We performed a comparison between Tricentis Tosca and Visual Studio Test Professional based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Functional Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"Customization is the most powerful feature of this product."
"The most valuable feature has been to store all our packages in one place including SSIS packages, SQL tables, TFS and SSR."
"The product is good to create big or small projects fastly. It is one of the leaders in the area."
"The tool has highly detailed debugging features."
"The solution is very useful for compiling existing projects and developing new projects."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a very scalable solution."
"The solution is very stable."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a scalable solution."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"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."
"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."
"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint."
"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 can be quite expensive."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its stability."
"The tool crashes and has high memory consumption."
"The price is reasonable, but it's not the best."
"Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its scalability."
"Its UI could be better."
"I would appreciate some enhancements in the interface, maybe adding more color options."
"I would like to see more integration in the solution."
"Visual Studio Test Professional could improve by having better integration with external databases."
