Find out what your peers are saying about Atlassian, Microsoft, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"This company offers end-to-end capabilities for test suite creation and execution. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the tagging system. Tags are highly valuable, as they allow you to assign tags to your test cases. When there's an impact in a specific area, you can search for and run all test cases associated with that tag. I find this functionality very useful."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"TestComplete has strong reporting capabilities. The reports they generate are really good."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different tracking tools."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"In scenarios where two of our engineers work on the same task, merging codes is a bit difficult."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"Stability issues occurred only when connecting to the SourceSafe. Sometimes, after getting the latest version, the tool hangs and it should be reopened in order to recover."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"At times, identifying or locating an element can be somewhat challenging. However, in a recent test update, they introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. This introduction has reduced the challenges to some extent, as we can now utilize OCR if the normal method doesn't work. Nevertheless, there is still significant potential for improvement in TestComplete's ability to identify various object elements. I don't have any specific concerns to mention. I have observed significant improvements in TestComplete over the past few years, especially in its support for highly dynamic object elements used in products like Salesforce Dynamics 365. In earlier versions, there were numerous challenges, but the current version is far superior to its predecessors."
