"AI-Powered Self-Healing Tests That Keep Up With Constant UI Changes"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Tricentis Testim?

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.

What do you dislike about Tricentis Testim?

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 problems is Tricentis Testim solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being a university student engaged in web testing automation tasks, Tricentis Testim resolves a number of issues that were very difficult for me before, making the entire testing process much easier and convenient.

The Main Problems Resolved by Testim

Fragility of the Tests: The problem of tests being fragile because of minor UI modifications was one of the hardest ones for me to solve previously using test automation tools like Selenium, as it requires fixing all the test cases when any small UI modification occurs, thus wasting lots of time. Testim solves this problem with the help of AI-powered "Smart Locators" which are able to adapt to the modifications of UI elements without breaking tests.

A Need for Coding: Traditional test automation frameworks require coding skills, which makes some students unable to work with them properly. However, thanks to Testim, such barriers can be overcome, as it is an easy-to-use test automation tool which does not require coding skills from its user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
