Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."The most valuable feature is the ability to create performance test cases quickly and then execute them. It provides a lot of powerful features to do that very efficiently and effectively."
"My favorite feature in LoadRunner Professional is its ability to group scripts under separate IDs."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The capabilities and flexibility of the Controller, the ability to monitor the systems under test, and the comprehensive results Analysis which saves a great deal of time."
"The solution helps my clients save time. It is easier to capture reports and improves product quality. The product helps to identify customer defects during performance tests and reduces workloads. The product has improved my client's user interaction. It has reduced peak load times."
"Enables us to test most of the products and projects that we have across all the different technologies, without having to look at other tools."
"It provides clients with an understanding of application and system performance."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"The Model-Based Test Automation is the most valuable feature, where you can create reusable components. Even though we are using a scriptless automation tool, there still needs to be an understanding of how to create reusable components and how to keep refactoring and how to keep regression, the test scripts, at an okay level. We are coupling Tosca with some other risk-based testing tools, as well, but automation is primarily what we're using Tosca for, the scriptless, model-based technology which is driving automation for us."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"It's stable and reliable."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"Lacks specific level monitoring."
"You should be able to use LoadRunner as a single platform. You should be able to have browser based access. You should be able to run enterprise tests."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"The price of this solution should be cheaper."
"I recently just got to see LoadRunner Developer, but it is still not fully developed to use."
"The product is pretty heavy and should be more lightweight."
"LoadRunner Professional's parameter data could be improved."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high-quality technical support, I rate the support a one."
"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."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
