We performed a comparison between SmartBear TestComplete and Tricentis Tosca based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Tricentis Tosca is the preferred solution of many PeerSpot users. This completely scriptless automation tool. Tricentis is focused on continuously improving their tools and can provide a solution for almost any challenge. SmartBear currently only supports Windows and is lacking in some necessary API interfaces.
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"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."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"Selenium integration."
"It's been very helpful to have connectivity with mobile. The tool also identifies some of the actual changes from the recordings on the actual testing suite. That is something that I really like."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"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."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"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."
"First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
