"The product has many features."
"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. The are other features that SmartBear TestComplete has but the competition widely has them as well."
"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
"It works very fine. It is fast on almost any machine, and it is also very well organized. I like its object mapping and its capability to find and interact with almost everything that exists on Windows."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"It's stable and reliable."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"To me, what stands out the most about Tricentis Tosca is that even if I'm not a technical tester, I could pick up on how to use it very quickly because of the mechanisms of the tool, for example, its scanning mechanism. I'm not so technical, but I'm able to maneuver through Tricentis Tosca and derive capability. It's a user-friendly tool. It's not very complex."
"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."
"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"The solution is expensive."
"They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
