UiPath Test Suite｜Real User Reviews on Application, Mobile, and RPA Testing
In the rapidly evolving landscape of software development, achieving continuous testing and stable continuous delivery without altering existing testing processes or tools is a critical challenge. Two key questions arise:
Software testers are constantly seeking faster, more efficient, and cost-effective ways to manage the increasing demands of continuous delivery.
Test automation, exemplified by UiPath Test Suite, addresses these challenges by accelerating testing processes and saving valuable time and resources.
Users commend its ease of use and seamless integration with other technologies, providing superior automation capabilities compared to alternatives.
UiPath Test Suite enhances the entire testing lifecycle, from planning to analysis, optimizing efficiency and achieving significant cost savings.
Let's dive into why UiPath Test Suite is the ideal solution for modern software testing needs.
6 Common Challenges in software testing that UiPath Test Suite can solve
UiPath Test Suite addresses several common challenges in software testing, including:
5 Ways UiPath Test Suite can improve your testing
(Based on Real User Experiences with UiPath Test Suite)
1. Integrates With Other Technologies
Hundreds of tools are available, and UiPath Test Suite integrates with most of the popular ones. Some tools, like Micro Focus Octane, don’t have native integration, but UiPath has connectors for those.
For a Senior Test Architect at a transportation company with over 10,000 employees, Test Suite’s ability to integrate into the (CI/CD) pipeline was its most significant capability. They have also integrated Test Suite with some pipelines in Jira (Figure 1 captures this setup)
2. Reduces Costs
Testing is an area of IT work that’s under constant cost pressure, commanding an average of 30-40% of an IT budget. As a result, the ability to facilitate more testing for less money is a big plus for any testing solution.
an Automation Lead at Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, a financial services firm with more than 200 employees said that
UiPath Test Suite has significantly lowered the TCO for our testing efforts. Savings come from being able to develop and automate tests in half the time it had previously taken with unit functional testing (UFT).
3. Saves Time for Teams : From 160 hrs to 4 hr / week、From 3 to 1 day
Time is a critically constrained resource in testing, even more significant in some ways than money.
a Senior Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees said that UiPath Test Suite allows them to scale automation. It reduces the time it takes to handle tasks.
One manual tester works 40 hours weekly, and we had four testers, so that’s 160 hours. We can now complete the same work with around four hours of manual work. (From 160hrs/ week to 4 hrs )
The Directorate of Integration and Diversity (IMDI) in Norway, a government agency responsible for implementing public policy on integration and refugees, used Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to streamline its software testing process.
The agency was facing significant delays in its agile development cycle due to manual testing, which was taking up to six weeks.
By automating regression testing using RPA, IMDI was able to reduce the time required for regression testing from three days to just a few hours. This improvement allowed the agency to free up stakeholders from manual testing tasks and focus on other critical activities while maintaining high test quality
Where we were previously spending up to a three days in regression testing, RPA is able to reduce this to around a day. It’s a significant time saving. Our aim is to automate 80% of all our regression testing as we go forward.
a Senior Advisor of IMDI in Norway, a government agency said that
We have constructed our own test data that can be used and re-used in our testing, With RPA, we’ve developed bots that enter this data into the system in the same way as a third party would have. The robot sends the data in the correct sequence at the right time on every occasion. That saves us a lot of time, maybe half a day. Then, we can also send the test data through other processes that the user doesn’t have to do themselves.
4. Provides Better Automation Capabilities Than Other Vendors
The secret to successful software testing lies in test preparation – especially in ensuring that the test data is correct. If the preparation is correct, everything else follows.
Automation is at the heart of UiPath Test Suite. As part of the UiPath Business Automation Platform, Test Suite allows all teams within an organization to leverage a single platform for both robotic process automation (RPA) and test automation needs.
an RPA Lead Consultant (Developer/ TL/Architect) at Eway LLP said that
It can maintain data in one place which makes it faster than other tools....I’ve worked on a variety of automation solutions and UiPath has been the best in my experience.
a Sr. Consultant at MindFields Consulting said that
My impression of UiPath Test Suite having the ability to automate tests from a wide range of technologies is that it has the advantage over other tools. UiPath Test Suite definitely had an advantage. Even Automation Anywhere and Power Automate didn’t have the functionalities found in the UiPath Test Suite.
5. Easy to Use : requires no coding skills
Having direct integration and reducing coding is key to simplifying everything. Making it possible for business users to get involved in testing is another major advantage.
Eway LLP’s RPA Lead Consultant said that
UiPath helps reduce time in creating testing and frameworks. It makes everything very easy. Data and summary reports are all right there.
Finance of America Mortgage’s VP of Technology Automation said that
Our QA analysts, who are not technical, have been trained to use Test Suite to automate regression testing because the tool is easy enough for them to use. As a result, we are no longer paying expensive developers to create the regression tests. Instead, the QA analysts can automate regression testing themselves.
What makes UiPath Test Suite stand out ？
UiPath Test Suite is an AI-powered software testing platform that offers a comprehensive solution for both RPA and application testing.
The platform is composed of four main components that work together to enable efficient testing across various systems and applications. Compared to other tools like Selenium, UiPath Test Suite stands out with its AI-powered approach and comprehensive testing capabilities.
In Summary : The Business Value of UiPath Test Suite
IDC’s study in 2024 shows how organizations spanning different industries that include the banking, healthcare, and insurance sectors use UiPath Test Suite as part of the UiPath Business Automation Platform solution, including testing and process automation, to ensure higher application and service quality in an efficient and effective manner.
