Featured Reviews

Prakhar Goel - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr Test Lead at Emerson
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

"For us, the automated test farm of 20 virtual machines for execution, 20 TestComplete licenses and 20 automated testers are doing the job of 100 manual testers."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"I changed because I did not have any solutions as close to the real thing as this."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps, as we can use it to integrate everything that we are running in the test automation tool, which is linked directly to the test cases."
"The most valuable feature of SmartBear TestComplete for me is the image comparison functionality; it quickly detects any changes in the UI."
"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"Selenium integration."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"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 test object repository needs to be improved."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."
"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
"The product is becoming more and more expensive."
"It comes with a high cost."
"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"Overall, for us, the cost of the TestComplete platform and the three extra modules is around $8,000."
"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
