Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems.""The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules.""When compared to other tools, it is very simple.""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.""Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution.""Selenium integration.""The solution is mainly stable.""It works very fine. It is fast on almost any machine, and it is also very well organized. I like its object mapping and its capability to find and interact with almost everything that exists on Windows."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The script-less part of it was good for novice users.""The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject.""The automation and AI are very good.""Ability to carry out automatic testing without having coding knowledge.""Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."

Cons
"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).""The artificial intelligence needs to be improved.""If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better.""The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS.""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.""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 →

"TestProject needs better support for integration with other products to provide a better overall solution for test planning and test data management.""I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it.""In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available.""We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party.""The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool.""Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The product is becoming more and more expensive."
  • "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."
  • "The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
  • "The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
  • "The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."

  • "The solution is free."
  • "Price-wise, TestProject is an expensive product...With TestProject, there is a need to pay a certain amount towards its licensing costs."

    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."
