We performed a comparison between Postman and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is simple."
"Good at simulating the API code from a fictitious client application to check API behavior."
"The variables part is good. We can easily define the variables and we don't have to manually do a change every time, it gets automatically updated."
"The tool is simple and easy."
"No coding required."
"Postman lets you create, manage, and validate a suite of tests. It has several features to help you organize your test suite. You can also automate stuff with a lot of validations and assertions. Postman supports GraphQL, and you can do various kinds of calls."
"This solution offers a free version."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"The Model-Based Test Automation is the most valuable feature, where you can create reusable components. Even though we are using a scriptless automation tool, there still needs to be an understanding of how to create reusable components and how to keep refactoring and how to keep regression, the test scripts, at an okay level. We are coupling Tosca with some other risk-based testing tools, as well, but automation is primarily what we're using Tosca for, the scriptless, model-based technology which is driving automation for us."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
"We cannot see transaction times in the product."
"UI testing needs to be added to the solution."
"Integration should be improved with our continuation system because we use Azure DevOps separately."
"If you have knowledge of JavaScript, the initial setup is easy and straightforward. If not, it may take some time to learn about JavaScript before starting the implementation."
"Postman is a bit more of a complex tool, making it an area where improvements can be made."
"Postman needs more advanced data-driven testing."
"Version management could be simplified."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."
"In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
