It made it easy for the test team to monitor and measure test execution​.
The most valuable features for us are Performance on execution Usage, once most of tasks are drag and drop, so you just need to drag the features during script preparation Integration with other ALM tools My team integrated test scripts from HP Service Test into HP QC ALM test management tool.…

Implemented efficient enterprise-level test automation and identified areas for integration and support improvement
In the future, I would like to see improvements in Tricentis Tosca regarding the integration of test management tools, as the current process is very complex; for example, integrating with Jira Xray presents challenges, and there is not an easiest solution available right now. In terms of additional features I would like to see in the future, the self-healing process in Tricentis Tosca has to improve compared to other tools, as its current self-healing capacity is not that good. The self-healing process should automatically handle any changes in web applications; for instance, if properties change inside the application, the tool should automatically take care of it, unlike other tools such as Mabl and TestComplete that have better self-healing capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has helped a lot in reducing the time that would be put in for a particular module."
"Service Test is user friendly and requires QTP developers a relatively minimal learning curve to catch up with any changes in features that may get introduced by newer versions."
"The data validation used to take a lot of time, and now through Service Test it is done within minutes."
"Service Test provides different opportunities in SOA testing, which helps us to provide better SOA solutions to clients."
"My team integrated test scripts from HP Service Test into HP QC ALM test management tool, which made it easy for the test team to monitor and measure test execution."
"The most valuable feature is the graphical workflow."
"The solution has improved our time to release on production; everything is automated now, which makes everything move faster."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"Improves the software quality in production by finding more defects with automated test sets, before transporting developments to production."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."
"The product helps us to create very accurate test cases."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."
 

Cons

"Its pricing is a bit high when compared to other SOA testing tools."
"If the license server went down, all the HPST nodes would fail their automation tests, which would bring down the entire automated test infrastructure and people would think the current build was bad."
"Service Test technology is primarily meant to test applications without user interface therefore falling short of helping in the test of UI applications unlike QTP."
"They should come up with something like Fiddler to see the service status."
"When an entire script is ready in the tool and there is a modification of WSDL at the final point, you need to form the code from scratch and there will be a lot of objects in the tool that wouldn't work after the inclusion of the new WSDL, which requires significant manual effort to fix."
"With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants. The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement. I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release."
"Dashboard for results still need to be improve in Tosca Test Suite"
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"I would like a better user interface."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"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."
"The product needs to improve object identification. The identify with properties and anchor methods work perfectly, while the by-index and image methods may face challenges."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros."
"​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
"There are two licenses: single user and multiple user. A multiple-user license means that several people can work together on one project and collaborate on code stored in a central location. A single-user license is for people working alone on a one particular application. It's much cheaper than a multi-user workspace. If you are getting a large volume of licenses for an enterprise, you can probably negotiate a discount, but I'm not sure about that."
"The pricing and licensing of Tricentis Tosca were alright. Many customers look for end-to-end enterprise solutions, there were not many challenges with the pricing. However, the customers who are coming from Selenium or similar, feel they're paying a premium for this Tricentis Tosca license. If the right person is there for the implementation of the Tricentis Tosca, then it is one of the best tools in the market."
"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."
"The tool is quite expensive."
"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."
"It is expensive."
