Room For Improvement

Tricentis Tosca struggles with upgrades, high costs, mobile testing difficulties, and requires improvements in AI, UI, and reporting.
Worksoft Certify needs database, UI, and performance enhancements, plus improved support, integration, and AI features for better user experience.
Users find Zeenyx AscentialTest's reporting, integration, stability, and documentation inadequate, with a steep learning curve for new users.
Moving to a cloud-based application rather than a desktop one could improve Tosca.
The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work.
If a button in an application changes, Tricentis Tosca should be smart enough to detect the change and still execute the script seamlessly.
Focusing more on AI and its integration with Worksoft would really help enhance our processes.
There are still some minor issues concerning continuous testing, particularly related to the timeout feature.
 

Setup Cost

Tricentis Tosca's pricing is high, appealing to large enterprises with flexible licensing, though costly for smaller companies.
Worksoft Certify is pricey, with discounts for bulk licenses, affecting smaller businesses more due to high initial setup costs.
<p>Zeenyx AscentialTest offers cost-effective, scalable pricing with annual and perpetual licenses, suitable for both small teams and large organizations.</p>
The pricing for Tricentis Tosca is extremely high, and I rate it as ten in terms of expense.
A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros.
For enterprise customers, the cost is manageable because it provides solutions for multiple applications they want to automate.
As it is a quality tool, the price is slightly higher, but that is acceptable compared to other tools, especially considering the ROI.
The pricing is minimal and moderate.

Featured Reviews

PrabhuKrishnamoorthy - PeerSpot reviewer
Has transformed testing by reducing scripting effort and enhancing productivity with advanced features
The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic. For example, if a button in an application changes, Tricentis Tosca should be smart enough to detect the change and still execute the script seamlessly. Improvements are needed to ensure it responds dynamically to changes in the application.
Srabanti Pramanik - PeerSpot reviewer
Has streamlined SAP test automation and reduced regression cycle time through no-code capabilities
Worksoft Certify is a no-code tool that works effectively with SAP, and I appreciate all the features compared to other tools. Teams who are planning for automation and are still in manual testing can use Worksoft Certify, and significant time and resources will be reduced. Reporting for Worksoft Certify is also excellent; we have the BPP reports customized, and recently WRS has been implemented, so all these features are beneficial.
Tobias Roth - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust automation with reusable steps and seamless integration
The concept of reusable steps in Zeenyx AscentialTest has significantly enhanced our test automation efficiency. Encapsulating common actions into modular steps reduces redundancy in test scripts and ensures consistency across scenarios. This approach streamlines maintenance efforts, allowing updates to be applied universally, making our test suite more agile and adaptable to evolving project requirements. The concept of reusable steps is a key factor in maximizing reusability and maintainability in our test automation strategy. AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows. This capability ensures precise interaction with various components of an application's interface, further enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of our automated tests.
