We performed a comparison between IBM Rational Test Workbench and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Postman, Tricentis, Apache and others in API Testing Tools."Reporting is pretty good. Its interface is also good. I'm overall pretty happy with the functionality and use of IBM Rational Test Workbench."
"This solution provides for API testing, functional UI testing, performance testing, and service virtualization."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"We like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs. Due to this, the solution has a broad range of applications."
"The reporting is really nice."
"Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel."
"It should have more interfaces. In terms of interfaces or protocols, what you can do with Rational is far limited as compared to other products out there. What it does, it does great, but it only gives you limited types of protocols. It supports between 8 to 15 types of protocols, whereas other test tools give you 20 to 30 types of protocols with which you can do testing and convert to script. It records Javascript-based scripts, and you got to know a little bit of Java to basically be able to edit them, but the level of editing you got to do is very low. I like that, but the ability to edit the script is not as good as Parasoft or LoadRunner, which have C-Script."
"There are a number of things that they can do to simplify the tools, but the most important thing that they need to do is simplify the installation."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants. The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement. I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"It can be quite expensive."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
