Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers
Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

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

"It offers many features, such as risk-based testing and scenario creation using Kafka."
"The low code is the best feature."
"The platform's most valuable feature is model-based testing, which is effective for test case design and optimization."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"Tests written once can be reused across different projects."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"Now, we are getting consolidated reports in one place, we have all our metrics and repository together, and this is helpful."
"It has a very intuitive user experience."
"It has many features, but the main things that we need are the test cycles and integration with automation because we have automation for the web and mobile applications. We use it for test case management to run the test cases and get the results. At this moment, it is fulfilling our requirements. We are able to get the test execution report and the test pass and fail report. This summary is delivered to our management."
"We use the solution for test case management."
"At this moment, it is fulfilling our requirements."
"It has integration with test automation tools."
"It has a very intuitive user experience."
"Zephyr Enterprise is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"The issue is that even though the components are tightly integrated, object identification can be quite slow, sometimes taking five to ten seconds."
"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."
"The product, at times, does not recognize objects, especially in web applications."
"Licenses are expensive, but they are worth using."
"Not part of my job, but during the upgrade our IT departmend faced several issues in the installation process of the new version."
"The only thing I am not happy about is not so much the product, but it's that we don’t a good way to control licenses."
"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."
"I feel that the Tosca tool should be improved for handling Siebel applications. Tosca doesn't handle Siebel applications as well as it handles other platform applications."
"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."
"Zephyr Enterprise needs to redesign the reporting."
"We faced some errors while uploading the test cases."
"Security needs improvement to protect customer information better."
"It's difficult to export the test cases in Zephyr, especially with screenshots or attachments, making sharing test cases not very easy."
"The solution is not really stable. Sometimes in the past, some pages wouldn't load due to issues."
"Creating better default varieties of reporting would make the product much better and more popular."
"We would like support for the agile and behavior-driven development (BDD) approaches."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am satisfied with the cost."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The price of the tool is a problem for a lot of Brazilian clients or Latino clients, as it is expensive. Where I work, if one is low price and ten is high price, I rate the tool's price as a ten out of ten."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
"Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."
"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."
