Testing solution supports Java testing with good reliability

There is nothing you can do for almost every application. If you do it for a single version, it is rather easy. However, if you want to run it for different versions of the software, then you need the Qt version of Java. You need to set up some special environment variables to be able to do that.

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.

Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers

Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Stable automation suites; it is cheaper than most of other vendor automation tools, it supports a wide range of tool-kits, even embedded solutions, one tool for all your products."

"Squish data-driven testing is very powerful and we can easily check for bulk and huge data without any issues."

"Squish's data-driven testing is very powerful, so it will never be stuck if the size of data is too heavy."

"Powerful and intuitive Integrated Development Environment (IDE) - I use this IDE daily for creating new tests, debugging tests and running tests."

"If you are looking for simple, not expensive, with nice support and for Qt-application tool – I think, it’s the best one."

"The most important part is that it allows me to create black box tests faster and easier."

"Our previous, haphazard approach to testing was not effective, and using Squish has led us into an organized mode of testing."

"This product can work with QT applications and cross-cut from them, both on Windows OS and on Mac, as well as on mobile operating systems like iOS and Android too."

More Qt Squish pros

"Cross browser testing and the ability to perform mobile test automation mean you do not need to buy two different solutions for mobile and web channels separately."

"It's easy to use the test suite and add test cases to do our product bug fixes, and software pre-release regression tests, and continuous Integration testing with Jenkins CI tool for each software build test."

"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

"Not only is Ranorex's solution one of the most powerful and easy to use, it has one of the lowest cost entry points resulting in a quicker ROI."

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

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

"Ranorex Spy is the most valuable feature for us, as it provides functionalities for analysis of host or web applications, as well as information for test automation."

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

More Ranorex Studio pros

"Scriptless SW QA automation provides a very quick on ramp to test automation with little maintenance."

"Tricentis Tosca has completely met our requirements."

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

"For a manual tester who wants to become an automation specialist with no programming skills, this is the right tool for the future."

"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."

"It's stable and reliable."

"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."

"We like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs. Due to this, the solution has a broad range of applications."

Cons

"We have faced some difficulties in identifying canvas objects initially."

"You need to set up some special environment variables."

"Support isn't always helpful. I sometimes need to find solutions myself."

"As things stand, continuous integration is very poor, and when you work in production you need many more settings in order to tune it, to be a Web user interface, for example, which is currently impossible."

"I like it how it is, but it's not cheap."

"Robotics automation could be added with Squish."

"There had been a lot of improvements with froglogic Squish already. There were some scenarios in which this particular solution was available in different flavors. They have pulled everything together in one solution. There were some monitoring systems, which were missing out from the solution earlier. They have a centralized dashboard for monitoring the test cases and their execution. It's a full-blown solution, there are not many glitches in terms of something missing out of the package."

"The most complete way of testing is on several OS's, even platforms. Here, the solution provided by Squish, through several Python script files, could be simplified in such a way, so that even black box testers could manage it easily."

More Qt Squish cons

"The stability is in the range of eighty-five percent of what I was expecting. We still have some issues."

"For a very long time, we were running into crashes with either Ranorex or Ranorex's utility (UIALauncher) which would stop our testing dead in its tracks."

"More possibilities on mobile devices, as we have already encountered some problems with iFrames integrated in a web page."

"If there are many queries on the web page, Ranorex will not render the page correctly. I had about 1,000 queries on the page, and the solution was not able to handle it."

"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."

"It needs a better connection to TFS."

"While the product does well with its primary job of testing, when we are using Ranorex it would be nice if it would report directly in HTML."

"I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code."

More Ranorex Studio cons

"It may be different for other companies, but for us, establishing a set of procedures to get people trained was important."

"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."

"If you need to improve one of the Tosca engines, you have to develop it in the same language, such as C# and Java, so you need more technical experts to help you."

"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."

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

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

"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."

"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise, so having free services along with the licenses would be good."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."

"The price could be better. I believe each developer license costs about 6000 or 7000 Euros per year."

"The platform is highly-priced."

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

"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."

"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."

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

"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)."

"I'm not sure if I'm at liberty to talk about the pricing, but it has some significant costs. For example, you have to pay a license and maintenance fee. Then the rest of the terms are negotiable. We have to consider what we need and what benefit we get from it."

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

"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."

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

"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."

"Pricing could be better."

"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."

"If you are purchasing less than five licenses, then the pricing is high. On a scale from one to ten, with one being low and ten being high pricing, I would rate this solution at eight."
