We performed a comparison between Galen Framework, Selenium HQ, and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."What I like most about Galen Framework are its advantages, particularly its spec language and the spec file feature."
"The most valuable features are ExpectedConditions, actions, assertions, verifications, flexible rates, and third-party integrations."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to catch content from website."
"Has a good Workday application that enables us to handle some of the custom controls."
"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 most valuable features are the ability to test and debug."
"The grids, as well as the selectors, are the most valuable features."
"Selenium HQ's most valuable feature is its online community support, which is comprehensive and easy to access."
"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."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"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."
"The low code is the best feature."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"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."
"There don't seem to be functions available for automatically generating Galen values based on the specifications in the spec file, and this could be a potential improvement for Galen Framework."
"It would be very great if Selenium would provide some framework examples so newcomers could get started more quickly."
"Selenium HQ doesn't have any self-healing capabilities."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"If they can integrate more recording features, like UFT, it would be helpful for automation, but it's not necessary. They can also add a few more reporting features for advanced reporting."
"Selenium is good when the team is really technical because Selenium does less built-in methods. If it came with more built-in and pre-built methods it would be even easier for less technical people to work with it. That's where I think the improvement can be."
"It does require a programming skill set. I would like the product not to require a heavy programming skill set and be more user-friendly for someone without a programming background."
"The solution can be improved by providing better reporting logs."
"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."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"It can be quite expensive."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"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."
"Might have a learning curve, as it does not follow the traditional Record-Play functionality, but tests have to be built from requirements or Agile story cards."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
