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."The recording and playback functionality is helpful."
"The most valuable features are the ability to capture the entire traffic of particular pages and the proper readability of entire pages and entire APIs."
"When there's a high number of TPS I can achieve more transactions per seconds given the hyper-limitations."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to launch many requests and scheduling simulating human interactions with the application."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"The solution is free. You don't need to worry about licensing costs."
"The solution offers a lot of plug-ins and a huge continuously developing community that is regularly offering new features and plug-ins."
"It is an open-source tool that is easy to use. It can be easily integrated with multiple tools, including Selenium."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people."
"This tool is very easy to use and I think that anyone can come in, having no experience with it, and within four to six months be comfortable with it."
"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."
"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"Its reporting could be improved. There should be a better visual representation. That would be helpful for easy consumption of the reports."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"JMeter is lagging when it comes to GUI performance testing because we need to install some third-party plugins for recording the GUI script, and the performance isn't very reliable."
"Apache JMeter could use improvement in reporting. Currently, it isn't easy to generate reports in PDF format. While receiving reports in PDF format is possible, it requires a lot of customization. Additionally, when comparing the load test to others solutions it could improve."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"The solution could use some sort of educational features to offer tips and hints to help users navigate it better. They should improve the manuals and help files."
"The solution needs to improve reporting. Currently, there is not enough automation involved with the feature. For example, there should be an automatic way of saving reports."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"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."
"I would like a better user interface."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
