"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"The most valuable features of Katalon Studio are its user-friendliness and the AI smart healing capabilities."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding."
"Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"One improvement would be if it could support more programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Right now, it is only on Groovy, which I think is not a too popular language."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen."
"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"Setup wasn't that straightforward; it was more complex. It all depends on the environment, because there were a lot of errors on our applications. Therefore, it wasn't an easy setup for us."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants. The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement. I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
