LEAPWORK Automation Platform

Pros: Working with Leapwork is - in all my experience - on of the easiest tools to learn and handle in the test automation process. Having a "new tester" up and running in under a day tells the best story!

Leapwork supports and listen to the customers in a direct manor.

Cons: Problems in letting support getting acces to legacy systems under Leapwork test is not easy.

Overall: The primary goal is automated regressiontesting - robotics testing and in the future autotest in the build and release test.

Pros: It was very easy to use, there are many features, and customer support was helpful.

Cons: The cost was out of our budget, so we had to go with something else.

Pros: It's very convenient and cost-efficient when we can automate the bottleneck areas of our processes that require a lot of repetition such as product testing or business verification.

It's so easy to use because of the flowchart-based method that even those in our team without a technical/specialist knowledge of coding can build cases and execute them with just the click of a button.

Leapwork allows for highly customizable building blocks with virtually no limits on architecture, protocol, application type or age. This makes it so exciting because the possibilities for its applications are limitless.

Cons: I used to occasionally find bugs in the system, but they have been becoming fewer and fewer with each regular software update from the developers. Their CS is just incredible.

Pros: Very easy to create test cases with out being a programmer. Able to review the test as you go. Schedule allow you to have different tests for different deployments. Works great with jenkins and test rails.

Cons: This thing is a memory hog. It cause test to fail because the server become un responsive. I fixed it by have it do a auto reboot ever morning but very annoying.

Overall: I have automation where I had non before.

Pros: It is very easy to use. The tool can work on most kind of applications. I got fast results and it seams to be easy to maintain.

Cons: When I create large scripts/sequens it can be hard to get the grafic to work. Furter it is a shame that I need a grafic interface to run the script. It would be nice if the tool could run without a GPU

Pros: Easy to create and run test scenarios. Can be used both for testing desktop and web application. Easy to scheduling and run test cases

Cons: Cannot add environment for windows server 2008. Test Cases failed if i import test cases on new pc and run with different screen resolution.

Overall: Easy to use

Pros: Very simple to use. Was able to give to a non developer to create tests for a software system that we do customized scripts with but do not develop on our selves.

Cons: Has this on our Jenkins box and it kept locking up because of resourse being used by leaptest. We are working on having a stand alone machine for this.

Overall: You can higher a non developer to create integration test.

Pros: I like the ease of use. I love the ability to create blocks. I like the API it is very user friendly. I like the video in the reports. I love the ability to work remotely on an agent to build tests.

Cons: It has a tendency to crash. In on particular instance an adhoc schedule got stuck running and filled up the HDD. I was forced to restore the server from backup.

Overall: Many I have the ability to rapidly build tests.

Pros: Benefits with the product:
- Very easy to use. Able to allow junior team members to begin applying knowledge and skills in an automated environment.

- Intuitive. There are blocks for many different applications.

- Cost effective. Lowers TCO and overhead.

- Effective increase in ROI. With lower TCO, ROI is gained by freeing up person cycles to work on more productive tasks.

- Customizable. The product allows for creating unique blocks specific to your user environment.

- Good value. The product cost is low compared to the cost of hiring additional bodies that are specifically dedicated to automation. The need to hire in a specific skill arena is diminished greatly with LeapTest. Tester skillsets are still needed but can be more broadly focused in many discipline arenas now.

Cons: Challenges with the product:
- Customer care. The team is great but resources are limited. My team is working with a member of the LeapTest team but they are on vacation. This has slowed response time considerably.

- Limitations in recognizing text in different applications. One noted example. Putty an application that allows you to connect to Linux systems cannot recognize text that is returned on the putty console.

- Certified training. Video training is fine but limited. Being able to have a team member certified adds to team competency when working with others and company partnerships.

- Bug tracking integration. Limited integration between different bug trackers.

Overall: Lower TCO in Testing department. Able to quickly train up junior members of the team with a cost effective automation tool.

Enhance product quality by creating more rapid testing against the product and test more frequently.

Pros: I am able to do everything I use to do with Selenium in a much shorter time without writing any code

Cons: It is difficult to store tests in a code repository. The check-in process shows conflicts in the test files that are not easy to recognize. We worked around this by storing tests (assets) in a shared network drive

Overall: Testers without coding experience can create tests. Everyone can create tests much faster
