We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful.""Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time.""The initial setup isn't too difficult.""We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation.""One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal.""You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues.""The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios.""With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."

"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder.""It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training.""AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows.""If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."

Cons
"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.""It needs better integration with JIRA.""I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories.""Very difficult to get information about licensing costs.""You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others.""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.""They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports.""Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."

More Tricentis Tosca Cons →

"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot.""The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps.""Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial.""I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
