smart Locators mechanism proves itself de-facto: UI changes but tests keeps running identifying the elements by alternative identifiers.

Last but not least, reporting tools are highly self explanatory allowing developers to easily analyze failures and release QA bottle neck.

To summarize, Testim.io is quite a robust tool allowing to establish and maintain effective automation using both codeless and coded techniques. It is important to understand, that technical background is required to achieve success in automation project. Record&Play is a great start, however in order to be scalable, following the concepts of programming basics (such as reusable components, parameters, loops and conditions) is essential in order to be able to always extend the coverage rather than spending time on tests' maintenance upon application changes.

Having the availability (and passion 🙂) is all you need in order to succeed with Testim.

Cons: There are always things to improve to any software and I have a list of my "nice to have" enhancement requests which is being addressed in our Product-Customers channel. None of them is a showstopper.

Overall: From my experience with different automation tools in the past I wholeheartedly believe that "Automation is not an auto-magic". To be efficient, it requires investment. And open source automation tools are not that free as it might seem.
I have been dealing for months with all these "around automation" issues - setups, configurations, environment maintenance, and other technical infrastructure which is important because automation won't work if I don't handle that, but the time that was left for really authoring tests which could show actual value was about 20% of my time (not even talking about dealing with locators and other ongoing maintenance).

This is why I truly believe that to bring real value to my company it would be most effective if we hand over this "side-effect headache" to external professionals who will take care of everything but the business flows and we will add coverage much faster.

Testim gives great value for money allowing to deliver high quality software in a shorter time.

Additionally, Testim is more than just software. It is also a community, shared by Testim staff and customers, where we have the opportunity to exchange customers experiences, participate in road map reviews, join various automation expert panels being held on an ongoing basis and this whole thing increases our level of expertise providing the opportunity to share and learn. This professional growth of employees is definitely a gift companies gain from their cooperation with Testim.
