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

"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."

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

"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."

"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."

"The solution is stable."

"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."

More CucumberStudio pros

"We did a full-blown POC, it was super successful and we were able to automate a large number of our scripts and save a lot of time and also automate a lot of our testing."

"The reporting is really nice."

"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 product helps us to create very accurate test cases."

"Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases."

"It's been very helpful to have connectivity with mobile. The tool also identifies some of the actual changes from the recordings on the actual testing suite. That is something that I really like."

"Overall, I rate Tricentis Tosca as a ten out of ten."

"One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"The reporting aspect can be improved."

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

"I would like to see better customer support."

"More tutorials and examples."

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

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

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"The reporting needs to be improved."

More CucumberStudio cons

"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."

"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."

"Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it. After that, they tried a new approach with key-tracing, and that didn't work."

"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."

"The record and play is still a new feature and while SAP has been added to the latest version, it is still lacking usefulness for common repository setups."

"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint."

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

"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is expensive."

"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."

"In terms of the licensing costs for Tricentis Tosca, we are spending more or less $70,000 per year. We have a very complex mechanism because there are some business users and some BI users, so the licensing structure is not simple, but support is included."

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

"The licensing cost for Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It has multiple features, but to use all of its features, you have to pay for additional licenses."

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

"A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros."

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