We performed a comparison between SmartBear TestComplete, Tricentis Tosca, and Worksoft Certify based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"TestComplete fits almost perfectly with a large amount of stacks, such as Delphi, C#, Java and web 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."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"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."
"If we write a new test that's 80 percent the same as an existing test, it is pretty straightforward to reuse the steps from existing tests for our new tests and build upon them."
"We found that Worksoft is easier to use because our business experts can do the tests. We didn't have to have IT experts."
"One of the bigger value-adds that we had was extracting data from our warning systems to be inputted into our new learning system."
"The most valuable features of Worksoft Certify are the way we can maintain the processes and sub-processes inside. We can immediately identify and replicate multiple objects in the application without having a major issue with it. We are able to do a lot of operations even with the solution being completely scriptless. That is a large advantage compared with other automation tools."
"We love the Capture 2.0 feature. It seems to work very well."
"It is a huge improvement, as it recognizes complex general applications, where most tools won't recognize the objects within them."
"Automation using Worksoft Certify has saved our testing times by 40% to 50%."
"The tool itself is highly effective, especially when it comes to comprehensibility for newcomers."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"The integration tools could be better."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"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."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"At times, identifying or locating an element can be somewhat challenging. However, in a recent test update, they introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. This introduction has reduced the challenges to some extent, as we can now utilize OCR if the normal method doesn't work. Nevertheless, there is still significant potential for improvement in TestComplete's ability to identify various object elements. I don't have any specific concerns to mention. I have observed significant improvements in TestComplete over the past few years, especially in its support for highly dynamic object elements used in products like Salesforce Dynamics 365. In earlier versions, there were numerous challenges, but the current version is far superior to its predecessors."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better."
"I would like Worksoft Certify to do automation at any layer (the UI layer, API layer, or database layer) and challenge competitors in the RPA industry, like UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"Our interactions with technical support has not been the best always and there is room for improvement especially with respect to the time taken to respond to cases. However, with the right contacts and reasonable escalations we have always managed to get quick attention on our cases."
"In the past, when we've tried to automate some of our web apps, it has not been as robust. If there were one thing that could be improved, it's interaction with web applications. The issue we were running into is that it was harder to identify the objects than it is with some of the other architectured applications."
"Web UI testing was difficult in the beginning, as we had a homegrown product, and we had to do the proper object naming."
"With one of our applications where we do check-in, Worksoft is not able to identify the Java-based application. We raised the ticket, but we were unable to resolve this using Worksoft."
"I would like to see the impact analysis integrated with the performance testing tool. We have multiple tools doing multiple items. I would like to have one common tool."
"The technical support comes on, and says, "Oh, so-and-so link is here, go through that link, and make the modifications." I'm not comfortable in making those changes. I want to schedule a call, share my screen, and have them fix it for me."
"For Execution Manager, I would like it to be more robust interface and be able to view the remote machines full screen instead of a little window."
