We performed a comparison between Selenium HQ, SmartBear TestComplete, and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, SeleniumHQ and others in Regression Testing Tools."We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"There are many useful features in Selenium that I like, and of the new features I particularly enjoy the Selenium Grid. With this, we can run many test cases in one go, and in one suite we can extract multiple results."
"What I like about Selenium HQ is that we wrote it ourselves. I think it's perfect. It's a framework that you can use to devise your own products, which is nice."
"Ability to integrate with every other tool."
"It supports most of the actions that a user would do on a website."
"For me, the most valuable feature of Selenium lies in its ability to help us find elements quickly. Apart from that, the driver interface is really useful, too. When we implement the Selenium driver interface, we can easily navigate through all of the pages and sections of an app, including performing things like clicking, putting through SendKeys, scrolling down, tagging, and all the other actions we need to test for in an application."
"It is programming language agnostic, you can write tests in most currently used languages."
"Has a good Workday application that enables us to handle some of the custom controls."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"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 solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"One drawback to Selenium is that there is nothing like an object repository, such as that found in QTP, especially considering continuous integration practices that have become common nowadays."
"The installation could be simplified, it is a bit difficult to install."
"It would be better to have a simplified way to locate and identify web elements."
"Could have additional readability and abstraction."
"It takes such a long time to use this solution that it may be worth looking into other free solutions such as TestProject or Katalon Studio, or paid solutions to replace it."
"The stop control needs to be improved with a configuration tool to enable desktop support."
"They should leverage the tools for supporting Windows apps."
"I would like to see some reporting or test management tools."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options. For example, if a grid is used and it contains multiple controls within it, it can be a checkbox, radio button, or any kind of control, the way the Object Spy is operating currently there is a lot of room for improvement."
"The integration tools could be better."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"The licensing costs are a little bit high and should be reduced."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"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."
"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
"With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants. The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement. I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
