Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful.""The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."

More CucumberStudio Pros →

"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.""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.""We like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs. Due to this, the solution has a broad range of applications.""This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily.""This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated.""The low code is the best feature.""Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people.""Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."

More Tricentis Tosca Pros →

"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.""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.""AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."

Cons
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio.""The reporting needs to be improved."

More CucumberStudio Cons →

"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides.""I would like a better user interface.""The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess.""They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports.""It needs better integration with JIRA.""The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve.""I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step.""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."

More Tricentis Tosca Cons →

"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface.""The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps.""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."
