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."This solution is easier to use than any other tool in the market; there is not even a requirement to learn a lot of scripting in order to use it."
"We are using it just for load testing. We are using its free version, and it is scalable."
"The features that I appreciate are quite basic. It is easy to ramp up the threads and start calling the application. A lot of connectors can already be found within Apache JMeter, but we are not using the entire set because the integration between the customers and platform is based on HTTP. We are just going to produce lots of HTTP sequences."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free."
"It is cost-effective and simple to use."
"The solution offers a lot of plug-ins and a huge continuously developing community that is regularly offering new features and plug-ins."
"API testing, Database Testing, and MQ testing can be done with ease."
"The thread groups, samplers, and listeners, which are all determined by the script's requirements, are the most valuable features of this 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."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal."
"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."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"Report generation needs to be improved. It is quite difficult to get to."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"Apache JMeter could be a more user-friendly product from the end user's perspective."
"The UI of the solution needs to be better. The UI takes up a lot of our bandwidth."
"The reports in Apache JMeter could improve."
"You really need a technical team in order to really utilize the product."
"Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
"The product needs to improve object identification. The identify with properties and anchor methods work perfectly, while the by-index and image methods may face challenges."
