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

"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."
"Due to serious testing needs across platforms and devices, we found CrossBrowserTesting a useful tool as it has the capability for functional testing, UI testing, automated testing just on few clicks."
"Record and Replay is the most used functionality for us, as we can record the test cases and play them on multiple combinations of platforms."
"I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues."
"SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those."
"I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable."
"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."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"It has allowed us to have a highly reusable Regression Test suite."
"Tosca can give us the UI plus the backend mainframe and API testing within one tool."
"Testsuite accomplishes what a lot of different tools did before."
"I'm using Tricentis Tosca as part of test automation, so it reduces the test execution time, and this has improved our organization."
"The amazing features provided by Tricentis takes automation to a different world and it's fun working with it."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"It has decreased the time for generating test data and risk-based opportunities which has helped us to cover key areas."
 

Cons

"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."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up, as I still sometimes experience lag, which no one loves."
"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."
"This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."
"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."
"We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve."
"Getting support from their support team is very difficult; the overall competence of the support has declined, and it's taking a lot of time to get solutions."
"I would say the reporting part of the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The solution is expensive."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"Licenses are expensive, but they are worth using."
"Because of expensive licenses, if your company is new to the market, do not start a business using Tosca if you expect slow growth - use cheaper solutions instead, and switch to Tosca once you are overwhelmed with projects and work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
"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."
"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"If you are purchasing less than five licenses, then the pricing is high. On a scale from one to ten, with one being low and ten being high pricing, I would rate this solution at eight."
"​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."
"There are two licenses: single user and multiple user. A multiple-user license means that several people can work together on one project and collaborate on code stored in a central location. A single-user license is for people working alone on a one particular application. It's much cheaper than a multi-user workspace. If you are getting a large volume of licenses for an enterprise, you can probably negotiate a discount, but I'm not sure about that."
"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."
