More Galen Framework Pros →

"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting.""The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander.""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.""The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca.""The use of automation is most valuable.""This tool is very easy to use and I think that anyone can come in, having no experience with it, and within four to six months be comfortable with it.""Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira.""The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."

More Tricentis Tosca Pros →

Cons
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved.""Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."

More Bitbar Cons →

"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."

More Galen Framework Cons →

"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation.""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.""There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases.""The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking.""Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely.""The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations.""While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly.""Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."

    Layout testing seemed always a complex task. Galen Framework offers a simple solution: test location of objects relatively to each other on page. Using a special syntax and comprehensive rules you can describe any layout you can imagine.

    Galen Framework runs well in Selenium Grid. You can set up your tests to run in a cloud like Sauce Labs or BrowserStack so that you can even test your responsive websites on different mobile devices. Galen can run multiple tests in parallel which is also a nice time saver.

    Galen Framework is designed with responsivness in mind. It is easy to set up a test for different browser sizes. Galen just opens a browser, resizes it to a defined size and then tests the page according to specifications.
