Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."I face no challenges or stability issues."
"As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding."
"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 solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"The Model-Based Test Automation is the most valuable feature, where you can create reusable components. Even though we are using a scriptless automation tool, there still needs to be an understanding of how to create reusable components and how to keep refactoring and how to keep regression, the test scripts, at an okay level. We are coupling Tosca with some other risk-based testing tools, as well, but automation is primarily what we're using Tosca for, the scriptless, model-based technology which is driving automation for us."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"Performance-wise, it is a great tool."
"I was satisfied with the support given by customer service."
"Visual Studio is the easiest to use."
"The product is good to create big or small projects fastly. It is one of the leaders in the area."
"Visual Studio is highly powerful. It's probably the best software development tool on the market."
"The interface is easy to use."
"It is very easy to use. You can handle a lot of things together at once in one package, which is a good point for us."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"I would like a better user interface."
"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint."
"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."
"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"The solution can improve the startup time."
"The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution."
"I would appreciate some enhancements in the interface, maybe adding more color options."
"Its UI could be better."
"Visual Studio Test Professional should include more automation."
"The tool crashes and has high memory consumption."
"The pricing of this solution should be lowered."
"The service right now is far too expensive. You need to pay per user."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
