Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."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."
"We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot. They keep on continuously improving their tools, wherever we are facing any challenges they are able to provide a solution for it. It is easy to learn, everyone can easily read and understand what is happening with the scripts. Any business user or function tester can use the tool efficiently. This is a complete solution package."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful."
"The stability has always been very good."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a very scalable solution."
"The tool has highly detailed debugging features."
"What I like most about Visual Studio Test Professional is the way people publish templates and publish integration."
"The most valuable feature has been to store all our packages in one place including SSIS packages, SQL tables, TFS and SSR."
"The most valuable feature is the in-built support for C# and .NET projects."
"Visual Studio Test Pro is super helpful for my Microsoft app work."
"The initial setup is easy. It's easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"Setup wasn't that straightforward; it was more complex. It all depends on the environment, because there were a lot of errors on our applications. Therefore, it wasn't an easy setup for us."
"Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve. The reporting section could be better and some of the new features could be simplified. Additionally, the user management of the client and the server are confusing. There should not be two."
"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."
"I would appreciate some enhancements in the interface, maybe adding more color options."
"The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution."
"Visual Studio Test Professional could improve by having better integration with external databases."
"The integration with Git needs improving because it is a bit disjointed and unpredictable."
"The performance could be faster."
"The product must provide more automation."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a little pricey."
"The tool crashes and has high memory consumption."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
