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 most valuable feature is that it gives us real OS devices that are available to test, and we don't have to ensure that all of the devices are up to date."
"I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems."
"Aside from speeding up our processes, it also allowed us to tie in our automated test scenarios and integrate our reporting tools to make the entire process efficient and hassle free."
"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."
"It has increased the speed of our regression testing."
"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."
"CrossBrowserTesting improved my organization because it eliminates the need for a physical device with a tester to cover our used browsers."
"The screen shot portal is essential for an easy way to run tests across hundreds of browsers and retrieve screenshots which then indicate success or failure."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."
"It makes testing easy, specially when we need to test lengthy Oracle R12 End to End flows."
"Improves the software quality in production by finding more defects with automated test sets, before transporting developments to production."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."
"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."
"It would be useful if we can run the live-testing test cases on multiple platforms at the same time, instead of waiting for one session to finish."
"The speed to connect to mobile devices needs improvement, and sometimes the connection fails."
"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 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."
"I had some problems with the local connection, but there is someone that can help us always on customer support chat."
"The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation."
"Technical support used to be better. It is now a bit difficult to reach out compared to previous experiences."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
"Run time test execution status: They have improved on this a bit by introducing a progress bar. However, it can be further improved."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"The product's test case management functionality needs enhancement."
"The disadvantage is that it is very expensive."
"The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"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."
"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."
"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."
"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."
"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."
"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."
"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."
"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."
"The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."
"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
