Senior Director at Ascendion

Room For Improvement

Panaya Test Dynamix requires better customization, clearer error messages, improved performance, enhanced integration, easier navigation, and more comprehensive training resources.
Tricentis Tosca struggles with upgrades, high costs, mobile testing difficulties, and requires improvements in AI, UI, and reporting.
The self-healing process should automatically handle any changes in web applications; for instance, if properties change inside the application, the tool should automatically take care of it, unlike other tools such as Mabl and TestComplete that have better self-healing capabilities.
Technical Architect at MOURI Tech
The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work.
Test Automation Specialist at Accenture
Moving to a cloud-based application rather than a desktop one could improve Tosca.

Panaya Test Dynamix offers competitive, scalable, and cost-effective pricing with customizable packages to meet diverse organizational testing needs.
Tricentis Tosca's pricing is high, appealing to large enterprises with flexible licensing, though costly for smaller companies.
The pricing for Tricentis Tosca is extremely high, and I rate it as ten in terms of expense.
Senior Director at Ascendion
A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros.

For enterprise customers, the cost is manageable because it provides solutions for multiple applications they want to automate.

Tricentis Tosca offers model-based automation, scriptless testing, drag-and-drop functionality, and AI optimization, enhancing ease of use and integration.
It allows for drag-and-drop functionality and demo automation in SAP-based applications, which can be challenging with other automation tools.
Sr Test Automation Architect at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
The features I find most valuable in Tricentis Tosca are that it's the easiest way to build the scripts and to do the CI/CD process; using Tricentis Tosca is very useful and easy.
Technical Architect at MOURI Tech
The modular approach reduces scripting effort by at least fifty percent, which significantly cuts down on the script development time.

More than reliable, with satisfied results for our needs, and excellent testing options
For the moment we are looking to automated testing, and there today apparently it is not working well with the application we want to test. So we are using an application on a terminal server and some quirks make it challenging to make automatic testing. It would be nice to be able to test offline. What I mean by that is today most of the time things are in the cloud, but sometimes when we are in factories we do not have network access and we should be able to download a test script into our PCs and do the test offline. Once that is complete we can re-upload it when we again have a network connection.

Has useful scanning, basic web application automation, and data validation capabilities
The main issue with Tricentis Tosca is its cost, which is very high. Although using Tosca can reduce the number of testers needed compared to open-source tools like Selenium, companies might still need to focus on resources. I would recommend Tricentis reduce the cost of its licenses. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten as I am satisfied with it.
