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

"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."
"We were able to run tests on daily promotions of software so all software was tested every night, making any bugs instantly visible the next morning."
"The integration with various tools is important."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"Test automation with TestComplete significantly (estimated 80%) reduced the regression timeline for a complex AUT with a large number of test cases."
"It helped to automate all the possible functional test cases which I previously used to do by manual testing."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"The solution doesn't have a very flexible pricing model."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."
"Sometimes the app crashes during test execution based on the amount of code that is running."
"A test case design (schema) module would be nice."
"LoadComplete could be a little more user-friendly, but is still better than LoginVSI."
"Product ungracefully crashes or hangs sometimes."
"Often crashes with large projects. File check-in takes too much time in TFS."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
"The pricing is pretty reasonable."
"We have a TestComplete 12 license."
"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."
"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"The product is becoming more and more expensive."
"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
"The price of SmartBear TestComplete could be less. The main challenge is when it comes to node-locked. They should use a subscription model, such as a monthly-based subscription or, a quarterly-based subscription. Their floating license is very expensive, and this high price should be reduced or provide, at a minimum, a subscription model."
