Before SmartBear TestComplete, my company was using Selenium. My company switched from Selenium to SmartBear TestComplete since we were looking for an automation tool.

I'm also familiar with Tosca. I chose to use this solution.

Tosca is for a mid-company or a large company tool. Tosca was way too advanced a tool for the kind of testing I wanted to do. I did my POC for Eggplant and Katalon.

For our budget, this was the best option.

We used TestPlant eggPlant and are still using it for thick clients where objects are not available. The development speed for TestComplete is faster and more reliable when objects can be seen.

I am an expert on the following:

• Selenium RC and Servers/Java - but this has multiple limitations
• IBM Rational Functional Tester - it's expensive, and not as powerful as TestComplete
• AppPerfect - is not in competition with any of the above, it’s pathetic

I had used a browser tool.

We did not have a previous solution.

When I started at this company, they were using TestComplete.

I routinely use SmartBear, UFT, and SilkTest. I fit the application used to whatever my client requires.

I did not previously use a different solution. 

The company does, however, also use IBM tools. 

We've been using Selenium with Java and it's too hard to manage the framework because everyone's changing it because they're running it locally and then they'll put it off the grid, but locally, they're building on the machine. I incorporated a Docker and I containerized the test framework so that now, new employees can go and just install the container but then there's still that engineering mindset. They want to go out and play, so it's just hard to manage. With TestComplete it's all encapsulated in one.

I used to use HPE QTP but TestComplete has the same features, low price, and support for handling a lot of stacks. In addition, I don't need to use hundreds of plugins.

No. We did a POC on multiple tools and TestComplete was our first selection

TestComplete was added to the toolset. HP UFT is used for automated tests for other products.

TestComplete is the first tool that I use for automation on UI and I have not used any other tools yet.

Other tools were evaluated which supported Flex/Flash web apps, but we chose TestComplete for its rich feature set as well as Smartbear’s available suite of tools outside of Automated Testing.

We previously used IBM Rational Functional Tester, Segue/Borland/Micro Focus SilkTest, HPE Mercury Quick Test Professional, and IBM Rational Robot.

We switched because of the ability for a non-developer to develop intelligent, robust, data-driven tests.

Typically, I used my own method for automation (scripting tool, test data stored in SQL, results stored in SQL, result comparison to baseline with custom script). At the time I purchased TestComplete, the script recording tool wasn’t that great and I didn’t have the skills to write my own scripts. Over time, I used a different automation program and picked up the syntax for its scripting language. The product is currently called WinAutomation, though it had a different name at the time, that I can’t recall.

This application did not replace a previous automation effort.

We previously used QTP, and later moved to TestComplete as it provided more out of the box support for newer technologies like Flex and AIR.

No previous solution I know of was implemented prior to my employment here. Attempting to implement the same solution in UFT would have been nearly impossible.

I have used other solutions, including ALTA. It has good UI, but I don't know if you are really able to directly compare it to this solution. 

I tried Visual Studio 2010 (Coded UI Tests feature). The tool was changed, because TC is cheaper and more acceptable for those apps testing. But for now, this project doesn't use QA automation and I am working in another project

Nothing previous to TestComplete.

SilkTest was being used previously with my previous employer. It was abandoned because it was hard to script and advanced features were not being added.

There are some unsolved issues working with control drop downs that need to be resolved.

We didn't previously use a different solution.

TestComplete was already in place when I arrived, but I know that they chose it because of the debugger and the fact that TestComplete recognizes more objects than QTP/UFT.

Previously was QTP. TestComplete is much more flexible light,and easy to use.

Used some other products, but this was found to be the most suited for business requirements.

I didn't switch from another solution.

Yes, I had already used it. I changed because I did not have any solutions as close to the real thing as this. Free tools mostly do not resolve the problem.

When we started using this tool, only TestComplete provided the support of the automation for WPF objects.

In last 12 years I also used SilkTest and Squish. They have some benefits which TestComplete doesn't have, but in general TestComplete overcomes them.

We did not use a different solution.

That is my first product of this type.

We switched from HPE QC/ALM. It did not offer automation on the same scale.

Previously, testing was performed manually. TestComplete was a great solution to automate the process.

I used different solution afterwards and I can say there is no other product with such great flexibility.
