We performed a comparison between IBM Rational Functional Tester, SmartBear TestComplete, and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."
"Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time."
"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"This company offers end-to-end capabilities for test suite creation and execution. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the tagging system. Tags are highly valuable, as they allow you to assign tags to your test cases. When there's an impact in a specific area, you can search for and run all test cases associated with that tag. I find this functionality very useful."
"You can record your actions and play them back later."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"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."
"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 most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the Salesforce scanning. There are two scanning for Salesforce applications. There is Salesforce scanning and normal application scanning. Object identification has been really useful in Tricentis Tosca."
"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 scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"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."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"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."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"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."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve. The reporting section could be better and some of the new features could be simplified. Additionally, the user management of the client and the server are confusing. There should not be two."
"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."
