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 most valuable feature is the user interface because it provides a clear space for the URL, headers, body, prerequisites, and tests."
"The developers put the API in a common workspace which is a nice feature. It makes things much easier and faster to start testing."
"The solution has a great user interface and collection of features."
"Postman lets you create, manage, and validate a suite of tests. It has several features to help you organize your test suite. You can also automate stuff with a lot of validations and assertions. Postman supports GraphQL, and you can do various kinds of calls."
"We are using the automation and performance testing tools."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and user-friendly."
"It is simple, easy to use and a good tool."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily."
"Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel."
"Could be more user friendly."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"I was not even aware that it was possible to automate tasks in Postman...Some features related to the automation of tasks need to be added to the solution."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
"The request encryption could be one thing on which they can work a little bit. If we don't want to expose our production data but we still want to test our APIs on the production data, there should be a way to do that. It is not only with Postman. I think no tool in the market is doing that right now."
"Postman does not have a check-in balance. Essentially what I mean by that is if there is something that is already configured on a particular device, it just overrides it without checking whether you really want to override it or not."
"The tool needs to have a reporting feature."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"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."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
