We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT Developer and Tricentis Tosca 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."One of the important features, which speeds up the automation testing development with LeanFT, is its object repository functions. Object identification are the most time-consuming aspect of building automation tests. LeanFT gives that out of the box. It helps you identify the objects and after that, once you got the object in place, then it's just about building the test scripts. So it reduces your development time significantly."
"This tool is really good. We don't need to write any code, but it writes the code itself, only record and play. And it is simple, and it is not heavy; I mean, it doesn't have a large footprint, and it works well for us."
"The most valuable features are the object repository."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT Developer is the flexibility to work with many different types of software."
"It's a complete pursuit and it's a logical pursuit working with HPE."
"The recording feature is quite good as it helps us to find out how things are working."
"The most valuable feature is the Object Model, where you can directly pull up the object as a global or a local."
"The solution is very scalable."
"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."
"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"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."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"Integration with other tools can become a costly exercise."
"With Smart Bear products generally, you can have only one instance of the tool running on a machine."
"Easier connectivity and integration with SAP would be helpful."
"The support from Micro Focus needs a lot of improvement."
"Object definition and recognition need improvement, especially with calendar controls. I faced challenges with schedulers and calendars."
"I have to keep the remote machine open while the tests are running, otherwise, it leads to instability."
"The tool could be a little easier."
"The product has shown no development over the past 10 or 15 years."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"One thing to improve in Tricentis Tosca is that it's not compatible with Excel based forms. Another area for improvement is that the tool is not compatible with OpenText applications. The support and licensing cost for it also need improvement. The tool also needs cloud support, as it's currently on-premises only."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"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."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
