Sahi Pro Evaluation
Released by Tyto Software
Installation
of Sahi Pro was easy. I did find it a bit strange that it did not automatically
install in the Program Files folder. The program is kicked off by a .bat file
which launches the Sahi dashboard.
After
choosing the browser that will be used, a front Sahi Pro page displays instructed
me how to bring up the Controller.
Although the controller is laid out fairly well, I did
find it a bit “clunky”. I also had some
issues running a script that had both a function that had been created through
the GUI and another that was created from scratch.
Web
testing, including cross browser
I was able to
test in IE, Firefox, and Chrome.
Desktop
testing
Sahi Pro does
not test desktop applications.
Scripting
The language
is based on JavaScript.
Documentation
and training; (somewhat) short learning curve
The Sahi Pro
website contains many pages of training materials.
Maintenance,
longevity, reliability and support
Unknown.
Error
recovery
I was able to
see the logs of the tests run and upon clicking on a log.
After
clicking on a test name in the Suite Name column, I was brought to a page where
I could see where the script had failed (if applicable). I can then double
click on the error, highlighted in red below, and will be taken to the place in
the script where the test had failed.
Reporting
Sahi Pro stores its reports in a H2 database by default. Custom reporting is possible, but it may be necessary to store it into a central MySQL or another database. There is a MySQL .jar that can be utilized to create and customize reports. Also, this process requires a manual update, MySQL does not do this automatically.
Cost
$495/user/year
Customizations
(future proofness)
Sahi Pro does
not have this capability.
Established
in market
Sahi Pro is
not widely used .
Integration
with Rally
Sahi Pro does
not have this capability.
Distributed
Testing
Sahi Pro can
be distributed and run tests on multiple machines as long as the Sahi Pro
application is installed on each machine.
Ability to
run unit tests outside of environment
Sahi Pro does
not have this capability.
Conclusion: We have decided that Sahi Pro is not a strong contender in our search of automated test tools and has been withdrawn from the choices.
