We performed a comparison between ReadyAPI and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Functional Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's easy to automate for more data-driven testing."
"It can create stress tests very fast, and some features help you do it fast."
"It's easy to implement."
"It's easy to learn how to use it."
"ReadyAPI's best features are that it's user-friendly and its behavior-driven development is flexible."
"Reporting is more robust than other products because test reports can be exported in multiple ways."
"The most valuable feature has been the assertion as a test step as this has allowed us to increase the scope of testing and validation."
"The Excel sheet feature is good."
"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."
"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."
"The Model-Based Test Automation is the most valuable feature, where you can create reusable components. Even though we are using a scriptless automation tool, there still needs to be an understanding of how to create reusable components and how to keep refactoring and how to keep regression, the test scripts, at an okay level. We are coupling Tosca with some other risk-based testing tools, as well, but automation is primarily what we're using Tosca for, the scriptless, model-based technology which is driving automation for us."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"The reporting is not very robust and needs to be improved."
"In terms of features, I have already raised different change requests on the ReadyAPI side. One of the largest functions I've requested is the validation of the payload for the REST APIs."
"Sometimes, if I changed something in ReadyAPI, it would not quickly pick up the change. It used to give me the same error repeatedly, and when I closed the application completely and restarted it, it would pick up that change."
"ReadyAPI's customer support isn't that great, particularly their response time."
"I would like to see a better dashboard for monitoring in the next release of this solution."
"It doesn't have connectors to the NoSQL database. This is one of the things where they do not have a very solid strategy today. Other solutions have an in-built mechanism where I can directly and easily connect. An API is more around a user submitting a request on the frontend. It then hits the backend, puts the data, and responds back. If I am hitting MongoDB or NoSQL databases, I do not have ready-made inbuilt solutions in ReadyAPI that can easily help me in automating it faster. In our organization, we deal with NoSQL databases, and therefore, we need Groovy. We just cannot have a connector from ReadyAPI to do that. I have to write Groovy scripts. If you have themes that are predominantly using MongoDB, it leads to more maintenance and support activity because we are introducing more code into our commission. In terms of additional features, it can have cloud support. This is one of the things where we are getting into cloud support. We'll see how it works, but it is one of the doubts that we still have."
"Many users will consider this solution expensive compared to the layout. It is more expensive than other solutions."
"The performance in some cases needs improvement. Sometimes it requires too many resources."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen."
"It can be quite expensive."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
