We performed a comparison between Parasoft SOAtest 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."We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."
"We can automate our scenarios in a data driven format, which shows there is no rework on scripts. We only need to update the test data and run for a number of scenarios."
"Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports."
"Every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used."
"Automatic testing is the most valuable feature."
"Parasoft SOAtest has improved the quality of our automated web services, which can be easily implemented through service chaining and service virtualization."
"Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally."
"The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"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."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly."
"During the process of working with SOAtest and building test cases, the .TST files will grow. A negative side effect is that saving your changes takes more time."
"The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually."
"Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."
"The summary reports could be improved."
"Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times."
"Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu."
"Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"The solution is expensive."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve. The reporting section could be better and some of the new features could be simplified. Additionally, the user management of the client and the server are confusing. There should not be two."
"I would like a better user interface."
