End-to-end regression automation has accelerated delivery and now secures complex test data

I think Tosca can be improved, particularly in AI capabilities because right now Tosca does not have any strong API capabilities. It has some AI features in the newer version, but many organizations have not adopted these due to version-specific problems, as some are still using older versions. From an AI point of view, they can enhance reliability since the world is moving towards AI, and every tool must be integrated. While Tosca has made attempts, I have not used them and they are not widely adopted, so they are stuck in the testing phase in my organization. I would also mention that while I am currently using Tosca Mobile, the loading part and connectivity issues need improvement. They should better integrate AI features that are already present but not widely used across many organizations. Reliability on the AI aspect needs enhancement for practical application. From the perspective of governance and security, I believe Tosca can develop its own LLM or leverage third-party LLMs while maintaining security and risk management regarding client data. Many companies prefer using Tosca due to data security, which is crucial. An in-house LLM could significantly enhance its debugging power and provide helpful solutions upon test case failure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."

"The power of Hiptest is its test cases and campaign management."

"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."

"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."

"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."

"Integration with automation frameworks, keywords, and tags allows for saving time writing test cases and implementing automation."

"Hiptest allowed us to clean up our test campaigns and standardize the way we write test cases and structure our BDD approach."

"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."

More CucumberStudio pros

"For a manual tester who wants to become an automation specialist with no programming skills, this is the right tool for the future."

"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."

"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."

"Overall, by next year, we will be looking at a total reduction in testing costs of about $14 million, across the span of three years."

"The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."

"It was very apparent that Tosca was an all-in-one solution because we could do database testing, UI, and API testing, while the other tools we evaluated each focused on only one area."

"Licenses are expensive, but they are worth using."

"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."

"More tutorials and examples."

"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."

"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."

"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."

"The reporting aspect can be improved."

More CucumberStudio cons

"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."

"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."

"Dashboard for results still need to be improve in Tosca Test Suite"

"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."

"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."

"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."

"Setup wasn't that straightforward; it was more complex. It all depends on the environment, because there were a lot of errors on our applications. Therefore, it wasn't an easy setup for us."

"So far, all our issues have had to do with our unfamiliarity with the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."

"Tosca is expensive. I don't see small and medium customers going for it. It's always large enterprises that have a big pocket. It is very expensive as compared to the other tools that we have in the market. They should reduce the price by half, and if they do that, they would do better business. From the competition perspective, other solutions are at a pretty similar level. UiPath is also very expensive. One thing that I always wanted was a short-term consumption license. With Tricentis, the biggest challenge is that you have to go for a minimum of one year license, and they also try to sell you a three-year license. It would be good if people can get a three-month or four-month consumption license."

"It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."

"It is expensive."

"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."

"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."

"I'm not sure if I'm at liberty to talk about the pricing, but it has some significant costs. For example, you have to pay a license and maintenance fee. Then the rest of the terms are negotiable. We have to consider what we need and what benefit we get from it."

"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."
