"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"The functionality of the data is very good. You can upload and disperse data using the solution."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"The most valuable features of Katalon Studio are its user-friendliness and the AI smart healing capabilities."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people."
"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."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"To me, what stands out the most about Tricentis Tosca is that even if I'm not a technical tester, I could pick up on how to use it very quickly because of the mechanisms of the tool, for example, its scanning mechanism. I'm not so technical, but I'm able to maneuver through Tricentis Tosca and derive capability. It's a user-friendly tool. It's not very complex."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"Primarily I'm dealing with customers looking for a cheap solution, and they are willing to try open-source automation solutions. So from this perspective, the price of Tosca is not as competitive."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"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."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
