Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers
Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"At the moment, all our deploys depend on results of automation."
"This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices."
"The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."
"CBT has made it easier to troubleshoot issues across devices when we do not have actual access to those specific devices."
"When developing new pages that have questionable functionality or coding, we will often use CBT to test it in a browser. CBT works with our testing environment and development site."
"CrossBrowserTesting improved my organization because it eliminates the need for a physical device with a tester to cover our used browsers."
"It was the perfect solution that saved us time and money to perform web viewing tests on real devices, which allowed our team to correct multiple failures in devices."
"CBT has made it easier to troubleshoot issues across devices when we do not have actual access to those specific devices. I even opt for CBT sometimes when we do have access to the device just because it is easier."
"The solution has improved our time to release on production; everything is automated now, which makes everything move faster."
"Tosca lets you jot down your requirements, design test cases, automate and analyse your test results within one GUI."
"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools."
"It offers many features, such as risk-based testing and scenario creation using Kafka."
"Scriptless SW QA automation provides a very quick on ramp to test automation with little maintenance."
"It is easy to automate tasks, highly flexible, straightforward to learn, and easy to maintain."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
 

Cons

"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."
"The screenshot tool defaults to a screen layout instead of a full page test. I find it a bit cumbersome that I can't have it run a full screenshot as my default."
"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"I had some problems with the local connection, but there is someone that can help us always on customer support chat."
"Sometimes the testing is slow."
"Automated testing could be improved."
"We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve."
"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"They should have a different license policy for medium and small companies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"The lowest price point is very reasonable. It is also useful if only one person in the company needs to check on the browser display."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"They are probably more expensive than other comparable tools, but you also get the full suite of testing tools."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."
"The licensing cost for Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It has multiple features, but to use all of its features, you have to pay for additional licenses."
"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."
"I am satisfied with the cost."
"​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
