Kevin Copple

Sr. Quality Assurance Project Manager at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

Has supported faster test execution and increased flexibility while offering room to improve support responsiveness

Reducing the levels of support is something they could continue to improve. They tend to have an entry-level person that may not be as familiar with the product that fields the calls, which creates another day of delay to get to the level that's needed. This is a common practice across most companies where you call, you get the entry-level person, and then they work their way up to help screen calls so that they are more focused.

IT Team Leader -Automation Manager at Citco

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.

Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers

Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge."

"There's less manual testing time, so we are able to quickly resolve any IT issues."

"UFT has improved our ability to regression test."

"UFT One is 100 percent stable."

"My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years."

"It's simple to set up."

"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."

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

More OpenText Functional Testing pros

"Customer Service: Excellent – very quick and detailed responses. Technical Support: Excellent – very quick and detailed responses."

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

"By our calculations we are now getting a return of 50% time saved in team efforts, making the team 50% more productive."

"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."

"Ranorex is a very good product, especially for testing Windows Forms applications but also companies with web applications and mobile applications will be very pleased by the product as it has also perfect UI recognition for these platforms."

"It has reduced the cost of production and operations."

"The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance."

"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."

More Ranorex Studio pros

"The scriptless automation tool is one of the important features."

"We have, within the first six months, been able to automate 85% of our critical business processes and we have been able to maintain that while keeping our BCR ratio down, and we have also seen about 234 defects per month in production drop to less than 8."

"This product contains a lot of functionality; it can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting, and I like it because everything is available in one place."

"We switched to Tosca because it's a no-code solution, so people without coding skills can also use it, and if you have an in-depth understanding of the Tosca framework, you can easily automate any complex application."

"I face no challenges or stability issues."

"We have seen an ROI because we are able to automate test scripts much quicker."

"The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."

"From the commercial tool perspective, Tosca is a leader in every aspect."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"It often crashes."

"It's hard to install the license seat because the web-based GUI is not user friendly."

"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."

"It looks like User Acceptance Testing of the product is getting bypassed entirely because this design has precedence in UFT."

"The application can be buggy at times and takes up a lot of memory on your PC."

"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."

"The initial setup is complex."

"We have to download it, then install it on our own machines and the machines sometimes aren't stable; since we have PDIs, also the UFT isn't stable and I don't know yet where the connection is."

More OpenText Functional Testing cons

"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."

"They should have support for other OS’s, aside from only supporting Windows."

"More possibilities on mobile devices, as we have already encountered some problems with iFrames integrated in a web page."

"Any minor change to a repository can result in a version control system nightmare, making it more difficult when working in teams."

"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."

"I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code."

"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 automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."

More Ranorex Studio cons

"Licenses are expensive, but they are worth using."

"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."

"Dashboard for results still need to be improve in Tosca Test Suite"

"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."

"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."

"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."

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

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."

"The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."

"Compared to other tools in the market, UFT One is very competitive. The recent Covid pandemic situation also hit customer budgets significantly, so Micro Focus offered some discounted prices, which is definitely competitive."

"The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."

"OpenText UFT One is a very expensive solution."

"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."

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

More OpenText Functional Testing pricing and cost advice

"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."

"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."

"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."

"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."

"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"The price of the tool is a problem for a lot of Brazilian clients or Latino clients, as it is expensive. Where I work, if one is low price and ten is high price, I rate the tool's price as a ten out of ten."

"It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."

"I am satisfied with the cost."

"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."

"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."

"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."

"Tosca is expensive. I don't see small and medium customers going for it. It's always large enterprises that have a big pocket. It is very expensive as compared to the other tools that we have in the market. They should reduce the price by half, and if they do that, they would do better business. From the competition perspective, other solutions are at a pretty similar level. UiPath is also very expensive. One thing that I always wanted was a short-term consumption license. With Tricentis, the biggest challenge is that you have to go for a minimum of one year license, and they also try to sell you a three-year license. It would be good if people can get a three-month or four-month consumption license."

"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
