Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"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 reporting is really nice."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"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."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
