The tool needs to improve in the areas of security, though it is a versatile product

Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability. I spoke with Inflectra's executive account rep on the need to expand the tool's ability. The problem with Inflectra Rapise is that a lot of companies are still using SAP GUI. Inflectra has no intention of building Rapise in a way that allows it to interact with SAP GUI. Inflectra Rapise has very limited value for the companies I work with because they they still use SAP GUI since their top priority is SAP testing, and they want to get into automation, for which they need a tool that cannot only used to automate processes, but can also do end-to-end testing where you are not only using SAP GUI, but you are using the interface with old legacy systems that are still in use or with today's more modern technologies. In the future, the tool needs to increase its versatility. If I am at a company that uses 23 different technologies, like .NET Visual Basic, Oracle, SQL, or whatever, Inflectra Rapise needs to be made as a product that is an out-of-the-box usable tool for any technology.

Recording limitations and remote access challenges have affected desktop application testing

Katalon Studio has proven effective in our deliverables, particularly in designing the framework where other tools typically require coding in client libraries such as Python or Java. With Katalon Studio, there is no such complexity, allowing us to organize projects modularly based on folder structures without needing to write separate code. The self-healing feature for web application automation and its built-in CI/CD ecosystem integration eliminates the need for external tools for pipeline setup. Katalon Studio excels in CI/CD integration, providing an inbuilt ecosystem without the need for external setup, and it features a postings structure along with keyword and library availability. Newcomers to the team can easily adapt to the setup or project structure, which contributes to its popularity, along with its low-code or no-code capability that allows for a comprehensive platform supporting web, mobile, API, and desktop automation. The self-healing mechanism for test cases autonomously identifies issues with locators and ensures they continue functioning, which is impressive, along with the robust object repository. Katalon Studio has significantly aided our team, especially when clients expect deliveries for CI/CD integration that requires automation test scripts to run on a daily schedule. The self-healing feature automatically identifies available locators for elements in the DOM, ensuring that test cases remain functional. Katalon Studio has positively impacted our organization by facilitating faster delivery when clients have urgent requirements. We can deliver quickly based on urgency due to the features Katalon Studio provides. This has led to significant reductions in time spent on framework configuration, designing, and training individuals who are unfamiliar with the tool, helping us save both time and costs.

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

"The initial setup was straightforward; it wasn't complex at all, and we found it nice and easy."

"We saved thousands of dollars because the Rapise implementation gave us 30 or more executions for every release compared to three or four, so huge savings on manual testing effort plus easy detection of defects is very cost effective."

"It's incredible but the support and maintenance of Inflectra Rapise's scripts is less than 30% of the effort that was involved in maintaining Selenium, it is very easy and this is the reason that we are switching everything that needs handling from Selenium to Inflectra Rapise, as it is easy to maintain and provides a benefit in cost and efforts with a 90% reduction factor in the maintenance of the scripts."

"The first time I used Rapise I completed the automation scripts for a full application in a day and I was shocked how easy it was."

"Rapise is a good automation tool that's easy to use and learn, and you can share scripts as a team, which is very helpful."

"The scripting of this tool is easy and user friendly."

"It's pretty straightforward to set up."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its versatility."

More Inflectra Rapise pros

"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."

"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."

"Katalon Studio is useful because it helped us to generate reports to see which test cases passed versus which ones failed."

"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."

"I did a small POC and during that time I found the product to be very easy to use; I'd describe it as extremely user-friendly, with a lot of information readily available on the internet that makes it easy to learn about the product itself."

"For a free solution, it's very good."

"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."

"The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."

More Katalon Studio pros

"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."

"I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten as I am satisfied with it."

"Licenses are expensive, but they are worth using."

"The XScan was great because it was a handy way to automate on a surface which made it very easy and simple."

"Tricentis Tosca is a fast-pace, ever-evolving test automation tool that can solve today's testing requirements and provide fast feedback."

"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."

"Tricentis Tosca can be easily integrated with SAP infrastructure."

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

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"I faced one problem where it can't validate the colour of images and text. Also, it could not automate the mobile app, and this needs to be included."

"Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability."

"It has some stability issues where the tool crashes sometimes on Windows 10."

"The maintenance is very difficult."

"It would be good if there could be more integration of Inflectra Rapise, since not all customers use the same tool for test management and automation integration."

"The maintenance is very difficult. We've only been using the platform for three months, so I'm not sure if that will continue, but right now it's an observation I've had."

"When there are failures in a nightly run of batches of scripts, it can create a blocking situation where all the following scripts will fail due to unexpected results."

More Inflectra Rapise cons

"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."

"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."

"It should be faster while executing, and there are some defects, like choosing the new device with the test case."

"The price of Katalon Studio is an area of concern where improvement is required."

"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."

"While Katalon Studio helps speed up the initial automation, test maintenance becomes a real challenge as applications evolve, especially when UI changes are frequent."

"It should start working on Silverlight automation as well."

"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."

More Katalon Studio cons

"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."

"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved as well because it's very expensive."

"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."

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

"Licensing needs to be packaged and not too granular at the component level."

"Exploratory testing engine needs improved element recognition (at lease in JAVA Swing)"

"The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."

"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."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where ten means very good pricing."

"We pay no more than $50 annually for support of each one of the licenses."

"This product is freeware, so there is no charge for using it."

"The tool is free to use."

"We are using the free version of Katalon Studio at this point."

"Katalon Studio is less expensive than other solutions, such as Micro Focus UFT."

"We are using the free version. We plan on getting a paid version because there is a limitation in terms of the number of users. We want to maximize it."

"The approximate cost is around $8,000."

"I am using the free version."

"Katalon Studio is a free tool."

More Katalon Studio pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."

"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."

"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."

"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."

"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."

"The tool is expensive. It has become overpriced, especially after Tricentis Tosca grew as a company. Initially, we bought a license with an annual support fee, which wasn't too expensive. However, they changed the model, and now we have to purchase a license yearly, which has become quite costly."

"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."

"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
