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."
"It has increased the speed of our regression testing."
"I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable."
"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."
"We would not be able to provide our services without their tools."
"The features that I find most useful and the ones that I use the most are local site testing, device and browser testing, and screenshots."
"Each new session started with the live testing feature allows for a cleared browser and new experience to be able to not only see these attributes on the page clearly but also pass clean data."
"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."
"Testsuite accomplishes what a lot of different tools did before."
"Our organization is completely based on automation of the activities."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"Overall, this is a good product and I definitely recommend it."
"Tosca is a low-code no-code automation tool, allowing direct automation and reusability of test cases."
"The advantage of using Tricentis Tosca is that we can get started with automation without much investment on solution development, with it following a keyword-driven approach."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the extremely fast setup, as you can really get up and running within a very small window of time, and we like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs, giving the solution a broad range of applications."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
 

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."
"Being able to test on real devices via the virtual connection is wonderful, but it can cause some lag and load time issues while testing."
"Sometimes the testing is slow."
"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."
"The speed to connect to mobile devices needs improvement, and sometimes the connection fails."
"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"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."
"Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It should improve the testing of legacy systems and interfaces."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"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."
"A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
"Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."
"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 and licensing of Tricentis Tosca were alright. Many customers look for end-to-end enterprise solutions, there were not many challenges with the pricing. However, the customers who are coming from Selenium or similar, feel they're paying a premium for this Tricentis Tosca license. If the right person is there for the implementation of the Tricentis Tosca, then it is one of the best tools in the market."
"The price of Tricentis Tosca is approximately Є10,000 for one license. However, it used to be much cheaper, but they changed their license structure. It used to be a structure where if you bought a license you would receive one year of free support and maintenance. Now they only have a yearly license, and that is expensive."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."
"There is an annual cost for Tricentis."
"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
