We performed a comparison between SmartBear TestComplete and Tricentis Tosca based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Tricentis Tosca is the preferred solution of many PeerSpot users. This completely scriptless automation tool. Tricentis is focused on continuously improving their tools and can provide a solution for almost any challenge. SmartBear currently only supports Windows and is lacking in some necessary API interfaces.
"This company offers end-to-end capabilities for test suite creation and execution. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the tagging system. Tags are highly valuable, as they allow you to assign tags to your test cases. When there's an impact in a specific area, you can search for and run all test cases associated with that tag. I find this functionality very useful."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"It works very fine. It is fast on almost any machine, and it is also very well organized. I like its object mapping and its capability to find and interact with almost everything that exists on Windows."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"The product has many features."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"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 automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"At times, identifying or locating an element can be somewhat challenging. However, in a recent test update, they introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. This introduction has reduced the challenges to some extent, as we can now utilize OCR if the normal method doesn't work. Nevertheless, there is still significant potential for improvement in TestComplete's ability to identify various object elements. I don't have any specific concerns to mention. I have observed significant improvements in TestComplete over the past few years, especially in its support for highly dynamic object elements used in products like Salesforce Dynamics 365. In earlier versions, there were numerous challenges, but the current version is far superior to its predecessors."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"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 Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
"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."
"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
