Pros
"It takes less time to complete the regression testing."

More Basis Testimony Pros →

"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup.""It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing.""The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps.""The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find.""The product has many features.""This company offers end-to-end capabilities for test suite creation and execution. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the tagging system. Tags are highly valuable, as they allow you to assign tags to your test cases. When there's an impact in a specific area, you can search for and run all test cases associated with that tag. I find this functionality very useful.""TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool.""The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."

Cons
"The GUI and design could be improved."

More Basis Testimony Cons →

"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git.""SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra.""What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing.""The pricing is the constraint.""The artificial intelligence needs to be improved.""TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services.""The licensing costs are a little bit high and should be reduced.""The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "The product is becoming more and more expensive."
  • "My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."
  • "The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
  • "Buy modules on demand. If you have a four-person team and they will each automate tests only 25% of the time, it's better to buy a floating licence and share the tool during the work day."
  • "TestComplete now have come up with three modules (Web, Desktop & Mobile), so based on the type of product for automation, it is adequate to purchase the required module."
  • "This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
  • "The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
  • "The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandhiya T S., Sr Solutions Engineer at Lexington Soft, relates, “The record and replay aspects of the solution are quite useful for people. With them, you don't have to write any scripts. Basically, you can record your actions and play them back later. The initial setup is also very easy.”

    Sai S R., Staff Test Architect at a tech services company, says, "The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#. It's very easy to put them all under one project and use them."
