Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"The low code is the best feature."
"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."
"The most valuable feature of the Xamarin Platform is that both the UI are the same in Android and iOS, in one project and Android and iOS, are applications for developing PCL projects. Additionally, the dashboard is good."
"A single line of code works with android and iOS."
"My favorite feature of Xamarin platform is the Xamarin.Essentials package. I also like the changes seen in Xamarin's upgrade from Xamarin.Forms to .NET MAUI, because in the older Xamarin Platform, Xamarin.Forms gave you multiple libraries of a particular level for a single platform, whereas .NET MAUI comprises a single, organized library that contains everything needed for both Android and iOS."
"The best part while using the Xamarin Platform is a cross-platform application. We could execute iOS and Android while writing a single line of code."
"It is a true native solution, and we can use the cross-platform framework."
"The platform is easy to learn as many tutorials are available on YouTube."
"Recently, Xamarin has added a lot of features such as Effects, Behaviors, Triggers, etc. This has made the UI user-friendly, lively, and attractive."
"It brings about good code sharing strategies, which bring down cost and maintenance efforts."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."
"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."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."
"The android application compilation time needs to be reduced."
"The performance needs improvement, especially the dev tools, and also the ultimate output of the mobile applications."
"The monitoring of the remote devices is not good as it should be extended along. It would be useful if the log is more integrated with the central console. I am not sure it can be accessed but it would be better."
"There are compatibility issues between versions of various Xamarin components."
"We have noticed that there have been stability-based performance issues with this product, which need to be improved."
"The debugging functionality could be improved in Xamarin Platform because sometimes it takes very long to move through the stages of setting up the application build to the final deployment on a mobile app that resides in a physical device."
"The solution does not include Hot Reload which is painful because it causes us to wait quite some time for huge builds."
"We need to think about partnering with IBM because there is a need for a big data partner; someone who has machine learning and can help us connect the app to big data."
