We performed a comparison between Postman and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use it for REST API testing. Feature-wise, it is pretty lightweight. It is pretty fast, and we don't have to do a lot of things. We can just simply go and post our endpoint, and it gives different kinds of authorizations. We usually use authentication 2.0, which is the most common industry practice. So, it has the support for authorization through 2.0."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The solution has helped us very well in testing endpoint URLs."
"I like that it is very easy to use. I also like the automation feature."
"The solution provides visibility for PDF reports without needing to install plugins."
"The API testing features are valuable."
"The scalability is good."
"No coding required."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"Should have a more improved easy-to-use interface."
"Postman could be improved by providing options for performance testing of APIs."
"Postman does not have a check-in balance. Essentially what I mean by that is if there is something that is already configured on a particular device, it just overrides it without checking whether you really want to override it or not."
"One area that could be better is collection management."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
"Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."
"Reporting can be better. If you have bigger APIs, it takes time."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."
"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."
"The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"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."
"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."
