User-friendly tool and anyone can learn it easily without needing any coding skills
It's a very user-friendly tool. Anyone can learn it easily without needing any coding skills. You can just watch the demos or videos, and then start using it because it's very straightforward and user-friendly Data management is simple. You can manage and use your data and test cases. Resiliency…

Saves time by decoupling test scripts from the data and the application, and allows us to implement logic into the scripts without coding
Certify is integrated with Solution Manager, but this integration could be easier. Overall, in terms of how it is working, I find it pretty clever in all the areas. There are only tiny things. For example, to log into Certify, you have to put in your username and password. In version 12, they changed it, and the password is no longer stored. So, you have to enter it every time you log in. Similarly, there should be a way to store the layout of tables in Certify. You can adjust your tables, but when you close Certify, if I recall correctly, the layout of the table is not stored automatically. So, you have to adjust it every time. I'm, however, not quite certain about it. These are tiny things that they can improve, but compared to the whole feature list of Certify, they are not so important.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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 well integrated with other products like Jira."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"The tool itself is highly effective, especially when it comes to comprehensibility for newcomers."
"It is highly scalable and reusable. It is easy for team members to maintain and use with confidence. There is great versatility."
"We love the Capture 2.0 feature. It seems to work very well."
"What I like about Worksoft Certify is that end-to-end testing becomes faster."
"With autotesting, we have been able to eliminate duplication of test cases across those four areas. This has helped us knock down our number of test cases. Our test cases are also running more optimally. Therefore, it has very much helped in that sense, so we were able to eliminate a lot of test cases and get out of manual silos by running on autotesting, which is more efficient."
"The Worksoft Capture feature is most valuable. For example, if you are creating a sales order in SAP, you do not need to go to each field and do everything. You do not need to write code for each and every line. You can just turn on the Worksoft Capture feature and manually perform your actions. It will capture all manual actions, and it will give you the steps. It will write the steps for you."
"People who don't have coding knowledge are capable of doing automation with Certify. It reduces coding and scripting dependencies."
"For this SAP upgrade or implementation, the business users are creating building blocks in their areas, then they're changing the building blocks into long end-to-end scripts to do a complete end-to-end testing to speed up the UAT. It definitely has a bigger coverage of UAT testing."
 

Cons

"The product needs to improve object identification. The identify with properties and anchor methods work perfectly, while the by-index and image methods may face challenges."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"The issue is that even though the components are tightly integrated, object identification can be quite slow, sometimes taking five to ten seconds."
"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"The definitions for the objects need to be automated. They need to be recognized automatically by Worksoft Certify instead of changing them back and forth manually. This is also something that Worksoft is currently working on."
"They have a scheduler in Execution Manager, but it is not customizable. Its UI needs a lot of improvement. The lights-out testing is a bit difficult with that particular tool, and it needs a lot of improvement. Of course, there are so many integration options with Worksoft for execution, but when it comes to Execution Manager, which is their own tool, there is a lot of scope for improvement."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where certain improvements are required."
"It is poor for a web based application."
"When it is unstable, there will be times when a test that we are running in Certify will just stop, and it will say, "Aborted." There will be errors. There will be no explanation as to why it happens. It has now happened maybe one out of 20 times. When it happens, I just tell our QA team to stop Certify and restart it, hoping we don't see it again."
"Capture 2.0 is not as useful when you get into more mature automation."
"Reportings are not user-friendly."
"Web UI testing was difficult in the beginning, as we had a homegrown product, and we had to do the proper object naming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."
"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."
"I am satisfied with the cost."
"The tool is quite expensive."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."
"If we do one manual process, it could take approximately two hours. The same process using Worksoft probably takes ten minutes."
"We ended up buying too many licenses. They were very good at selling it to us, and probably oversold it a little. We bought 45 licenses and have never used more than twenty. However, they gave us a pretty significant discount on the bigger license, so it made sense for us to buy enough that we wouldn't have to go back and ask for more."
"Cost-wise, compared with other tools, it is a great product."
"This solution is expensive."
"Our ROI is primarily a reduction in testing time. The testing, when we were doing it manually, was 30 to 40 percent of the project's cost."
"It is costly. It is a bit more expensive than Tricentis Tosca and other tools. If they reduce its price going forward and have partnerships with other vendors, it will grow like anything."
"There is a cost involved to doing it, but once you get over the initial cost, then you'll start reaping the benefits and seeing that testing is getting done more quickly and efficiently. We are still early on with it, but the expectation and what we're seeing is that we will start seeing some savings coming out on the back-end once we have this done."
"Saving money and better quality, these are the benefits of Certify."
