We are facing sometimes the situation when we have some issues with our automated tests.
I like that it offers internal methods for supported controls. It is very easy to code the tests. Object Spy is also a good feature. The mapping is pretty complicated because there are a lot of controls that are the same and if you have a long name with the object mapping it is easy to get confused. TestComplete is perfect if you have an automation ID or something unique to each controller. Unfortunately our developers said that it's very hard to maintain all the names and automation IDs. Maybe in the future with this mapping part would be better.

Is easy to set up, reduces release cycle timing, and is stable and scalable
We utilize Tricentis Tosca to reduce our release cycle timing for our SAP releases. We have at least one release every quarter. We also use it for automation We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The features I find most valuable is the automatic remapping of aliases, because it is really helpful."
"I like that it offers internal methods for supported controls. It is very easy to code the tests. Object Spy is also a good feature."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
 

Cons

"The mapping is pretty complicated because there are a lot of controls that are the same and if you have a long name with the object mapping it is easy to get confused."
"It is very difficult to use the aliases on old software."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"The product is not very stable when used with cloud storage. It is very hard to load the screen, making it difficult to use the tool in cloud storage."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants. The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement. I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"The solution is expensive."
"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."
"In terms of the licensing costs for Tricentis Tosca, we are spending more or less $70,000 per year. We have a very complex mechanism because there are some business users and some BI users, so the licensing structure is not simple, but support is included."
"The price of Tricentis Tosca is approximately Є10,000 for one license. However, it used to be much cheaper, but they changed their license structure. It used to be a structure where if you bought a license you would receive one year of free support and maintenance. Now they only have a yearly license, and that is expensive."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
"Pricing could be better."
