Pros
"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product.""If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest.""The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest.""The solution is scalable.""Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally.""Every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used.""Parasoft SOAtest has improved the quality of our automated web services, which can be easily implemented through service chaining and service virtualization.""Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports."

More Parasoft SOAtest Pros →

"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface.""Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me.""The performance and load testing are very good.""The way it identifies elements is good.""Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."

More Telerik Test Studio Pros →

"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions.""I face no challenges or stability issues.""With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests.""Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time.""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.""The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features.""Tosca BI is important to make sure that our data integrity is in check and validated; to make sure our data is good. Our data is the number-one important driver for our company, so if that's not good, we have some big problems.""I am impressed with the product's script test."

More Tricentis Tosca Pros →

Cons
"From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly.""The performance could be a bit better.""Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved.""UI testing should be more in-depth.""Reporting facilities can be better.""Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements.""The summary reports could be improved.""Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."

More Parasoft SOAtest Cons →

"It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously.""The charts need to be more detailed and customizable.""There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test.""I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding.""Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy."

More Telerik Test Studio Cons →

"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there.""The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows.""One thing to improve in Tricentis Tosca is that it's not compatible with Excel based forms. Another area for improvement is that the tool is not compatible with OpenText applications. The support and licensing cost for it also need improvement. The tool also needs cloud support, as it's currently on-premises only.""I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high.""The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking.""Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it. After that, they tried a new approach with key-tracing, and that didn't work.""The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve.""The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."

    Overview

    Parasoft SOAtest delivers fully integrated API and web service testing capabilities that automate end-to-end functional API testing. Streamline automated testing with advanced codeless test creation for applications with multiple interfaces (REST & SOAP APIs, microservices, databases, and more).

    SOAtest reduces the risk of security breaches and performance outages by transforming functional testing artifacts into security and load equivalents. Such reuse, along with continuous monitoring of APIs for change, allows faster and more efficient testing.

    Telerik Test Studio is an innovative and easy-to-use automated web, WPF and load testing solution. Test Studio tests support essential technologies like ASP.NET AJAX, Silverlight, PHP and MVC. Test Studio functional testing is a comprehensive yet cost-effective automated testing suite. Users can complete tasks quickly and easily with the product's point-and-click interface, which is augmented by Telerik-exclusive features like a visual storyboard and 3D element selection. Test Studio also offers script-less test automation for Silverlight applications. Test Studio load tests allow users to capture quickly capture, multiply and replay complex web traffic. Record HTTP traffic from desktop browsers, mobile devices and web services, and replay traffic with hundreds or thousands of virtual users spread across multiple machines. Fine-tune your load scenario with data binding, user authentication, and dynamic targets. Test Studio Mobile is an intuitive and easy to use test automation solution for Mobile application testing. Create tests once and test across multiple devices and OS's. The point and click functionality allows users to capture quickly and replay complex mobile testing functionality. There is no need to write a single line of code. Test against any number of real devices as you wish or through an emulator by connecting through Wifi. Test Studio for APIs helps customers verify the integrity and reliability of their APIs in an easy way and incorporate their API testing effort in their continuous testing and delivery process. Test Studio for APIs is used to determine whether APIs return the correct response for a broad range of commonly accepted requests, react properly to edge cases such as failures and unexpected inputs, as well as deliver the responses in an acceptable amount of time.
