Testing automation solution that is scriptless and is competitively priced compared to other solutions
The best feature of this solution is the fact that it offers scriptless automation. You don't need to know how to code or program to use it. Within four weeks, my team was up and running. This was the shortest possible ramp-up that we completed in my entire career The integrations for this…

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 best feature of this solution is the fact that it offers scriptless automation. You don't need to know how to code or program to use it."
"Qualitia is a complete test automation tool where you can configure multiple test cases at once."
"The Qualitia technical support group is the best part of Qualitia."
"TestComplete has strong reporting capabilities. The reports they generate are really good."
"The initial set-up was exceedingly simple."
"Data driven testing using Microsoft Excel Viewing properties of objects using Object Spy Organizing test runs using the Test Items page of the project editor"
"Valuable for us is the ability to identify objects by using Find methods."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"Regressions and Smoke was done manually in the past, which has been replaced by Automated Testing."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"My advice to others is: If you're looking for speed, configuration consistency, and accuracy of tests with fantastic results, go get TestComplete."
 

Cons

"Licensing and missing import/export functionality was a problem."
"The integrations for this solutions could be improved, specifically for Slack."
"When using team city to run offline packages, Press Keys do not work, thus giving errors."
"I would like to see improved language support, with Python being my first choice."
"Some of the objects/parent objects are dynamically created in the web page. During the test, TestComplete will have problem to identify these kind of objects."
"There is no support for mobile testing automation."
"The solution doesn't have a very flexible pricing model."
"Technical support can be improved by being more efficient in responding to questions."
"LoadComplete could be a little more user-friendly, but is still better than LoginVSI."
"Sometimes, TestComplete crashes when attempting to delete over 10 logs."
"It is very difficult to have multiple developers when using Name Mapping. You can’t merge all the files and this creates conflicts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is on a higher end but the competition was even more expensive. With this considered, it is a competitive solution."
"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
"We have a TestComplete 12 license."
"The product is becoming more and more expensive."
"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."
"The pricing is pretty reasonable."
"It is approximately $6,000 a year."
"Buy modules on demand. If you have a four-person team and they will each automate tests only 25% of the time, it's better to buy a floating licence and share the tool during the work day."
"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
