SmartBear TestComplete Reviews

Name Mapping and finding objects at run time. I have no issue because its IDE is simple to use.

• License is less expensive than the other products available in the market.
• I have automated the regression test suite of my company's product.

It has memory leaks. I have seven complete test projects, all of them loaded in one project suite. I don't know why memory increases when I just write the code and check-in/out files from the VSTS.

For last five years.

Often crashes with large projects. File check-in takes too much time in TFS.

No idea.

Community is very helpful.

I didn't switch from another solution.

I would say straightforward, and really easy to work on TestComplete with its simple IDE.

They are changing the licensing structure which is really bad. TestComplete 11 supports all TestComplete modules in one license. TestComplete 12 has separate licenses for each module, Web, Desktop, etc. I hate the new licensing structure.

I have no idea.

It's a really good product with minimal issues.

It has easy recording, understanding, and use without too much programming.

Should improve parts for desktop products.

I have used it for four years and still use it today.

Yes, some.

Good, I only needed it once.

Yes, I had already used it. I changed because I did not have any solutions as close to the real thing as this. Free tools mostly do not resolve the problem.

The first was difficult only in learning how to do it. Going forward, it has been easy and intuitive. We scale projects the best way for the company as we find that the simpler way to do it.

It is expensive, and it is difficult to acquire living in Brazil. They should facilitate this. There are few representatives for this solution with little interest in selling it here.

Yes, JMeter.

It is a great product. Just get advice before installation and everything will be much easier for you. I strongly recommend it.

One of the valuable features is object identification. It provides the different options to users so they can uniquely identify the objects.

By automating the regression test cases, it has increased effective testing process and reduced the cycle time.

I would like to see recovery scenarios.

I have been using this solution for over four years.

I did not encounter any issues with stability.

I did not encounter any issues with scalability.

I would give technical support a rating of 8/10.

When we started using this tool, only TestComplete provided the support of the automation for WPF objects.

The initial setup was easy.

This is cheaper compared to other testing tools.

We evaluated other options QTP.

This is the best tool for GUI and Web Automation.

Ability to test all types of application (desktop, mobile, and web).

In all projects where I participated it helped significantly improve and speed up regression testing, which is usually bottleneck before release.

Since v11 of TestComplete it has all the features I was dreaming about during these years. Probably the only one great thing could be cross-platform testing (Linux, MacOS).

I've been using it since 2006.

No, I have never had any difficulties with TestComplete. All possible issues are also covered in TestComplete's help system and available online.

No issues encountered.

It is impressive! What I like the most is the fact that support team helps solving problems not only for their registered customers, but everyone else as well.

In last 12 years I also used SilkTest and Squish. They have some benefits which TestComplete doesn't have, but in general TestComplete overcomes them.

Was it difficult to set up the application first time? No. Or was it difficult to start using it? No, it was easy thanks to its tutorials.

I did everything by myself. There is nothing difficult in it, TestComplete is very user-friendly.

• Its Multi browser testing capabilities
• Record-and playback
• Network suite testing (remote testing) capabilities
• Key word driven testing with ability to finetune tests using scripting languages
• Its flexible logging capabilities
• High level of support from Smartbear
• Support of other users in large userbase

Using TestComplete, the application tests are executed at night unmanned, so that test engineers can focus on developing new tests instead of executing existing tests.

Implementation of screen recording during testing (video recording).

I've used it for approximately four years.

Very professional and adequate. I would rate this on a 9.5/10.

It's straightforward.

I implemented it myself, using instructions from the vendor’s website.

Start with evaluation version of the product, which can be downloaded from Smartbear's website, and after the initial evaluation, decide which licensing method you need.

I have evaluated other solutions, the cost model, the level of support of legacy software, the easy of use and easy implementation approach were main reasons to choose this product.

Focus on implementing a test automation framework. Start by downloading a free evaluation trial version of the product, and see if the product works well with the application(s) you want to design an automated test frame for.

• Front-end click and record
• Ability to read in from and output to text files

• Creating test input with tens of thousands of combinations of fields
• Evolution of regression suite to sanity check new builds

• Product ungracefully crashes or hangs sometimes
• Sometimes gets caught out by messages appearing which confuses what is in focus

I used it for five years.

It's good.

It's a simple installation, plus a license key.

• Some dev input required to develop app for playback
• Products own script playback facility is unreliable and we needed something that could kill and relaunch TestComplete

This was all handled by management.

An evaluation of Microsoft competition found it to not be suitable for front-end testing (it was more suitable to integration testing).

• Dynamic Find methods
  • FindChild
  • FindAllChildren
  • FindAll
• Keys method
• Project variables
• Time delay methods

It helped to automate all the possible functional test cases which I previously used to do by manual testing.

I have used it for Web Application automation and sometimes find difficulties while recognizing dynamically-generated runtime object.

We use this solution for test automation. A few months ago we began working on a project, and this solution is part of an evaluation phase. We are trying to include the whole suite from SmartBear including HipTest and SoapUI Pro.

Our primary use case is a web solution that we are trying to get working on the mobile solution, based on Flutter. All of our apps are built on Flutter, which is still very new for us. There is no support right now, so we are working closely with SmartBear TestComplete to integrate it.

We have an on-premises deployment.

The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps. That has been, by far, the best thing for us. We can use it to integrate everything that we are running in the test automation tool, which is linked directly to the test cases. This is the only tool on the marked at actually has this functionality, and it has only come about since 14.2, the latest version.

What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing. This is what we are currently negotiating with them for.

Specifically, we would like to see Flutter support in the next release of this solution.

From my experience at this point, I would say that this solution is stable. Even with the earlier versions, as long as you set it up properly, it was stable.

In terms of scalability, I think that it works pretty well if you have agents.

We have not spoken directly with technical support. Currently, we are talking to the product manager.

We are using the SmartBear suite, which meant that setting up TestComplete was pretty straightforward. As we are still evaluating, it has not been fully deployed.

We haven't fully evaluated this solution, although I know that they have made a lot of updates since I worked on it the last time. The results of this evaluation will set the standard for other projects. We are creating the basis for everything. As things progress, it will be me creating the test, but it will be executed on several machines.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
