Featured Reviews

Prakhar Goel - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Ashu Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use tool that saves time and functions within a limited budget
The solution's reporting system should be clearer and easier to understand for a layperson. I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it. For a layperson, the solution should be easy to use. Price-wise, TestProject is an expensive product. The product's current price should be lowered to attract potential customers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"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."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"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."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
"Ability to carry out automatic testing without having coding knowledge."
 

Cons

"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"Headless testing would be a big improvement."
"Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription."
"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."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party."
"I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it."
"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
"TestProject needs better support for integration with other products to provide a better overall solution for test planning and test data management."
"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."
"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
"The solution's pricing is too high."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."
"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."
"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."
"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."
