We performed a comparison between Galen Framework, SmartBear TestComplete, and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."What I like most about Galen Framework are its advantages, particularly its spec language and the spec file feature."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"The product has many features."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"Selenium integration."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"Tosca BI is important to make sure that our data integrity is in check and validated; to make sure our data is good. Our data is the number-one important driver for our company, so if that's not good, we have some big problems."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The reporting is really nice."
"There don't seem to be functions available for automatically generating Galen values based on the specifications in the spec file, and this could be a potential improvement for Galen Framework."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"At times, identifying or locating an element can be somewhat challenging. However, in a recent test update, they introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. This introduction has reduced the challenges to some extent, as we can now utilize OCR if the normal method doesn't work. Nevertheless, there is still significant potential for improvement in TestComplete's ability to identify various object elements. I don't have any specific concerns to mention. I have observed significant improvements in TestComplete over the past few years, especially in its support for highly dynamic object elements used in products like Salesforce Dynamics 365. In earlier versions, there were numerous challenges, but the current version is far superior to its predecessors."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"The integration tools could be better."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options. For example, if a grid is used and it contains multiple controls within it, it can be a checkbox, radio button, or any kind of control, the way the Object Spy is operating currently there is a lot of room for improvement."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen."
"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."
