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.

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

"We always use the product for end-to-end automation test cases."

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

"It's pretty straightforward to set up."

"It has been good so far for API testing on Mac. It is not that hard to learn and use. There is so much support out there, so if anyone wants to start using it, there is enough help."

"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."

"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."

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

"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."

"Katalon Studio is user-friendly."

"Smart Wait and XPath healing are valuable features."

"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."

More Katalon Studio pros

"The reporting is really nice."

"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."

"The scriptless automation tool is one of the important features."

"I face no challenges or stability issues."

"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."

"This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily."

"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."

"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability."

"I would like Katalon Studio to develop manual test case generation using AI capabilities, as other tools like those using OpenAI are already doing this."

"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."

"Its stability needs improvement."

"The pricing could be improved. Offering a discount on Katalon Studio licenses could encourage more users."

"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."

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

"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."

"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."

More Katalon Studio cons

"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."

"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."

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

"In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows."

"I would say the reporting part of the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."

"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."

"The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic."

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."

"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."

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

"Katalon Studio is a free tool."

"Price-wise, Katalon Studio is a costly product. Considering what the solution provides its users with, I can say that price-wise, Katalon Studio is an okay product."

"The tool's pricing is cheap compared to other alternatives. I would rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."

"The pricing is good. It is the market average."

"The cost of Katalon Studio is expensive but it is less than some of the other solutions, such as Micro Focus UFT or SmartBear TestComplete. The cost is the main reason we are using Katalon Studio."

"The solution is more affordable than other vendors."

More Katalon Studio pricing and cost advice

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."

"If you are purchasing less than five licenses, then the pricing is high. On a scale from one to ten, with one being low and ten being high pricing, I would rate this solution at eight."

"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."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."

"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."

"The licensing cost for Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It has multiple features, but to use all of its features, you have to pay for additional licenses."
