Featured Reviews

Senior Director at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

User stories and test artifacts migrate seamlessly to innovative management tools

Customers are moving towards Tricentis due to their association with SAP. There is interest in understanding if there are connectors for converting UFT scripts to Tosca, as many customers are looking to make this transition. We have developed capabilities for automated migration from ALM to Tricentis qTest without any loss of data. However, for UFT to Tosca migration, scripts need to be rewritten as there are no automatic converters available. From a project perspective, there have not been many challenges with Tricentis products. The main improvement area would be developing a connector to move UFT scripts to Tosca, which would enable quicker and easier movement for customers. This would aid faster adoption of Tosca and ease the financial pressure on clients who currently need to invest in rewriting scripts.

Senior Software Engineer 2 at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers

Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"UI and UX are pretty easy to understand without much of a problem."

"Tricentis qTest brought benefits by providing all test cases in one central repository with easy access."

"The solution works very well for test management and it also automates a lot of the testing functions so that you don't have to manage them in Excel spreadsheets."

"Works well for test management and is a good testing repository."

"On a weekly basis, for reporting it has definitely saved at least 50 percent of our time, if not more."

"Overall, it's better than Quality Center in the ways that I have explained."

"Being able to log into Defects, go right into JIRA, add that defect to the user story, right there at that point, means we connect all of that. That is functionality we haven't had in the past. As a communication hub, it works really well. It's pretty much a closed loop; it's all contained right there. There's no delay. You're getting from the defect to the system to JIRA to the developer."

"The integration with Selenium and other tools is one of the valuable features. Importing of test cases is also good."

More Tricentis qTest pros

"Overall, I rate Tricentis Tosca as a ten out of ten."

"The product is extremely stable and provides excellent value."

"We have, within the first six months, been able to automate 85% of our critical business processes and we have been able to maintain that while keeping our BCR ratio down, and we have also seen about 234 defects per month in production drop to less than 8."

"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."

"Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases."

"I would definitely recommend this product to my colleagues or my friends because it is very useful if they are using the Tosca Query Language (TQL)."

"Risk-based testing, test optimization, and support for over one hundred technologies are some of the most important capabilities of the platform."

"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

"Zephyr really improves the testing of the product on many levels - planning, test case creation, automation goals, test reporting, and verification of the testing."

"At this moment, it is fulfilling our requirements."

"It has a very intuitive user experience."

"It has 90% of the basic features you need without having to pay a lot of extra money."

"It's very simple to use, which is beneficial, and it has 90% of the basic features you need without having to pay a lot of extra money."

"It has integration with test automation tools."

"If anyone is looking for a good, lightweight, flexible and agile test management product, I think they would do very well with Zephyr Enterprise."

More Zephyr Enterprise pros

Cons

"Right now, on a scale of one to five, I would say the Insights reporting engine is a three because we are facing some performance issues."

"The support for Tricentis qTest has room for improvement. The response could be better."

"The user interface has a somewhat outdated design, which is certainly an area that could be improved."

"Reporting shouldn't be so difficult. I shouldn't have to write so many queries to get the data I'm looking for, for a set of metrics about how many releases we had. I still have to break those spreadsheets out of there to get the data I need."

"I'd like to see better integration in the platform so that there is a testing automation continuum, where customers can easily mature through qTest and Tosca functionalities."

"I really can't stand the Defects module. It's not easy to use."

"You can add what I believe are called suites and modules. I opened a ticket on this as to what's the difference. And it seems there's very little difference. In some places, the documentation says there's no difference. You just use them to organize how you want. But they're not quite the same because there are some options you can do under one and not the other. That gets confusing. But since they are very close to the same, people use them differently and that creates a lack of consistency."

"The Insights reporting engine has a good test-metrics tracking dashboard; the overall intent is good, compared to other test tracking or test management tools, but the execution is a little bit limited and the results are not consistent."

More Tricentis qTest cons

"Scaling can be tedious."

"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."

"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades."

"The stability and reliability of Tricentis Tosca is just 60% for me."

"I would like a better user interface."

"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."

"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."

"Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

"The reporting, and the ability to reorganize the test repository, which are a little stifling. There is definitely room for improvement there."

"It's difficult to export the test cases in Zephyr, especially with screenshots or attachments, making sharing test cases not very easy."

"The reporting, and the ability to reorganize the test repository, which are a little stifling. There is definitely room for improvement there."

"Additionally, they could improve the daily reporting. It does generate reports, but they are screen based reports."

"Security needs improvement to protect customer information better."

"We have a lot of automation for our products, and we require a utility for its integration with automation. Currently, we have to write this utility ourselves. It would be great if they can provide such a utility."

"For JIRA, in comparison to other solutions, such as TestRail, Zephyr is good, but it is not as good as DFS."

More Zephyr Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're paying $19,000 a year right now for qTest, with 19 licenses. All the on-premise support is bundled into that."

"Our license price point is somewhere between $1,000 and $2,000 a year."

"Based on whatever I heard, I can say that Tricentis qTest is a little costlier than other test management tools, like Jira, Zephyr, or Xray."

"It's quite a few times more costly than other tools on the market."

"The price I was quoted is just under $60,000 for 30 licenses, annually, and that's with a 26.5 percent discount."

"We signed for a year and I believe we paid $24,000 for Flood, Manager, and the qTest Insights. We paid an extra for $4,000 for the migration support."

"For me, pricing for Tricentis qTest is moderate, so that's a five out of ten. It's more affordable than my company's previous solution, which was Micro Focus ALM."

"For the 35 concurrent licenses, we pay something like $35,000 a year."

More Tricentis qTest pricing and cost advice

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."

"We hired a consultant to figure out all the tools in our company and how they fit in our company before we purchased the solution."

"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."

"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."

"If you are purchasing less than five licenses, then the pricing is high. On a scale from one to ten, with one being low and ten being high pricing, I would rate this solution at eight."

"Tricentis Tosca is not expensive at all."

"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."

"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."

More Tricentis Tosca pricing and cost advice

"It costs a couple of thousand dollars for a little more than 125 users, per month."

"DFS is more expensive than Zephyr. DFS is around $32 per person, whereas Zephyr is $10 per person. There is a major difference in the price, which is the main reason why we are trying to shift to Zephyr."
