Room For Improvement

Eggplant Test struggles with usability, integration, setup issues, and outdated features, requiring improvements in performance, support, and accessibility.
SmartBear TestComplete faces challenges in object recognition, integrations, licensing, performance, and support across browsers and mobile devices.
Tricentis Tosca struggles with upgrades, high costs, mobile testing difficulties, and requires improvements in AI, UI, and reporting.
The two-system architecture that we currently follow could be better replaced with a one-system architecture.
While using SmartBear TestComplete, we are fine with the current capabilities, however, it would be beneficial to improve some performance aspects, especially the image comparison feature.
Moving to a cloud-based application rather than a desktop one could improve Tosca.
If a button in an application changes, Tricentis Tosca should be smart enough to detect the change and still execute the script seamlessly.
The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work.
 

Setup Cost

Eggplant Test is costly yet ideal for large enterprises, with execution-only licenses offering better cost-effectiveness than competitors.
SmartBear TestComplete's pricing and licensing receive mixed reviews, seen as both reasonable and costly depending on usage and modules.
Tricentis Tosca's pricing is high, appealing to large enterprises with flexible licensing, though costly for smaller companies.
The pricing for Tricentis Tosca is extremely high, and I rate it as ten in terms of expense.
A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros.
For enterprise customers, the cost is manageable because it provides solutions for multiple applications they want to automate.

Featured Reviews

Tayyaba  Noreen - PeerSpot reviewer
Empowers effective test automation with comprehensive platform coverage and scalability
There was no free trial in it. So, I studied it through a page that tells how it works. It will be good if a free trial is provided for users. Moreover, I would like to give some feedback on the installation process. There are other tools that are much easier to install and get started with. Eggplant could improve its installation process.
Prakhar Goel - PeerSpot reviewer
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 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
