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

"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
"Selenium integration."
"SmartBear TestComplete performs some self-healing and has a feature called OCR (optical character recognition)."
"The product has many features."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"Ability to carry out automatic testing without having coding knowledge."
"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject."
 

Cons

"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"In scenarios where two of our engineers work on the same task, merging codes is a bit difficult."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"The integration tools could be better."
"The recording function, when using Python, could be improved, as it does not work well in recording testing."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"The learning curve of the solution's user interface is a little high for new users."
"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."
"I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it."
"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."
"We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution's licensing cost has increased because it has moved to some new SLM-based licenses."
"The license price for a physical machine is cheap, and for virtual machine, it is very expensive."
"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."
"The solution's pricing is too high."
"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"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."
