The self-healing process should automatically handle any changes in web applications; for instance, if properties change inside the application, the tool should automatically take care of it, unlike other tools such as Mabl and TestComplete that have better self-healing capabilities.
Technical Architect at MOURI Tech
The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work.

Moving to a cloud-based application rather than a desktop one could improve Tosca.

Featured Reviews

AnantJoshi - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Director Intelligent Automation at Truglobal
Performance testing has delivered diverse global retail loads and generates clear diagnostic reports
I did not notice any weak points or downsides in Tricentis NeoLoad except for the cost. Everything else is good with the tool. When I consider that service customers have to pay the cost for the load generation, I find that the cost increases, especially when I want to generate a load for a global customer with different loads in different regions.
Jayachandrap In - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Architect at MOURI Tech
Implemented efficient enterprise-level test automation and identified areas for integration and support improvement
In the future, I would like to see improvements in Tricentis Tosca regarding the integration of test management tools, as the current process is very complex; for example, integrating with Jira Xray presents challenges, and there is not an easiest solution available right now. In terms of additional features I would like to see in the future, the self-healing process in Tricentis Tosca has to improve compared to other tools, as its current self-healing capacity is not that good. The self-healing process should automatically handle any changes in web applications; for instance, if properties change inside the application, the tool should automatically take care of it, unlike other tools such as Mabl and TestComplete that have better self-healing capabilities.
