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."The biggest thing I liked about it is that there is a huge user base out there, and being shareware and being Apache, if I have any question on how to get something done, I get 18 different answers. Out of those, there would be at least a few good approaches for what I was trying to do. So, the support system out there is most valuable."
"The reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"We use Apache JMeter for load testing, where we provide the throughput time."
"It is cost-effective and simple to use."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free."
"JMeter is user-friendly, and that's a notable advantage of JVTech. It's straightforward and easy to use, unlike some other load testing tools, making it very easy to understand."
"Very user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"The Model-Based Test Automation is the most valuable feature, where you can create reusable components. Even though we are using a scriptless automation tool, there still needs to be an understanding of how to create reusable components and how to keep refactoring and how to keep regression, the test scripts, at an okay level. We are coupling Tosca with some other risk-based testing tools, as well, but automation is primarily what we're using Tosca for, the scriptless, model-based technology which is driving automation for us."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"The solution needs more metrics for reporting."
"Apache JMeter may have difficulty recognizing dynamic objects in some critical cases, which can lead to challenges in terms of object identification."
"Until now, JMeter is not supporting most of the protocols."
"We would like more documentation to be provided for the advanced level features that are available in this solution, in order to improve development."
"The user interface is a little bit tricky."
"Modeling a test is difficult. If you don't have much knowledge, you won't be able to do it easily. Testing APIs is also difficult."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"Currently, the integration pipeline is implemented by using Jenkins or a similar tool platform. These are continuous integration tools. As far as I know, integration is done by using custom scripts. It would be good if the integration with a continuous integration pipeline, like Jenkins or Hudson, can be done out of the box without using a script."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"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."
"It can be quite expensive."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
