"Whenever I speak to the support team of Katalon Studio, I learn that some new features will be included in the product. It is a scalable product."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"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."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."
"As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would take us at least two months. By automating these tasks using Tosca, now it takes five to 10 days maximum. Tricentis Tosca is a codeless or scriptless automation tool."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Visual Studio Test Professional is its ease of use."
"The user interface is very friendly."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of Visual Studio Test Professional are the IntelliSense and the ease of adding the NuGet packages."
"Visual Studio is an exemplary integrated development environment that stands out due to its exceptional features. It allows for the seamless selection of the appropriate programming language for the specific development tasks at hand. This facilitates a swift and effortless transition between languages, providing a highly efficient development experience."
"Visual Studio is the easiest to use."
"Visual Studio Test Pro is super helpful for my Microsoft app work."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"Katalon Studio should improve its usability, it still needs some improvement where users can easily use it to build their automation suite. It requires some initial work to set it up. There should be more keywords in the library to limit the coding requirements, this will allow a non-technical person easily start using it, which would be better."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"Currently, I'm the only one who can use it because I have a Mac. It is giving a hard time to my team members who are on Linux. My team members are using Linux, and Katalon doesn't support Linux very well. It keeps on crashing. It crashes and shuts down almost every time they save their work, so they are not able to use it. It should have good support for Linux. We don't know what the problem is. If the Katalon team can pick up this issue, it will be very helpful."
"The product is comparatively slow."
"Katalon Studio could improve having visual testing, but I think they're launching that feature very soon. We would like to see an increase in the usage of AI."
"The price of Katalon Studio is an area of concern where improvement is required."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"Might have a learning curve, as it does not follow the traditional Record-Play functionality, but tests have to be built from requirements or Agile story cards."
"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."
"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."
"Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area."
"Visual Studio Test Professional could improve by having better integration with external databases."
"Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its stability."
"The interface should be made attractive."
"The data flow can be improved."
"The documents on the Microsoft website are not very useful, and they ought to make it easier to find answers."
"The server that we use is very slow so that is concerning for us."
"In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line."
"It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve."
