Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 18, 2024

Tricentis Tosca and Oracle Application Testing Suite (OATS) compete in the software testing automation category. Based on feature richness and flexibility, Tricentis Tosca appears more versatile, while OATS excels in integration with Oracle products.

Features: Tricentis Tosca offers scriptless automation suitable for non-technical users, a modular structure for easy test case maintenance, and robust integration with a variety of technologies and BI tools. Oracle Application Testing Suite integrates seamlessly with Oracle products, supports Oracle ERP testing, and offers OpenScript for recording and playback as well as performance testing through Oracle Load Testing.

Room for Improvement: Tricentis Tosca faces challenges with upgrades affecting add-ins and has limitations in object recognition in some web applications. Users also note a lack of strong versioning capabilities and complex test case functionalities. Oracle Application Testing Suite users report long recording flows and suggest better browser and desktop application integration, along with enhanced reporting features.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Tricentis Tosca provides hybrid, on-premises, and public cloud deployment options, yet customer support response time and availability could be improved. Oracle Application Testing Suite primarily offers on-premises and hybrid cloud deployments, with generally better customer service and faster response times, according to user feedback.

Pricing and ROI: Tricentis Tosca's higher price point and multiple licensing options deliver significant value but may be costly for smaller enterprises. Oracle Application Testing Suite is more cost-effective for Oracle users, with competitive pricing. Both products show strong ROI in reducing manual testing, but OATS is preferable for budget-conscious users.

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy

Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

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 feature is the object identification feature."

"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

"Has good automation and load-testing capabilities."

"The solution is scalable."

"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"

"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."

"It's been very helpful to have connectivity with mobile. The tool also identifies some of the actual changes from the recordings on the actual testing suite. That is something that I really like."

"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."

"It is easy to automate tasks, highly flexible, straightforward to learn, and easy to maintain."

"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."

"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."

"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."

Cons

"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."

"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."

"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

"I have faced issues with some indexing items."

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."

"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."

"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."

"The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work. The exploratory testing feature is not working for version 2023.1, which we are currently using."

"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."

"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."

"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."

"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."

"I am satisfied with the cost."

"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."

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

"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 expensive. There is also the training cost, but it does speed up the process. So, you get a return on investment."

"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."

"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."
