Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."Ability to vary the responses very easily (randomize, pick-lists, etc.)."
"Scalability has actually worked well and we are able to bring it to multiple environments."
"We have had developers produce code later than we wanted to, but we've had some other stuff that was dependent on that. So what we were able to do was virtualize these assets and then go forward with our developer and not have to wait for these additional services to be available."
"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"The ability to do parallel development and testing reduces our costs for duplicating environments, improving the productivity of our developers, and bringing products faster to market."
"The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"It is easy to use, has a faster time to market, and provides flexibility."
"We had a number of back-end services that were not available during testing times. What this had allowed us to do is get our early life testing done while those services are not available."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"It's stable and reliable."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"DevTest is pretty massive. It's hard to tell what different parts of it can be used to do different things. They should modulize it more."
"It is not a stable solution."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"The cost is an area that needs improvement. There are a couple of other tools which provide support for performance testing with the base version itself, but Broadcom needs a separate component to support virtualization for performance testing. This is a costly component."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"I would rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration."
"The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."
"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 solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"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."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it. After that, they tried a new approach with key-tracing, and that didn't work."
