We performed a comparison between Broadcom Service Virtualization and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."We have had developers produce code later than we wanted to, but we've had some other stuff that was dependent on that. So what we were able to do was virtualize these assets and then go forward with our developer and not have to wait for these additional services to be available."
"Scalability has actually worked well and we are able to bring it to multiple environments."
"Unit testing or early life testing did not have to be stopped or delayed because those services were not available."
"We are able to quickly scale our requests. We have tested across thousands of requests. We have had no problems so far."
"The ability to create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature."
"The innovation is amazing. CA has continued to add to services that it supports, the transports that it supports, and has built all of the enterprise capabilities into the product as well."
"Helps us to remove barriers that we have with dependencies on services that we don't own, or services that don't even exist yet."
"It's got probably the greatest amount of features, in terms of different technologies that you can automate and virtualize, out of any of the solutions out there."
"The reporting is really nice."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot. They keep on continuously improving their tools, wherever we are facing any challenges they are able to provide a solution for it. It is easy to learn, everyone can easily read and understand what is happening with the scripts. Any business user or function tester can use the tool efficiently. This is a complete solution package."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the Salesforce scanning. There are two scanning for Salesforce applications. There is Salesforce scanning and normal application scanning. Object identification has been really useful in Tricentis Tosca."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"One major feature I would like to see is on the user administration part. Right now, anybody can access any of the folders and any of the projects."
"I'd like to see more of the newer technologies included in there, looking mainly from a mobile perspective, possibly, so you can virtualize some of the aspects that we're going to be doing for mobile testing."
"The cost is an area that needs improvement. There are a couple of other tools which provide support for performance testing with the base version itself, but Broadcom needs a separate component to support virtualization for performance testing. This is a costly component."
"The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."
"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"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."
"First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
