Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is quite stable with SAP. It's nice. I use it extensively.""This solution is very helpful to me. I use it to execute my use cases without a manual interface."

More OpenText Business Processing Testing Pros →

"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.""The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to.""To me, what stands out the most about Tricentis Tosca is that even if I'm not a technical tester, I could pick up on how to use it very quickly because of the mechanisms of the tool, for example, its scanning mechanism. I'm not so technical, but I'm able to maneuver through Tricentis Tosca and derive capability. It's a user-friendly tool. It's not very complex.""Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications.""The product enables codeless automation.""We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation.""You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues.""The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."

More Tricentis Tosca Pros →

"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice.""It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training.""AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows.""The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."

Cons
"There's only one thing that I think needs improvement. When I started off using this solution, I used the Google search engine to learn how to use the tool. I would also check with my colleagues who have a lot of knowledge about it. Selenium has fields of information available. If you click on that field there will be an explanation about how to use the tool. It will be very easier to understand it if Micro Focus included this feature. It is easy to find with the search button, but it would be a great help to the users who are new to this tool.""The solution shouldn't be so tightly integrated with the ALM tool that they have. It should have its own base rather than the repository."

More OpenText Business Processing Testing Cons →

"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides.""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.""The integration with mobile testing could be useful.""I would like a better user interface.""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.""They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports.""It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools.""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."

More Tricentis Tosca Cons →

"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface.""Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial.""Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot.""The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."

    Overview

    OpenText Business Processing Testing (BPT) test framework software will help you move from one-off manual testing and ad hoc functional automated testing to an architected approach with a library of reusable test components. BPT accelerates the move to component-based testing with an integrated test framework approach to creating a repository of reusable test modules that allow for changes to be made once, then propagated across your distributed agile teams to all affected tests.

    Tricentis Tosca is a continuous testing platform that uses the industry’s most innovative functional testing technologies.
