Senior engineer at Nagarro

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

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

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

"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."

"The solution is stable."

"Using HipTest makes the testing process easy and its support for Behavior Driven Development helps align all the team members, whether technical or non-technical."

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

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

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

More CucumberStudio pros

"From our clients perspective (e.g. large banks, government organisations etc.), it has allowed them to decrease their total execution effort, improve their time to market, and increase their total risk coverage."

"We have, within the first six months, been able to automate 85% of our critical business processes and we have been able to maintain that while keeping our BCR ratio down, and we have also seen about 234 defects per month in production drop to less than 8."

"The scriptless automation tool is one of the important features."

"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."

"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable - even when releases in the tested software are subjected to deep code changes."

"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 was the only way to organize and support automation testing process for our re-insurance tool for underwriters."

"The use of automation is most valuable."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

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

"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."

"I would like to see better customer support."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

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

"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."

"The reporting aspect can be improved."

"Copy-pasting something directly from JIRA requires too much modification and formatting."

More CucumberStudio cons

"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 only thing I am not happy about is not so much the product, but it's that we don’t a good way to control licenses."

"In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows."

"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."

"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades."

"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."

"The solution is expensive."

"Might have a learning curve, as it does not follow the traditional Record-Play functionality, but tests have to be built from requirements or Agile story cards."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."

"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."

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."

"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."

"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."

"Pricing could be better."

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