I like how Testim makes it easier to create and maintain automated tests without having to write everything from scratch. The interface is straightforward, and the AI assisted features help speed up test creation and maintenance. It is especially useful when working with frequently changing web applications because updating tests is less time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup can take a little time, especially when getting the test environment and workflows configured. Some tests also need occasional adjustments when the application UI changes significantly, but overall the maintenance is manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most interesting thing for me is the "self-healing" feature using AI-powered locators. Being a student of a university who is developing a web application on a dynamic page in a team of five people, our user interface was always changing. In the classical testing framework (such as Selenium), even the slightest change in a button id would make our whole testing suite useless.

Using Testim, this problem disappears almost entirely. AI will detect any changes in elements and adjust the testing suite automatically without needing me to fix all locators myself. "Self-healing" feature has totally changed my way of work. Now I can spend time not on fixing tests, but on making more complicated test cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tricentis Testim does offer some amazing capabilities in terms of AI-enabled automation, but there have been certain drawbacks that should be considered when using the software, and as a student, you need to know about them:

1. The AI locators may not be as "intelligent" as they claim to be. Though there is a guarantee of self-healing of tests, some elements do not get recognized in the process of automation testing and need a manual change in the locators. The selectors may not be as intelligent as one expects, and tests may break up quite often._locator instability tends to occur in various branches of development.

2. The costs are way too high for a student. Even though there is a trial version available, the price for the paid version is around $450 a month, and the costs for an enterprise version are about $2,000-$5,000 per month and higher. This is out of question for a university student with limited funding for personal projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What appeals to me most in Testim is the ability of the software to use the capabilities of AI in test automation, making the testing more stable and less brittle for dynamic web applications. There will be fewer cases when tests will need maintenance because of changing UI elements that usually happens in case of automation with other tools.

A good feature that should be highlighted is that with Testim it is possible to create and execute tests in a very short period of time, which comes handy when dealing with the environments when releases occur frequently, such as fintech or deep tech.

The other advantage I'd like to mention is that Testim supports cloud-based test execution and has the capability of scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One drawback would be that although the low-code method is very useful in terms of time efficiency, it might become a limiting factor for testing that requires a lot of customization.

Another thing would be the cost associated with TestCraft, especially when compared to other open-source tools for automation testing. The price can be somewhat high for smaller companies. The third drawback would be that it can be quite difficult to figure out the reason behind the failure of certain tests because AI-based locators might play a role.

Testim makes it surprisingly easy to create automated tests without needing a lot of complex setup. The visual editor is very intuitive, and the AI-based element locators help keep tests stable even when the UI changes. It’s great for teams that want to start automating quickly without spending weeks configuring frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the debugging process can take a bit of time when a test fails, especially in more complex flows. The pricing can also become a factor for smaller teams as the test suite grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sales pitch about the holy grail of record and playback is totally impressive, however in reality it's only useful 50 percent of the time, the rest of the time you have to spend it fixing the gaps that the tool doesn't fix. . The reality is that the tests do not heal themselves under any circumstance, neither with AI nor ML or image deeplearning or any other fashionable tool, they can try but always sacrificing more time and not necessarily obtaining the expected result.

The generated code cannot be exported. The integration with github is unidirectional, that is, you can only import information from github to testim.You can't change provider.it is difficult to create custom components. the tests created are fragile and do not always work (flaky test). many results are generated as false positives. Currently it is not a scalable solution for mobile devices, for now it is only possible to use your own mobile devices. Code reuse is not easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After learning the platform, I can easily create and update my tests in a timely manner. I use CLI combined with the API I've never used any competitor software other than Python w/ Selenium Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Applying a complex javascript function to a test is something I struggle with. Sometimes the UI lags when the test grows large, causing inefficient workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very flexible and quick

This product serves me perfectly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really - I think this is the best automation tool I've used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a reliable and efficient tool for certain, simple tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not ideal for teams like mine that prefer tools with a balance of high flexibility and low to no code options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of being able to record test cases by having a users actions recorded automatically. I also appreciate the ease of integration with bug-tracking and CICD tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's is room for improvement with the reporting capabilities. Having an easy to read heat-map of pass/fail functionality would be valuable to understand the health of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
