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

"The ability to choose from many devices is the best feature."
"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 ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues."
"It helps to speed up the process to test the product in different devices and browsers, making it easy to troubleshoot some issues."
"The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."
"We no longer need to have a full QA team, testing is more quickly and reliably reproduced, and scheduled daily tests assist in catching any bugs which fall through the cracks and make it to the production environment."
"This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices."
"We would not be able to provide our services without their tools."
"This solution allows you to create an entire automated framework where it allows you to easily manage everything in one place."
"I would recommend this solution to others."
"Before implementing Tosca, the average time that we took for completing regression was about four days, and after we started using Tosca, it has been reduced to six hours."
"The reporting is really nice."
"Tosca can go through platforms to make end-to-end testing across CRM, billing, provisioning, order management flow, and databases to check for errors."
"For a manual tester who wants to become an automation specialist with no programming skills, this is the right tool for the future."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
 

Cons

"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."
"A wider range of physical devices with more browser versions in the Selenium Grid would be great to insure users with out-of-date devices are able to interact with our sites."
"A wider range of physical devices with more browser versions in the Selenium Grid would be great to insure users with out-of-date devices are able to interact with our sites."
"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."
"There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting."
"Automated testing could be improved."
"We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve."
"Sometimes the testing is slow."
"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved as well because it's very expensive."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades."
"In Tricentis Tosca, we need to capture the element each time. If they could implement an auto-heal feature, it would capture automatically by detecting it from the page."
"At the time I was using the product, the reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"The technical support services are generally good, though there are areas for improvement regarding response time and overall competence."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"The product, at times, does not recognize objects, especially in web applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"Pricing could be better."
"It is expensive. There is also the training cost, but it does speed up the process. So, you get a return on investment."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"We hired a consultant to figure out all the tools in our company and how they fit in our company before we purchased the solution."
"A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros."
"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
"Tricentis Tosca is not expensive at all."
"The price of the tool is a problem for a lot of Brazilian clients or Latino clients, as it is expensive. Where I work, if one is low price and ten is high price, I rate the tool's price as a ten out of ten."
