SmartBear currently only supports Windows and is lacking in some necessary API interfaces.
"This company offers end-to-end capabilities for test suite creation and execution. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the tagging system. Tags are highly valuable, as they allow you to assign tags to your test cases. When there's an impact in a specific area, you can search for and run all test cases associated with that tag. I find this functionality very useful."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"You can record your actions and play them back later."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."
"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."
"It's stable and reliable."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"The Model-Based Test Automation is the most valuable feature, where you can create reusable components. Even though we are using a scriptless automation tool, there still needs to be an understanding of how to create reusable components and how to keep refactoring and how to keep regression, the test scripts, at an okay level. We are coupling Tosca with some other risk-based testing tools, as well, but automation is primarily what we're using Tosca for, the scriptless, model-based technology which is driving automation for us."
"We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."
"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."
"I would like a better user interface."
"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."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
