End-to-end regression automation has accelerated delivery and now secures complex test data
I think Tosca can be improved, particularly in AI capabilities because right now Tosca does not have any strong API capabilities. It has some AI features in the newer version, but many organizations have not adopted these due to version-specific problems, as some are still using older versions. From an AI point of view, they can enhance reliability since the world is moving towards AI, and every tool must be integrated. While Tosca has made attempts, I have not used them and they are not widely adopted, so they are stuck in the testing phase in my organization. I would also mention that while I am currently using Tosca Mobile, the loading part and connectivity issues need improvement. They should better integrate AI features that are already present but not widely used across many organizations. Reliability on the AI aspect needs enhancement for practical application. From the perspective of governance and security, I believe Tosca can develop its own LLM or leverage third-party LLMs while maintaining security and risk management regarding client data. Many companies prefer using Tosca due to data security, which is crucial. An in-house LLM could significantly enhance its debugging power and provide helpful solutions upon test case failure.

Integration with tool streamlines test management but needs better exporting options
I use it for test management within Jira This tool boasts an incredibly user-friendly interface that integrates seamlessly with other Jira tools. I particularly appreciate its intuitive features for designing test plans, creating test cases, and executing test cycles. Some areas for improvement,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is extremely stable and provides excellent value."
"TOSCA Testsuite is a very good automation tool."
"Tosca can work with a wide range of technological solutions; it's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"It makes testing easy, specially when we need to test lengthy Oracle R12 End to End flows."
"Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"This product contains a lot of functionality; it can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting, and I like it because everything is available in one place."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"Now, we are getting consolidated reports in one place, we have all our metrics and repository together, and this is helpful."
"The solution does its job well."
"Zephyr Enterprise is a stable solution."
"We use the solution for test case management."
"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."
"At this moment, it is fulfilling our requirements."
"Zephyr really improves the testing of the product on many levels - planning, test case creation, automation goals, test reporting, and verification of the testing."
"It has integration with test automation tools."
 

Cons

"Do not buy this tool if you simply need a driver for your automation, as open source solutions (e.g. Selenium), or technology specific solutions are more suitable here."
"Some issues with stability, but those are minor errors."
"Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area."
"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Not part of my job, but during the upgrade our IT departmend faced several issues in the installation process of the new version."
"Scaling can be tedious."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"Zephyr Enterprise needs to redesign the reporting."
"We faced some errors while uploading the test cases."
"The only thing I have missed is an easy way to configure showing the latest execution results of all test cases linked in JIRA (story/epic), thus, receiving the state of a feature."
"Additionally, they could improve the daily reporting. It does generate reports, but they are screen based reports."
"The solution is not really stable. Sometimes in the past, some pages wouldn't load due to issues."
"We would like support for the agile and behavior-driven development (BDD) approaches."
"The reporting, and the ability to reorganize the test repository, which are a little stifling. There is definitely room for improvement there."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."
"It is expensive."
"Tosca is expensive. I don't see small and medium customers going for it. It's always large enterprises that have a big pocket. It is very expensive as compared to the other tools that we have in the market. They should reduce the price by half, and if they do that, they would do better business. From the competition perspective, other solutions are at a pretty similar level. UiPath is also very expensive. One thing that I always wanted was a short-term consumption license. With Tricentis, the biggest challenge is that you have to go for a minimum of one year license, and they also try to sell you a three-year license. It would be good if people can get a three-month or four-month consumption license."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."
"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."
"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."
"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."
