Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."The solution supports a lot of protocols."
"The initial setup and installation of the software were very easy and straightforward."
"The solution can handle a huge amount of workloads, it's quite scalable."
"It is an advanced tool with multiple options available for the performance system."
"I like LoadRunner's ability to use multiple protocols. That's one of the greatest features along with the ability to test service calls between the app and server."
"There are various languages that they allow those programs to be written in, whether you want to use Java or something else."
"The most valuable features of Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional are scripting and executing the tests."
"The most valuable feature depends on what we're doing at the time. In the past, the greatest feature was the ability to record and play back to produce a script. Another great feature is that we can monitor the system. They also support many protocols to perform load testing."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"The reporting is really nice."
"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."
"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."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"The low code is the best feature."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."
"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools."
"If they can make LoadRunner more comprehensive, it would really help."
"I would like them to lower the licensing cost and provide better support."
"The tool should consider releasing a SaaS version since it makes more sense nowadays."
"We are going to continue to use the product in the future, I recommend this product. However, those who are looking for only REST-based on the API, I would recommend some other tool because of the cost. There are others available on the market."
"The product is pretty heavy and should be more lightweight."
"The debugging capability should be improved."
"I guess scalability becomes a problem when you use things like TruClients."
"There's a reporting part of the cloud that could be improved a little bit."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"Primarily I'm dealing with customers looking for a cheap solution, and they are willing to try open-source automation solutions. So from this perspective, the price of Tosca is not as competitive."
"First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
