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.

Senior Engineer at Cignity Technology

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.

Pros

"Has good automation and load-testing capabilities."

"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."

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

"The solution is scalable."

"We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing."

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

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

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

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

"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."

"I have faced issues with some indexing items."

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

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."

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

"The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."

"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."

"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."

"Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it. After that, they tried a new approach with key-tracing, and that didn't work."

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

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

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

"The price of Tricentis Tosca is approximately Є10,000 for one license. However, it used to be much cheaper, but they changed their license structure. It used to be a structure where if you bought a license you would receive one year of free support and maintenance. Now they only have a yearly license, and that is expensive."

"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."

"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."

"It is expensive."

"They are probably more expensive than other comparable tools, but you also get the full suite of testing tools."

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."

"The tool is expensive. It has become overpriced, especially after Tricentis Tosca grew as a company. Initially, we bought a license with an annual support fee, which wasn't too expensive. However, they changed the model, and now we have to purchase a license yearly, which has become quite costly."
