Witbe

What do you like best?

Flexibility, both scripting and manual test cases definition. Can be used for both monitoring on Productive environments and QA in preproduction environments.

What do you dislike?

It's expensive, to get 100% out of the system considerable resources needs to be dedicated and requires constant fine tunning and adaptation to properly cover automation and filter false positive error detection.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Very powerful and useful tool for automation for both PROD monitoring and PREPROD QA automation. However is an expensive solution and requires constant resources dedicated to it. Professional services from WITBE are also expensive so i recommend to dedicate internal resources to set up and maintain the system, although might be hard and time consuming at the beginning in the short mid term will be paying back.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We use WITBe for preproduction QA automated validation for critical path as a first filter to know if a release candidate has the required quality before starting UAT of new functionality.

WE also use WITBE on productive environments to detect problems on the main functionality before users detect them.
