Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses.""We are using the automation and performance testing tools.""The scalability is good.""It allowed us to understand the working and performance of the APIs.""I have enjoyed using parameters and setting parameters while powering directly.""With Postman you can do automation. Automation has increased efficiency by more than 30% or 40%. Because the speed has increased, it's also possible for us to do in-sprint automation testing.""Postman helps us to automate the API testing in the team.""It is a scalable solution."

More Postman Pros →

"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.""We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would take us at least two months. By automating these tasks using Tosca, now it takes five to 10 days maximum. Tricentis Tosca is a codeless or scriptless automation tool.""Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira.""It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications.""The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool.""What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools.""We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation.""Object Identification Wizard."

Cons
"If we have a certain build on one machine it won't work with another build even if we are using the same URL. It would give us a connection refuse. So developing environment compatibility would make it better.""I live in Turkey, so for me, the value of dollar currency is high...Postman can change its pricing policy and decrease the prices for Turkey.""The tool needs to have a reporting feature.""I was not even aware that it was possible to automate tasks in Postman...Some features related to the automation of tasks need to be added to the solution.""An area that needs some improvement would be to allow multiple windows with different collections to be open at the same time.""Testing API is pretty straightforward in Postman, but it falls short when testing web services. For example, when we test web services, there is a visual component that we can import in SoapUI but not in Postman.""Reporting can be better. If you have bigger APIs, it takes time.""Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."

More Postman Cons →

"Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it. After that, they tried a new approach with key-tracing, and that didn't work.""The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve.""I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories.""What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved.""The solution is expensive.""Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response.""Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation.""Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
