User-friendly regression testing that is fast and offers good support
We have not yet explored this area in our testing. We plan to be ready for this phase next year. We are only doing a one or two-minute recording, next year it will be done for a year. Currently, I am the only user in our organization who is working with Basis Testimony. Once we have tested out the entire tool and we are satisfied, we plan to roll-out to the business for 10 to 20 users.

The main issue with Tricentis Tosca is its cost, which is very high. Although using Tosca can reduce the number of testers needed compared to open-source tools like Selenium, companies might still need to focus on resources. I would recommend Tricentis reduce the cost of its licenses. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten as I am satisfied with it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It takes less time to complete the regression testing."
"The scriptless automation tool is one of the important features."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The solution can be deployed in DevOps and ERP environments like Oracle Fusion. It accelerates testing with the libraries. The product incorporates libraries and is more sensitive to the scans."
"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."
"One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal."
"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."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
 

Cons

"The GUI and design could be improved."
"Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I am satisfied with the cost."
"It is expensive."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
"Tosca is expensive. I don't see small and medium customers going for it. It's always large enterprises that have a big pocket. It is very expensive as compared to the other tools that we have in the market. They should reduce the price by half, and if they do that, they would do better business. From the competition perspective, other solutions are at a pretty similar level. UiPath is also very expensive. One thing that I always wanted was a short-term consumption license. With Tricentis, the biggest challenge is that you have to go for a minimum of one year license, and they also try to sell you a three-year license. It would be good if people can get a three-month or four-month consumption license."
"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."
"A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros."
