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

"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."

"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool. It covers all necessary items in the test plan. The most painful item in testing is maintenance. When changes occur, the tests should be maintained."

"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."

"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."

"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."

"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."

"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."

"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."

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

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

"The solution’s customer support should be improved."

"At times, identifying or locating an element can be somewhat challenging. However, in a recent test update, they introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. This introduction has reduced the challenges to some extent, as we can now utilize OCR if the normal method doesn't work. Nevertheless, there is still significant potential for improvement in TestComplete's ability to identify various object elements. I don't have any specific concerns to mention. I have observed significant improvements in TestComplete over the past few years, especially in its support for highly dynamic object elements used in products like Salesforce Dynamics 365. In earlier versions, there were numerous challenges, but the current version is far superior to its predecessors."

"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."

"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."

"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."

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

"The recording function, when using Python, could be improved, as it does not work well in recording testing."

More SmartBear TestComplete cons

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."

"My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."

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

"TestComplete now have come up with three modules (Web, Desktop & Mobile), so based on the type of product for automation, it is adequate to purchase the required module."

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

"The pricing is pretty reasonable."

"It comes with a high cost."

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."
