IT Team Leader -Automation Manager at Citco
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.

End-to-end regression automation has accelerated delivery and now secures complex test data
I think Tosca can be improved, particularly in AI capabilities because right now Tosca does not have any strong API capabilities. It has some AI features in the newer version, but many organizations have not adopted these due to version-specific problems, as some are still using older versions. From an AI point of view, they can enhance reliability since the world is moving towards AI, and every tool must be integrated. While Tosca has made attempts, I have not used them and they are not widely adopted, so they are stuck in the testing phase in my organization. I would also mention that while I am currently using Tosca Mobile, the loading part and connectivity issues need improvement. They should better integrate AI features that are already present but not widely used across many organizations. Reliability on the AI aspect needs enhancement for practical application. From the perspective of governance and security, I believe Tosca can develop its own LLM or leverage third-party LLMs while maintaining security and risk management regarding client data. Many companies prefer using Tosca due to data security, which is crucial. An in-house LLM could significantly enhance its debugging power and provide helpful solutions upon test case failure.

Quotes from Members

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

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."
"Ranorex is a very good product, especially for testing Windows Forms applications but also companies with web applications and mobile applications will be very pleased by the product as it has also perfect UI recognition for these platforms."
"By our calculations we are now getting a return of 50% time saved in team efforts, making the team 50% more productive."
"Easy to use - without any dev skills you can automate some nice things C# or VB.NET is used for development, and you can find a lot of information online Fast email support and a forum with several experienced users and Ranorex employees on it Online webinars to help you get started We can combine Ranorex with Jenkins and JIRA."
"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."
"We went with Ranorex due to its relative ease of use, and its support for automating desktop/WPF applications out of the box."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool. You don't need to do script testing. When you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures these test case steps. The next time you can replay the tool the flow automatically happens again. For example, when you do the logging and all the activity will be captured by the tool, and re-execute the same step by using automatization."
"Based on my experience, this would be my tool of choice for test automation."
"Tests written once can be reused across different projects."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"Our organization is completely based on automation of the activities."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"The product helps us to create very accurate test cases."
"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."
"No real issues, but I had to force close Ranorex Studio a couple of times, as it was stuck with the 'Not Responding' message for a long time on Windows 7."
"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."
"The stability is in the range of eighty-five percent of what I was expecting. We still have some issues."
"I think it still needs to improve a lot."
"They need to improve their support of different web browsers along with Flash support."
"When Ranorex is upgraded, the compatibility with other projects, in version control, in-house or on-premise, fails on occasion. However, overall, the stability is good."
"Need support for other operating systems like Mac and Linux, and not just Windows."
"The product is not very stable when used with cloud storage. It is very hard to load the screen, making it difficult to use the tool in cloud storage."
"I would also mention that while I am currently using Tosca Mobile, the loading part and connectivity issues need improvement."
"Upgrading from one version to another requires maintenance and rework in existing scripts. This is too much for my taste."
"In Tricentis Tosca, we need to capture the element each time. If they could implement an auto-heal feature, it would capture automatically by detecting it from the page."
"The disadvantage is that it is very expensive."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"The only thing I am not happy about is not so much the product, but it's that we don’t a good way to control licenses."
"Browser compatibility (probably solved in the newest versions). Version 8 of Tosca had weak compatibility with automation via browsers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"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)."
"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."
"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
"​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."
"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."
"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very 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."
"I am satisfied with the cost."
