Lead Systems Tester at Government of Ontario, Canada

Reliable test automation, and test data creation with efficient support

The solution can be improved by removing the need for object matching in the framework. The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run. The reason is that changes were made to how it works with the browser and the startup takes some time. Adjusting those changes to speed up the load time will improve the solution.

Easy to set up with good documentation and easy management of testing cycles

The solution allows for a complete test cycle. The management of testing cycles are easy. We have good control over test cases. We can capture functional testing very easily. We're actually able to accelerate testing now and have end-to-end cycles for testing. We didn't used to have these capabilities. It's easy to automate and accelerate testing. The product offers very good cross-browser testing capabilities. We can do continuous testing and regression testing.

Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers

Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps in automation by using better object recognition as compared to other tools in the market."

"The technical support is good; at least their response time is good, and whenever we ask them for help regarding deployment customizations, custom code implementation, or other code needs, they heavily support us, assign us IT engineers who work alongside us helping with code-related issues, and stay until the problem is resolved."

"By automating regression test suites using this product, we were able to show time savings of more than 1200 hours in less than ONE year."

"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester, which analyzes the changes in UI elements and allows me to automatically adapt and change my automation testing."

"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."

"Robust API provides quick turnaround for developers to understand and automate functional test case quickly."

"It is 100% compatible with all sorts of database integrations and is compatible with all types of open source TFT-based applications, which makes it a great product to have."

"It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."

More IBM DevOps Test UI pros

"The statistics that are available are very good, the solution offers very good detailed reports, and it's excellent for testing an application's performance levels."

"Using this DLL functionality we were able to automate our product."

"The feature I like most is the ease of reporting."

"It's easy to automate and accelerate testing."

"It is a fine product; it is a powerful tool, and it needs commitment."

"The solution is user-friendly with respect to automation."

"It speeds up testing efforts."

"The ability to develop scripts in Visual Studio, Visual Studio integration, is the most valuable feature."

More OpenText Silk Test pros

"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."

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

"One feature we like is the live connectivity of the product, in other words, you can push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data."

"Overall, everything is reusable simply via drag and drop, and you will always have a single point of maintenance (e.g. in a future release of your SUT a button was added, you just need adapt the module. Linked test cases and execution lists are updated automatically)."

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

"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."

"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."

"The advantage of using Tricentis Tosca is that we can get started with automation without much investment on solution development, with it following a keyword-driven approach."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."

"The object repository used for identifying objects can be made better. It has been noticed that the RFT tool is unable to identify some objects, due to which we are unable to add them to the object repository."

"If you look at today's current context, I wouldn't recommend RFT because there are far more advanced solutions and products available."

"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."

"It does not fully justify being a paid tool, and it needs improvement."

"If in the future there is no support for mobile applications, then we will be using it less."

"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."

"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."

More IBM DevOps Test UI cons

"We moved to Ranorex because the solution did not easily scale, and we could not find good and short term third-party help. We needed to have a bigger pool of third-party contractors that we could draw on for specific implementations. Silk didn't have that, and we found what we needed for Ranorex here in the Houston area. It would be good if there is more community support. I don't know if Silk runs a user conference once a year and how they set up partners. We need to be able to talk to somebody more than just on the phone. It really comes right down to that. The generated automated script was highly dependent upon screen position and other keys that were not as robust as we wanted. We found the automated script generated by Ranorex and the other key information about a specific data point to be more robust. It handled the transition better when we moved from computer to computer and from one size of the application to the other size. When we restarted Silk, we typically had to recalibrate screen elements within the script. Ranorex also has some of these same issues, but when we restart, it typically is faster, which is important."

"They should extend some of the functions that are a bit clunky and improve the integration."

"SilkTest has to improve on Firefox and Chrome as their versions change."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The solution has a lack of compatibility with newer technologies."

"At the moment, when we are trying to use this tool, we are finding quite a few compatibility issues between the tool and the applications on the test. We wouldn't consider it perfectly stable for that reason."

"The support for automation with iOS applications can be better."

"Everything is very manual. It's up to us to find out exactly what the issues are."

More OpenText Silk Test cons

"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."

"Not all functions are logical without certain know-how."

"The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."

"Run time test execution status: They have improved on this a bit by introducing a progress bar. However, it can be further improved."

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

"The solution is expensive."

"Product quality has declined as it grows, and its updates aren't without fault. The process of resolving problems has slowed, and as it expands into other areas like NeoLoad and other testing tools, the product becomes more complicated. It used to be a small firm with a clear goal, but as it grows, the quality has been affected."

"Getting support from their support team is very difficult; the overall competence of the support has declined, and it's taking a lot of time to get solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is good but the prices for the products are expensive. A single-user license may go for something like $10,000 to $30,000. There are no additional costs, and support is included within that price."

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and while I think that the price is quite reasonable I am not allowed to share those details."

"We paid annually. There is a purchase cost, and then there is an ongoing maintenance fee."

"Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."

"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."

"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."

"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."

"Pricing could be better."

"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."

"Tricentis Tosca is not expensive at all."

"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."
