Find out what your peers are saying about OpenText, Microsoft, IDERA and others in Test Management Tools."Technical support is very good. I'm very satisfied with the assistance we've received so far."
"It can support both web applications and mobile applications, and in certain cases, it can also support testing of desktop applications or software-based applications. You can write web applications, mobile applications, and software-based applications."
"The integration with Jira and the ability for extra configurations are the most valuable features."
"I use the solution for test management."
"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."
"This is a user friendly solution."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the dashboard."
"I was on the lookout for automation testing on the browser and I believe this tool is very interesting in that matter. The solution is useful for UI testing. You just need to add the URL that is to be checked."
"The product helps us create test cases and reports."
"I use the product to create test cases and share them with my team and manager."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"The low code is the best feature."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"There are some features that Micro Focus LoadRunner provides, but they are not available in IBM Rational Performance Tester. They should include such features. It can also have more reports similar to what HP provides. It might also need some improvement in terms of the tools and support for other technology areas. Certain technologies are not supported by every tool. They need to support all sorts of technologies and platforms on which web applications and mobile applications are built. They need complete support for all sorts of technologies."
"The solution is not easily scalable. If you want to extend the solution, you need to purchase a different kind of license. You also have to work with the IBM team to assist in scaling."
"This solution has room for improvement. For example, some particular projects need to adjust access or add additional members and this isn't always possible. Role-based access would improve this."
"It would be nice to have a description section when creating the test scenario itself so I can indicate what the configuration should be."
"There are a number of improvements that have been requested. While I don't have a list of these requests available, many can be found on Gurock's forum."
"I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira, which haven't been permanently resolved yet."
"With TestRail, the APIs are there, but they may not be able to easily integrate with the Jenkins."
"The TestRail API to integrate reporting of automated tests is complete, but requires many requests to identify the appropriate entry."
"The test suite management has room for improvement as well as better reporting."
"Better prediction of text."
"Setup wasn't that straightforward; it was more complex. It all depends on the environment, because there were a lot of errors on our applications. Therefore, it wasn't an easy setup for us."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
"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."
"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"Primarily I'm dealing with customers looking for a cheap solution, and they are willing to try open-source automation solutions. So from this perspective, the price of Tosca is not as competitive."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
