Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal."
"Tosca BI is important to make sure that our data integrity is in check and validated; to make sure our data is good. Our data is the number-one important driver for our company, so if that's not good, we have some big problems."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"We are satisfied with technical support. Communicating with them is very simple. We also have a lot of online resources to check and to study and to train our team with. The documentation is very clear and readily available."
"The tool has highly detailed debugging features."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and availability."
"The solution is very stable."
"It is a good and user-friendly tool."
"The whole suite is made for .NET development."
"Visual Studio Test Professional's most valuable feature is the rich IDE for doing code and test development."
"The solution is very useful for compiling existing projects and developing new projects."
"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."
"The integration tools could be better."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"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."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"Setup wasn't that straightforward; it was more complex. It all depends on the environment, because there were a lot of errors on our applications. Therefore, it wasn't an easy setup for us."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"It can be quite expensive."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."
"The product must provide more integration."
"The solution should be cheaper."
"The documentation is limited."
"The tool crashes and has high memory consumption."
"The data flow can be improved."
"The performance could be faster."
"The interface should be made attractive."
"Over the years, I haven't identified any specific enhancements that I desire; Visual Studio has consistently met my requirements seamlessly and flawlessly."
