We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing. The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers. The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools. The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps. The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find.

Communicating with them is very simple. We also have a lot of online resources to check and to study and to train our team with. The documentation is very clear and readily available. |
Cons | |
The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation. The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS. The artificial intelligence needs to be improved. What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing. Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work. Stability issues occurred only when connecting to the SourceSafe. Sometimes, after getting the latest version, the tool hangs and it should be reopened in order to recover. Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage. | The database administration could be better; you should be able to choose new tools with the development environment in Visual Studio. It could be easier to use. The data flow can be improved. Enhancing the support for web application testing and load performance would be an improvement. The service right now is far too expensive. You need to pay per user. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team. The license price for a physical machine is cheap, and for virtual machine, it is very expensive. Our ROI is about $10,000 a year. 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. | For the cloud services option, you buy a subscription per account or per user. This costs around $52 a month per person. |
