Cerberus Testing Reviews

Summary: We use Cerberus to test the mobile app, as well as web services on multiple countries and different environments, the tool is very well designed to allow manipulation of manual and automatic tests, thus saving time with test libraries and data variability.
I recommend it.

Positive: Cerberus is an automated functional testing tool that helps testers run manual and automated tests to identify errors contrary to the expected results of the application under test. It allows testing of mobile apps, desktop software, webpage and API (web service).

Why is Cerberus the best testing tool?
Technical and non-technical testers can use Cerberus.
We can test desktop as well as web applications or mobile application and web services.
Very convenient for playing tests on different countries / environments.
Easy to set up and run tests.
Ability to link to bug tracking software to ensure optimal bug monitoring.
Ability to configure it with continuous integration and to launch tests automatically at any time and without interruption.
ability to configure notifications to stay informed of test results in real time.

Negative: Automatic tests are quickly executed, duplicated but remain less precise than manual tests, automated tests allow to eliminate human errors, in short we test what we have preprogrammed quickly and efficiently but not more than that!

Summary: I have been working with the Cerberus tool for more than 2 years.
I realized a mission for Damart to automate front tests for 3 different countries.The variabilization of the data that Cerberus proposes helped me to integrate the tests.
I also used Cerberus for Auchan Retail International for the creation of a campaign of automatic tests at each commit of a developer.

Positive: The tests are simple to set up.
Anyone can use it.
Ability to do API testing.
Ability to do mobile tests.
A data library integrated into the tool.
The variabilization of data in the tool.
The reactivity of the community.

Negative: The tool offers a lot of services but the documentation does not detail everything.

Summary: We use Cerberus within our development factory. Cerberus is used by most of the players (Product owner, Business Analyst, Dev and QA) to exchange either on specification of features, or on reporting. We interfaced it with gitlab CI to launch a campaign after each commit, and teams are automatically informed through Slack if regression appear.

Positive: Easy to setup and to use, there is some smart tutorials.
No constraint on number of users, nor on execution number.
A lot of functionalities for all kind of testing (API, iOS, Android, Web....etc).
Easy to maintain.
Open Source.

Negative: There are a lot of actions and controls, but it could be good to have the possibility to extend them with plugin for example.

Summary: Great tool to perform test automation and secure existing functionalities by performing non-regression tests.

Positive: - Ability to test different types of components such as web sites, spring batches, specific API's (REST/SOAP);
- User friendly interface;
- Ability to reuse steps; (library functionality)
- CI/CD integration;
- Open-source;

Negative: - Some UI improvements;
- In some cases, error messages could be more clear;

Summary: My overall experience with this tool is great and I would definitely recommend it.

Positive: Reuse of tests saved in the library
User friendly (even for people without a QA background)
Non-regression testing in a variety of browsers
Ease of detecting errors through screenshots
Tests mobile and web apps, as well as APIs

Negative: The documentation available could be simpler.

Summary: It's a great tool for automation tests. It has plenty of features, its open-source and can be integrated with other services.

Positive: - Everything is customizable (campaigns, tests, environment, browser)
- You can import tests and reuse them on another tests
- Take screenshots along with the test
- Integrate with Bitbucket pipelines, Slack and others
- It's Open-source

Negative: - It has a learning curve due to the number of possibilities available in the software.

Summary: Satisfied of using Cerberus, have been growing in usage on our different teams.

Use it on a daily basis for delivering with confidence our web, apps, APIs components with more than 10000 tests running,

Positive: Fast testing lifecycle.
Integrations for CI/CD, Kafka, Slack.
Enabling test APIs, web, apps, desktop.
Enabling white-box, black-box or grey testing.
High-level of automation.
Can run campaigns at desired times or integrated with development triggers.
APIs available.

Negative: Some UI improvements, fixed with the community.
Having to manage local setup, now SaaS available.

Summary: Cerberus is easy to learn with low code library and effective. We have automatic campaigns with pipelines at each new deployment.
This allows to identify and report bugs fast.

Positive: Cerberus is a test automation solution and easy to learn.
You can create test cross browser for mobile and web applications. There is API testing too.
You can create steps fast due to low code library. If needed you can add JS or groovy scripts.
Test campaign automatically can be easily trigger with api or by cron task included in Cerberus
The report is well designed and cleared. It allows easy bug tracking with Jira for example.

Negative: The API testing can be improved. Currently its basic API testing.
It can be improve with the JSON schema testing.

Summary: A complete open source solution that unifies both functional and technical teams to software quality concerns, with the benefits of multiple connectors and a reactive community.

Positive: An open source mature solution for many use cases on web, mobile or heavyweight applications with a unified interface that allows both functional and technical teams to work together on quality concerns.

Negative: A learning curve that could be a bit long, but with the support of an active community.

Summary: Good tool for test automation, great for non-regression testing, allows for fast feedback loops to the programmers.

Positive: - Ability to test different types of targets, namely web apps, mobile apps (Android and iOS), APIs (REST and SOAP), inclusive in the same test.
- No need for scripting.
- Ability to reuse test steps.
- Ability to access data sources to get data for the tests (makes for more reliable and stable tests)
- Auto screenshot on test fail.
- CI/CD integration.

Negative: - Setup could be simpler.
- Error messages could be friendlier.
