We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the ability to capture the entire traffic of particular pages and the proper readability of entire pages and entire APIs."
"The reports and analysis tools are very good. They are the solution's most valuable features."
"The new version of the solution is stable."
"We use Apache JMeter for load testing, where we provide the throughput time."
"It is an open-source tool that is easy to use. It can be easily integrated with multiple tools, including Selenium."
"The solution has good transition controllers and distributed testing."
"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"The solution helps by detecting bottlenecks."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful."
"The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the Salesforce scanning. There are two scanning for Salesforce applications. There is Salesforce scanning and normal application scanning. Object identification has been really useful in Tricentis Tosca."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"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 most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"Automation is difficult in JMeter."
"In future releases, it would be helpful if there was an integration with ALM Octane."
"Self-healing and page rendering for the end-users are not available in Apache JMeter."
"The solution needs more metrics for reporting."
"There is some work to be done with the integration."
"Its reporting could be improved. There should be a better visual representation. That would be helpful for easy consumption of the reports."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"It should start supporting the presentation layer. It currently provides performance testing specifically at the application and API level. It can be extended to the presentation layer, which includes mainly Angular and React frameworks. It should also be easy to use and easy to train people."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"Setup wasn't that straightforward; it was more complex. It all depends on the environment, because there were a lot of errors on our applications. Therefore, it wasn't an easy setup for us."
"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
