Rainforest QA: Agile On Steroids

What do you like best? 1) Speed of results: we run our extensive regression test suite in as little as 30 minutes. This used to take 2 person weeks. 2) Maintainability: Rainforest QA makes our large regression test suite easy to maintain. Writing new tests for our latest development sprint or modifying exisiting tests in case of an application refactoring is just changing the text in a few places. What do you dislike? 1) The cost is significant. We currently run a regression test ...

A solid option that requires ongoing attention but scales well

What do you like best? I can get a full QA run done quickly, at any hour of the day What do you dislike? Tests have to be written in a very specific way. Testers follow instructions to the letter and won't make any assumptions or logical leaps, even when you think it should be obvious. This produces very predictable results, but it also means writing tests that produce a passing result can require a fair amount of trial and error. Recommendations to others considering the product: ...

Your mileage may vary

Might be good in some cases but really didn't work for us

What do you like best? Honestly, we didn't get any value from it. We spent the entire time trying to get it up and running in a way that works with their system. What do you dislike? We were sold something different than what we got. I wish we would have trialed the product. We ended up buying and getting no value from it but it was too late at that point. We also ran into many false positives where it said something was broken when it wasn't. Recommendations to others considering ...
