Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Test Automation Tools."The custom capabilities that can be provided to Sauce Labs VMs during automated testing sessions are a valuable option for experimental or niche testing."
"As stated earlier we use Sauce Labs for a combination of automated testing and manual testing. Therefore the most useful features are the ability to run the functional automated tests via a Sauce Labs tunnels which allows access to applications in our internal network. The second most useful feature is the manual side."
"They update for the latest browsers and mobile phones and support a lot of combinations. They have 1,000-plus desktop combinations and browser versions, which is really great. We need that at Applause. The all-in-one testing suite aspect of it is really important because most of our clients prefer to go to one place."
"They offer a large number of devices and browser/operating system combinations for real device tests"
"There is a huge amount of open source, community provided resources."
"It offers the single best solution for integrating deep automated browser testing in a CI/CD pipeline."
"Sauce Connect gave us ability to test an application that was hosted locally."
"Easy to integrate with the other platform for tracking purposes."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"It works very fine. It is fast on almost any machine, and it is also very well organized. I like its object mapping and its capability to find and interact with almost everything that exists on Windows."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"Progress towards reducing application testing time can be made."
"The pricing model of Sauce Labs could be more flexible. Sauce Labs has just one price for the type of solution and a set number of devices. Other solutions have a fee for the base solution and an additional cost per device. If you're a smaller organization, you have to consider your needs. Some smaller companies still need to test various devices, so my advice is to start small and scale up as needed. We had initially planned to start big, but that would have been a big waste."
"Sauce Labs needs to be improved in the different platforms for farm testing, like iOS and Android farm testing and farm testing web browsers."
"An image comparison would be a nice feature to include in the Sauce Labs product."
"The testing process is difficult. I need to prove the complete competency of the tool, and I am finding that challenging."
"Integration with Github, as well as several other similar tools, could be improved."
"We have faced challenges with the availability of mobile devices. There was once or twice where there were no mobile devices available."
"On a rare occasion, I will come into a ticket where a customer will have reached out to me after reaching out to Sauce Labs, saying, "Sauce Labs doesn't understand what I am going through. They are not being very helpful." So, I try to do clean up there. Outside of those extremely rare occasions, I have only had one or two of those support issues."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"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)."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"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 solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"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."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"It can be quite expensive."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
