Lack of native mobile test automation support.

Some of the popular test management tools are not integrated (Testrail).

Needs more reporting options and improved security.

The Trainer sits right next to your application while you are creating your tests and allows you to record a user journey. From there you can modify and enhance the test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mabl documentation could include more specific examples. Also, mabl uses labels to organize tests. It can be confusing and a learning curve. It would be helpful if test and test plans could be organized by applications. Also, it would be helpful to be able to produce detailed reports of test plans and the results of all the tests that were run within a plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That you can run a particular application and record the steps as you go. You also can create tables for redundancies. For example, I needed to test all the available options on a particular screen. Instead of writing a long test, I was able to write a simple test that cycled thru the options in the table. It was simple and made the process very easy. This one test saved me days of manual testing.

With the addition of the Univerity, it is easier for new users to learn how to use Mabl. Plan ahead so that you can easily find your work. For example, begin the name with your project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Mabl records the step wrong or simply saves it wrong. You have to record that step again, and it looks the same, and it will work.

There are times when the only test only runs successfully when in a test plan. I am unable to run the test to see if it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good test run features, nice autohealing, and one can start really quick with a record-playback option.

Record-playback also records a lot of element's properties and usually works good. But it is not a silver bullet. If your app is not built testable, it won't help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to be able to run mobile tests in different browsers as well, not only Chrome.

I'd like to have nested flows (like use a flow inside the flow) and a native integration with Testrail.

and mobile apps testing as well. to cover it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use since it's UI based. Easy to configure plans and trigger times to run.

No maintenance on your part other than to update the app. Compared to using open source solutions like protractor, selenium, node.js, and webdriver. There you have to make sure everything is updated and hopefully one update doesn't break the other. Also in order to run our tests, we had to use another 3rd party service like Saucelabs.

It's on the cloud so it's easy to use from different computers. There's no development environment to create locally that can only be accessed from that computer.

Ability to test mobile web.

Error reports are easy to understand. Screenshots and logs can be downloaded.

Tech support is fast to respond to your questions. Usually within 30 mins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not having the ability to code your test as an option. I previously used Quick Test Pro with another company where that tool had a recording feature that allowed you to modify the source code it generated. You could also start clean and code from scratch using their language. That way you can really control your test to a micro level. That was a positive with using Protractor. You had more control and do not have to rely on if the UI supports what you want to do and how to get to it.

Not a big community for support. With open source solutions there are a lot of users so if you run into a problem or need to find out how to do something, you can search stackoverflow and someone will have an answer.

Mabl auto heal feature can be annoying. Trying to be too smart. It will tell me it auto healed a test even though I did not set it to do so. I have test where I pick a different photo every time the test is run and it will auto heal saying that photo is different from the last time you ran the test.

No option to replay the test that was run. Their results log has each step that was run with a screenshot but sometimes watching how the test ran and failed is easier to understand what went wrong. Saucelabs had this option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is the most user-friendly testing tool I have ever seen. It is refreshing to see a testing application which truly is intuitive, easy to use, and actually works on pretty much all applications! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing model makes it hard to budget for (and thus scale) in large companies. They need a way to cap the executions, so large corporations can easily budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mabl is very intuitive and it's easy to learn the basics to make and maintain tests. I like the support team too, even if I don't often need to interact with them. And a really helpful feature is having captures of each step of a run and a comparison with a baseline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On my website, there are some areas with the current date displayed and at each execution, Mabl warns because of visual changes on this area so I can't use this kind of warning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
