Prakhar Goel

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

"The solution has a very nice interface."

"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."

"TestComplete has strong reporting capabilities. The reports they generate are really good."

"This company offers end-to-end capabilities for test suite creation and execution. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the tagging system. Tags are highly valuable, as they allow you to assign tags to your test cases. When there's an impact in a specific area, you can search for and run all test cases associated with that tag. I find this functionality very useful."

"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."

"TestComplete fits almost perfectly with a large amount of stacks, such as Delphi, C#, Java and web applications."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."

"The integration with various tools is important."

More SmartBear TestComplete pros

"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."

Cons

"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."

"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."

"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."

"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."

"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."

"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."

"Right now, the product only supports Windows."

"In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options. For example, if a grid is used and it contains multiple controls within it, it can be a checkbox, radio button, or any kind of control, the way the Object Spy is operating currently there is a lot of room for improvement."

More SmartBear TestComplete cons

"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is approximately $6,000 a year."

"The solution's licensing cost has increased because it has moved to some new SLM-based licenses."

"The product is becoming more and more expensive."

"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."

"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."

"The pricing is pretty reasonable."

"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."

"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."

Reviews from Real Users

Sandhiya T S., Sr Solutions Engineer at Lexington Soft, relates, “The record and replay aspects of the solution are quite useful for people. With them, you don't have to write any scripts. Basically, you can record your actions and play them back later. The initial setup is also very easy.”

Sai S R., Staff Test Architect at a tech services company, says, "The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#. It's very easy to put them all under one project and use them."
