Shared change lists are helpful, but poor scalability leads to problems with instability
The biggest problems with this solution have to do with scale. If the load is high then your request is put on hold for a second, and then you have to handle it. If you make a lot of requests then it is your problem. It would be very helpful if a queue was implemented to handle, for example, 100 requests at the same time. Any additional request would be put on hold and made to wait for a few seconds. Once the network and infrastructure are loaded to handle the next request, it would proceed.

Used for integration automation, user-based automation, and web automation
The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts. The solution has introduced a new feature that helps us identify objects we cannot normally identify. It gives you a fair idea of objects, resolving the object recognition issue. The solution can be used to perform different tests on different machines.

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 option to pull changes from others or make local changes in your own change list."
"With TestComplete, I can discover bugs faster and easier than testing manually."
"After TestComplete, we have been able to reduce that time to less than one week."
"Using TestComplete, the application tests are executed at night unmanned, so that test engineers can focus on developing new tests instead of executing existing tests."
"I used different solution afterwards and I can say there is no other product with such great flexibility."
"TestComplete is much more flexible, light, and easy to use."
"The integration with various tools is important."
"The solution has saved a lot of human resources by running full regression tests prior to each release, and over the years many major bugs have been detected by the tool, saving us the big expense of fixing problems after a release."
"It's a great tool that covers many features and is straightforward with logs."
 

Cons

"Generally, we can say that we have not had an excellent experience with Perforce."
"It would be very helpful if a queue was implemented to handle, for example, 100 requests at the same time."
"More APIs could be added."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"I would like to see improved language support, with Python being my first choice."
"The test object repository needs to be improved."
"When it comes to customization controls the scalability of SmartBear TestComplete is limited."
"We did not maximize our ROI until we put somebody full-time on our TestComplete endeavours. The tool does have a learning curve, and it wasn't until we had an in-house expert on it that we began to see the benefits of automated testing over traditional QA roles."
"The solution needs Mac OS support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is approximately $6,000 a year."
"The solution's pricing is too high."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
"The product is becoming more and more expensive."
"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."
"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
"My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."
