We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."JMeter is easy to use for a user who doesn't have too much knowledge of programming or certain languages."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"When there's a high number of TPS I can achieve more transactions per seconds given the hyper-limitations."
"Scripting with the solution is good."
"The scripting ability is most valuable. It is easy to use. There is a UI, and you can go in there and figure those things out. After you've got a good set of tests, you basically have a scripted document that you can grab and execute in a pipeline. It is pretty quick to set up, and you can scale it and version control it."
"We are using this for performance testing and some automation."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to launch many requests and scheduling simulating human interactions with the application."
"It's a free tool."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"We like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs. Due to this, the solution has a broad range of applications."
"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."
"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."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"If JMeter could provide a web version of editing, that would be good."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"In future releases, it would be helpful if there was an integration with ALM Octane."
"Self-healing and page rendering for the end-users are not available in Apache JMeter."
"There is some work to be done with the integration."
"There are certain things like we can't merge custom metrics into the JMeter reports. We're limited to JMeter metrics, and other server metrics can't be integrated with JMeter dashboard. This forces us to rely on another tool."
"The initial setup is complex and needs to be upgraded."
"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."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
