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

"The most valuable features are its support for multiple technologies, ease of coding, object repository, and ability to design our own framework. The recording playback feature allows those unfamiliar with coding to use the tool."

"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."

"UFT provides object identification, which is one of the easiest to use."

"I like the fact that you can record and play the record of your step scripts, and UFT One creates the steps for you in the code base. After that, you can alter the code, and it's more of a natural language code."

"The inside object repository is nice. We can use that and learn it through the ALM connection. That's a good feature. The reporting and smart identification features are also excellent."

"Automation of tests is done very fast with UFT One."

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

"It's simple to set up."

More OpenText Functional Testing pros

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

"Object identification is good."

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

"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

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

"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."

"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."

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

More Ranorex Studio pros

"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."

"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."

"I am impressed with the product's script test."

"We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros."

"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."

"The low code is the best feature."

"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."

"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."

"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."

"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."

"Additionally, there are hanging issues where it becomes unresponsive, which can be improved."

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

"We frequently encountered stability issues when the browser dependency caused Windows to consume memory without releasing it, leading to crashes during regression testing."

"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."

"We'd like it to have less scripting."

More OpenText Functional Testing cons

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

"I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis."

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

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

"When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too."

"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."

"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."

"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."

More Ranorex Studio cons

"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."

"The technical support services are generally good, though there are areas for improvement regarding response time and overall competence."

"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint."

"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."

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

"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."

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

"I would like to see something in terms of AI capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It's an expensive solution."

"Compared to other products, the solution is very expensive."

"The price is one aspect that could be improved."

"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."

"The pricing of the product is an issue."

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

"The tool's price is high."

More OpenText Functional Testing pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"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)."

"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"It is expensive."

"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a ten. The licensing model is based on a yearly basis."

"Pricing could be better."

"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."
