Shyam_Prasad

AVP - Testing & QA at Laminaar Aviation

Offers unique object identification, ideal for UI layer regression automation but limited scalability

Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used. Secondly, we have a very limited resource pool that uses this tool in India. So, finding resources familiar with Eggplant in India is challenging due to lack of affiliation programs and so on.

Prakhar Goel

Sr Test Lead at Emerson

Used for integration automation, user-based automation, and web automation

The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts. The solution has introduced a new feature that helps us identify objects we cannot normally identify. It gives you a fair idea of objects, resolving the object recognition issue. The solution can be used to perform different tests on different machines.

PrabhuKrishnamoorthy

Senior Director at Ascendion

Has transformed testing by reducing scripting effort and enhancing productivity with advanced features

The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic. For example, if a button in an application changes, Tricentis Tosca should be smart enough to detect the change and still execute the script seamlessly. Improvements are needed to ensure it responds dynamically to changes in the application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does."

"It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class."

"We find the solution stable and scalable."

"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."

"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."

"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."

"The integration with various tools is important."

"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."

"Selenium integration."

"The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts."

"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."

More SmartBear TestComplete pros

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

"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."

"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."

"The low code is the best feature."

"Object Identification Wizard."

"We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would take us at least two months. By automating these tasks using Tosca, now it takes five to 10 days maximum. Tricentis Tosca is a codeless or scriptless automation tool."

"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."

"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs."

"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."

"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."

"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."

"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."

"Headless testing would be a big improvement."

"The solution’s customer support should be improved."

"There could be API interfaces with this tool."

"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."

"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."

More SmartBear TestComplete cons

"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."

"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."

"Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It should improve the testing of legacy systems and interfaces."

"I would say the reporting part of the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"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."

"In Tricentis Tosca, we need to capture the element each time. If they could implement an auto-heal feature, it would capture automatically by detecting it from the page."

"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."

"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Eggplant came out as the most competitive in terms of commercials (terms and conditions) which was positive. When we did the initial negotiations, Eggplant started at a price but they were open to negotiations and we did negotiate a discount. That was really important to us because it showed a level of commitment to us."

"The pricing is competitive in India."

"The solution's pricing is too high."

"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."

"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."

"The license price for a physical machine is cheap, and for virtual machine, it is very expensive."

"The price of SmartBear TestComplete could be less. The main challenge is when it comes to node-locked. They should use a subscription model, such as a monthly-based subscription or, a quarterly-based subscription. Their floating license is very expensive, and this high price should be reduced or provide, at a minimum, a subscription model."

"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."

"We have a TestComplete 12 license."

"The pricing is pretty reasonable."

More SmartBear TestComplete pricing and cost advice

"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."

"It is 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."

"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a ten. The licensing model is based on a yearly basis."

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

"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."

Reviews from Real Users

Sandhiya T S., Sr Solutions Engineer at Lexington Soft, relates, “The record and replay aspects of the solution are quite useful for people. With them, you don't have to write any scripts. Basically, you can record your actions and play them back later. The initial setup is also very easy.”
