HZ
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.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time."
"It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."
"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"You can push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."
"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
 

Cons

"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"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."
"Technical support used to be better. It is now a bit difficult to reach out compared to previous experiences."
"The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work. The exploratory testing feature is not working for version 2023.1, which we are currently using."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."
 

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."
"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"It is expensive. There is also the training cost, but it does speed up the process. So, you get a return on investment."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."
"​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."
"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."
