Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."One of LoadRunner's standout features is its extensive support for various TechStacks and protocols."
"It's a fast product, so you don't have much trouble in terms of maintenance overhead. You don't want to just look into configuring load generators, look for upgrades, and end up having that take up a lot of your time. With this solution, you just log in and you start using it. This means that there is a huge benefit in terms of the overhead of maintaining the infrastructure and the maintenance effort."
"The most valuable feature is that we do not have to accommodate the load-testing infrastructure in our own data center."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the Vuser license; it allows us to reduce the cost as per requirement."
"The beauty of LoadRunner Cloud is that we can use the load generator that is hosted by us on-premises, and we also have the option to use their hosted load generator. If it is a public-hosted application, we can also use their public-hosted load generator, but in our case, all our applications are hosted in our data center, so we are using the on-premise load generator. We have the option to deploy those load generators as we want."
"The solution can scale."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It is feature-rich. It supports most protocols, which is important because I am in charge of a team at the bank, and we do performance testing for all kinds of different applications. We have tons of them. We even do video streams."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"Tosca BI is important to make sure that our data integrity is in check and validated; to make sure our data is good. Our data is the number-one important driver for our company, so if that's not good, we have some big problems."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"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."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"Sometimes, you are utilizing one of the low generators, then all of a sudden if you discontinue from one project, it actually deletes the entire low generator."
"Its scripting features need improvement."
"We encounter hurdles while running the professional version for on-premise setup."
"We did have some challenges with the initial implementation."
"The support team provides delayed responses."
"Improvements to the reporting would be good."
"One area for improvement in LoadRunner Cloud, especially for agile models, is its limited support for functional testing alongside its robust non-functional testing capabilities."
"Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
