The overall competence of the support has declined; previously, the support was very good, but recently, it has become difficult to reach them and get solutions, and it's taking a lot of time.

There is no way to mark the importance or criticality of incidents when creating them.

Senior Software Engineer 2 at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The stability of Tricentis Tosca is rated ten out of ten. It is very stable.
Senior Director at Ascendion
I find stability issues when using the Vision AI feature; Tricentis Tosca is not very stable.

Room For Improvement

Tricentis Tosca struggles with upgrades, high costs, mobile testing difficulties, and requires improvements in AI, UI, and reporting.
Users find ZAPTEST documentation outdated, desire better support, improved features, and enhanced test result and save functions.
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.
Test Automation Specialist at Accenture
Moving to a cloud-based application rather than a desktop one could improve Tosca.

Tricentis Tosca's pricing is high, appealing to large enterprises with flexible licensing, though costly for smaller companies.
ZAPTEST provides cost-effective enterprise solutions with flexible licensing, low fees, and a free evaluation, making it a budget-friendly choice.
The pricing for Tricentis Tosca is extremely high, and I rate it as ten in terms of expense.

Has useful scanning, basic web application automation, and data validation capabilities
The main issue with Tricentis Tosca is its cost, which is very high. Although using Tosca can reduce the number of testers needed compared to open-source tools like Selenium, companies might still need to focus on resources. I would recommend Tricentis reduce the cost of its licenses. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten as I am satisfied with it.

We can write our codes just after the functional docs are prepared, and we can straight away start testing the application in the system testing phase itself.
* Using this tool, we can automate test cases even before the deployment of an application. This can be done by scanning objects from UI mock-ups or screenshots. * One script multi-run technology reduces scripting effort and budget by which you can run one unique script to test multiple platforms. * We can write one code and run it in multiple browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox anything) and operating systems (Android, Windows, anything). * PDF validation, average colour validation, etc. are better and stable. * We can literally automate anything (not necessarily web applications) using ZAPTEST as it works exactly as a human eye and doesn't dig into application codes. * Partial OCR and block recognization are game changers. * JIRA and ALM integration
