Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."I like that it is a robust and free open source. There is a lot of community support available, and there are a lot of developers using them. There's good community support."
"You can build your own framework. I think that's the most powerful feature. You can connect with a lot of other tools that use frameworks, or keywords, etc. That helps make it a stronger solution."
"The most valuable feature of Selenium HQ is it provides support for third-party tools, such as screenshots, and automates Windows-based applications."
"Our platform runs into several thousand screens and a few thousand test cases, something which would typically take months to test manually. As of today, the entire process takes a little over two days to run."
"The most valuable aspect of Selenium is that it gives you the flexibility to customize or write your own code, your own features, etc. It's not restricted by licensing."
"The tool is easy to use and log in with respect to other tools. It is open-source. We can customize the product. I also like its security."
"It's easy for new people to get trained on this solution. If we are hiring new people, the resource pool in the market in test automation is largely around Selenium."
"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"You can utilize this tool on the cloud, and also access application on-premises. That is a very good part of the solution."
"Their technical support is awesome."
"The most valuable feature is the support for Java, where we can quickly code what we need."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"The reporting is really nice."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"The stop control needs to be improved with a configuration tool to enable desktop support."
"I don't have that much experience with it, but I know that Selenium is more used for websites. It is not for testing desktop applications, which is a downside of it. It can support desktop applications more."
"We can only use Selenium HQ for desktop applications which would be helpful. We are only able to do online based applications."
"Could have additional readability and abstraction."
"The drawback is the solution is not easy to learn."
"It is not easy to make IE plus Selenium work good as other browsers. Firefox and Chrome are the best ones to work with Selenium."
"Selenium HQ can improve the authorization login using OTP, it is not able to be done in this solution."
"There is no good tool to find the Xpath. They should provide a good tool to find Xpath for dynamic elements and integrate API (REST/ SOAP) testing support."
"The solution is quite immature, it is not in an optimal state."
"The performance of the tool needs to improve."
"We used an implementation strategy to deploy the solution, not because of the tools, but mainly because of the scripting part of the tool."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"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."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
