We performed a comparison between TFS and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."TFS's best features include user-friendly test management, bug reporting, and ID assignment."
"We use TFS for forecast management."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is its compatibility with Microsoft Windows systems. We have predominantly Microsoft solutions and TFS work well."
"TFS’s test management capability without the expensive licensing has large gaps. Users will be unable to access performance testing and coded UI testing capabilities."
"The interface is easy to navigate."
"Microsoft's technical team is supportive."
"The biggest value-add is the solution integrates well with most Microsoft products."
"The most valuable feature from my point of view is project management, which includes user stories as well as task management."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"This tool is very easy to use and I think that anyone can come in, having no experience with it, and within four to six months be comfortable with it."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"The Model-Based Test Automation is the most valuable feature, where you can create reusable components. Even though we are using a scriptless automation tool, there still needs to be an understanding of how to create reusable components and how to keep refactoring and how to keep regression, the test scripts, at an okay level. We are coupling Tosca with some other risk-based testing tools, as well, but automation is primarily what we're using Tosca for, the scriptless, model-based technology which is driving automation for us."
"The project management side should be addressed and the project and release planning should be somewhat extended."
"The interface can be improved and made more user-friendly."
"Currently, we are looking for a solution with which we can incorporate third-party development sites or third-party project teams into the system. Because it is on-premise, it is a bit problematic because we need to have a VPN or something else in the system. A cloud-based solution would be better for us, and that's what we are looking for. Our biggest problem is the external connection, which, of course, is limited by our own IT. It would be good to have some kind of publishing service for this external connection. It might be there, and it might be that our IT is making it impossible for us. Its template editor could be easier to use. Currently, customizing the project templates according to your needs requires some work."
"We are also using Microsoft Teams. The two products function separately. There is not enough collaboration between Microsoft Teams and TFS."
"Since the TFS was an on-prem solution, the private network accessibility was restricted."
"Sometimes we feel that it need more CPU, and RAMs on TFS server, either we implemented the hardware with the product minimum requirements."
"TFS needs to be stable."
"As an end-user, I expect the solution's performance to be faster while staying as stable as possible."
"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"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."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack."
