We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and Tricentis Tosca based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Tricentis Tosca comes out on top in this comparison. The solution is easy to use and manage and offers some very robust intuitive features. The low-code option makes it easy for any user to maneuver across the solution and achieve effective outcomes. Tricentis Tosca is continually improving the solution, which enables organizations to complete tasks more efficiently and with greater speed and precision.
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"Katalon Studio's biggest advantage is its price. It's a good tool for the price, albeit with some limitations when you compare it with tools like Tricentis Tosca."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"It's been very helpful to have connectivity with mobile. The tool also identifies some of the actual changes from the recordings on the actual testing suite. That is something that I really like."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"Currently, I'm the only one who can use it because I have a Mac. It is giving a hard time to my team members who are on Linux. My team members are using Linux, and Katalon doesn't support Linux very well. It keeps on crashing. It crashes and shuts down almost every time they save their work, so they are not able to use it. It should have good support for Linux. We don't know what the problem is. If the Katalon team can pick up this issue, it will be very helpful."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"The product is comparatively slow."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"Katalon Studio could improve having visual testing, but I think they're launching that feature very soon. We would like to see an increase in the usage of AI."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants. The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement. I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
"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."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
