Senior Software Engineer at EPAM Systems
Sometimes there is slowness in the network, especially when working with AWS-based hosting.
Vice President of Quality at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
For performance and stability, Tricentis Tosca deserves a 10 out of 10.

Room For Improvement

BrowserStack users face challenges with connectivity, pricing, and integration, requesting better support, features, and automation capabilities.
Tricentis Tosca struggles with upgrades, high costs, mobile testing difficulties, and requires improvements in AI, UI, and reporting.
BrowserStack is very expensive and they keep increasing their cost, which is absolutely ridiculous, especially when someone like LambdaTest is coming through for literal thousands of dollars less, with the same services.
Test Software Development Engineer at uShip, Inc.
Going forward, one way BrowserStack could improve is by incorporating AI concepts to create tests automatically from provided URLs or user intentions, generating scripts without needing users to write automation scripts.
Managing Technical Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I think false positives are an area where BrowserStack can improve, as I have often seen things working fine on actual devices, but on BrowserStack devices, issues arise due to network slowness or AWS region connectivity problems that cause lag.
Vice President of Quality at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
The self-healing process should automatically handle any changes in web applications; for instance, if properties change inside the application, the tool should automatically take care of it, unlike other tools such as Mabl and TestComplete that have better self-healing capabilities.
Technical Architect at MOURI Tech
Moving to a cloud-based application rather than a desktop one could improve Tosca.
Sr Test Automation Architect at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work.
Test Automation Specialist at Accenture

A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros.

Chief Executive Officer & Founder at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees

Managing Technical Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Cross-platform testing has accelerated releases and now needs smarter AI-driven test creation
The best features that BrowserStack offers include the ability to run manual and automated tests on real devices. We can create bugs, integrate it with other platforms like Jira or Azure, and use self-healing scripts with Selenium. We also have the test runs for different versions or with different frameworks, not just Selenium but with Playwright as well. Additionally, there are real-time dashboards and notifications sent when tests fail or when we need screenshots or recordings of test executions, and we can easily integrate this into our pipelines. BrowserStack has positively impacted my organization by providing an out-of-the-box solution for whole test executions across different projects for our automobile customers. We have worked on around twenty to thirty projects, and the need for a stable, customizable single test execution platform that supports different platforms has been met. It has helped manage the entire quality assurance of the product efficiently. The measurable improvements due to BrowserStack include a significant efficiency gain, allowing the whole team to collaborate on testing and communicate faster. Also, the easier integration with project management tools has been beneficial. The documentation of findings has improved, which helps us share insights with different project stakeholders.

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.
