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 most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"The ability to quickly make your own components has been valuable."
"Visual Studio is the easiest to use."
"Code testing is the most valuable feature of this solution for developing software."
"It is a good and user-friendly tool."
"The solution is very stable; there's nothing in relation to stability to complain about."
"The solution is very useful for compiling existing projects and developing new projects."
"We are satisfied with technical support. Communicating with them is very simple. We also have a lot of online resources to check and to study and to train our team with. The documentation is very clear and readily available."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."
"It can be quite expensive."
"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."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"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."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"Sometimes, the solution hangs, so its performance could be improved."
"Sometimes Visual Studio is slow. It uses a lot of resources like memory and processing power. You should optimize the performance by only installing what you need on your machine. Don't install unnecessary things that will slow your machine."
"The pricing of this solution should be lowered."
"The solution's documentation could be improved because it keeps disappearing from the solution."
"It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve."
"Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its stability."
"The performance could be faster."
"It is not good in terms of performance. When you open Visual Studio, you have to wait for a while to process your code. It uses a lot of resources and has a lot of features. If we could disable some of the features, it would be lighter and faster to use. Nowadays, for some of the projects, we use VS Code for JavaScript or Python. VS Code is very light and easy to use, whereas, in Visual Studio, we have to wait because it takes time to compile or run a project. It has a lot of competitors in terms of performance, such as Intelligent ID. Intelligent ID is very easy to use. It has many features, and it is lighter to use than Visual Studio. In terms of error handling, sometimes, it shows an error before you finish your code, which can be improved. It would be good if it has a version for Linux. I use VS Code on Linux, but I am not sure if Visual Studio has a version for Linux."
