Automation becomes feasible with diverse application support and faster development

I have used UFT for web application automation, desktop application automation, and Oracle ERP automation UFT provides object identification, which is one of the easiest to use. It requires less coding, has built-in features for API testing, and most importantly, it supports more than just web…

Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet

There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

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

"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."

"The initial setup is relatively easy."

"The best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."

"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."

"For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process."

"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."

"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."

"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."

More OpenText Functional Testing pros

"The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."

"The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market."

"Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations."

"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."

"The solution is stable."

"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."

More Ranorex Studio pros

"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."

"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."

"Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people."

"The platform's most valuable feature is model-based testing, which is effective for test case design and optimization."

"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."

"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."

"The product enables codeless automation."

"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."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"Jumping to functions is supported from any Action/BPT Component code, but not from inside a function library where the target function exists in another library file. Workaround: Select search entire project for the function."

"Customer service is a big drawback. From my personal experience, after creating a ticket, it takes three to five days for them to acknowledge it and then send it to somebody."

"[Tech support is] not a 10 because what happens with some of our issues is that we might not get a patch quickly and we have to hold on to an application until we get a proper solution."

"The solution needs better marketing, training, promotion, and visibility because it is not visible."

"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."

"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."

"The solution is expensive."

"There could be improvements in report export features similar to SmartBear."

More OpenText Functional Testing cons

"One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian."

"For our purposes it requires integration with other products to get out the results in the format we want them. Adding this to the product could improve it."

"We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier."

"Part of the challenge is that Ranorex's support is over in Europe, so we can't get responses on the same day. If we had support in the United States that was a bit more timely, that would be helpful."

"The solution's technical support team could be responsive."

"Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work."

"Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls)."

"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."

More Ranorex Studio cons

"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."

"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."

"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."

"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."

"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."

"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."

"Technical support used to be better. It is now a bit difficult to reach out compared to previous experiences."

"They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."

"The pricing of the product is an issue."

"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."

"The licensing cost is high. There are no additional costs to the standard license."
