Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."The number of protocols that it supports, and especially, for example, when it talks about SAP GUI-based performance testing."
"I appreciate its ability to handle various internal calls and its user-friendly interface."
"When designing a workload model offers a good range of possibilities for creating goal-oriented scenarios, which helps us understand and meet SLAs."
"Very useful for finding out how the system responds to load, stress, and normal situations, as well as benchmarking with other industry competitors. It also improved our response time, memory delegation, and CPU delegation. In addition, we used LoadRunner to optimize our database and website."
"LoadRunner is a very sophisticated tool, and I can use many languages. For example, I can use Java. I can use C++. I can test the Internet of Things, FTP, mail, and Active Directory. It is very useful."
"I like the user interface. I like the way we can divide our scenarios and can tune them. The integration with the quality center is great. These features are really good."
"It is actually a very good tool because it will support almost all, if not all, industry-standard protocols, and it is also equipped with very nice reporting capabilities, which is why I like it."
"It is an advanced tool with multiple options available for the performance system."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"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."
"We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would take us at least two months. By automating these tasks using Tosca, now it takes five to 10 days maximum. Tricentis Tosca is a codeless or scriptless 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."
"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."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"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."
"I would like to see better-licensing costs."
"The initial start-up of Micro Focus LoadRunner could be improved. When we add 20 or 30 scripts, the refresh is completed one by one. I would like to be able to select all the script at one time, so it can be completed in a single click, reducing the time required."
"The solution uses a lot of memory and then it dies. It's difficult to work with the solution sometimes when you run a scenario it dies. They need to make the solution lighter somehow."
"The product is pretty heavy and should be more lightweight."
"If they can make LoadRunner more comprehensive, it would really help."
"Licensing costs could be reduced."
"There's a reporting part of the cloud that could be improved a little bit."
"The product is not stable and reliable in the version we are currently using."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"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."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack."
