Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."Selenium integration."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"You can record your actions and play them back later."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"The product has many features."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"The most valuable features are test executor and development."
"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"The test object repository needs to be improved. The hierarchy and the way we identify the objects in different applications, irrespective of technology, needs adjustments. The located and test objects are not as flexible compared to other commercial tools."
"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"TestLeft captures a lot of space in terms of memory, which is one issue that can be improved."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows."
"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."
"It can be quite expensive."
