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

"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"Ability to carry out automatic testing without having coding knowledge."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject."
"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"The recording function, when using Python, could be improved, as it does not work well in recording testing."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"The licensing costs are a little bit high and should be reduced."
"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 and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it."
"We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party."
"TestProject needs better support for integration with other products to provide a better overall solution for test planning and test data management."
"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."
"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is too high."
"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."
"The product is becoming more and more expensive."
"The license price for a physical machine is cheap, and for virtual machine, it is very expensive."
"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 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."
"It comes with a high cost."
"Price-wise, TestProject is an expensive product...With TestProject, there is a need to pay a certain amount towards its licensing costs."
"The solution is free."
