"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"You can record your actions and play them back later."
"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"Selenium integration."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"TestComplete fits almost perfectly with a large amount of stacks, such as Delphi, C#, Java and web applications."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"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."
"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."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"The low code is the best feature."
"To me, what stands out the most about Tricentis Tosca is that even if I'm not a technical tester, I could pick up on how to use it very quickly because of the mechanisms of the tool, for example, its scanning mechanism. I'm not so technical, but I'm able to maneuver through Tricentis Tosca and derive capability. It's a user-friendly tool. It's not very complex."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"The test object repository needs to be improved. The hierarchy and the way we identify the objects in different applications, irrespective of technology, needs adjustments. The located and test objects are not as flexible compared to other commercial tools."
"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)."
"The integration tools could be better."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product is not very stable when used with cloud storage. It is very hard to load the screen, making it difficult to use the tool in cloud storage."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"I would like a better user interface."
"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."
