Tricentis Tosca Previous Solutions

We used Selenium before Tricentis Tosca. We chose the product because of its time-saving and ease-of-use features. It also helps us to be more productive.

I previously used Micro Focus UFT Developer. However, back then, there were significant differences between Micro Focus UFT and Tricentis Tosca.

In terms of model-based, scriptless automation, Tosca is the first of its kind in our organization. We have been using Ruby Cucumber and Selenium, but they are all solutions where development and coding skills are needed. This is our first model/scriptless tool.

We have an automation solution which was primarily Ruby Cucumber, but Ruby requires development skills. We had not been able to penetrate it into all the places we wanted it to be used. We have a lot of legacy and mainframe applications and there was a lot of downward testing still going on. On the digital applications and the go-forward applications, we have a good footprint from a Ruby perspective and test automation. But in all these legacy applications and some of the older technology applications, we had manual testing going on.

We had a big goal as a company. We had done some benchmarking studies and what came out from them was that we are pretty good from a quality perspective when compared to our peers, but we are very expensive. So we were charged with a couple of things: to bring down the expense and increase speed, while maintaining the quality if not improving the quality. That's what led us on the path to Tricentis Tosca.

When using Ruby, there are more hands-on coding development skills. Tosca is something that needs a technical mindset or aptitude, but even our manual testers were able to make the shift from manual testing to automation using Tosca. That was a big driver: How do we move from manual testing to more automation and how do we not impact the big workforce that we had in manual testing? We did not want to have to let go of all manual testers, and we didn't have enough skills from a Ruby perspective. With this effort, we have been successfully able to convert around 80 percent of our manual testers to automators, using Tosca.

There are areas in our company which have Ruby, some of the digital areas, where it works. So we are letting those areas stay with Ruby.

I did use another solution and used a combination of Tosca and UFT. That was five years ago, and the Tosca technology was a bit different. We were not able to scan the system attributes, for example, using Tosca back then. I introduced another automation tool to open it and run the script and then get back to the original script. It was like a work-around and, at the time, it was successful.

If you use other solutions, such as Selenium or UFT, but we had issues in identifying objects. We did not have the same issue with Tricentis Tosca.

We used Micro Focus UFT and SmartBear. UFT requires a framework each time, and SmartBear requires coding. Both of these solutions had limitations with regard to our enterprise-level technology stack, and therefore, we decided to go with Tricentis Tosca.

I have used many other solutions, such as Selenium and Worksoft Certify.

We used to use WorkSoft Certify as a solution, then we moved to Tricentis Tosca recently. The reason we switched was the slowness of the automation scripts and some of the areas, such as a drag and drop issue we had where we cannot drag and drop in WorkSoft Certify. We were able to do this with other automation tools. Our teams started switching to Tricentis Tosca rapidly because the exhibition time is a lot faster and more efficient compared to other automation tools. They can directly jump into automation.

Another major reason why the customers are switching to Tricentis Tosca is that the customer can read and understand what is happening in the script, which is not the case with other automation tools, such as Selenium. You need a developer or automation tester to explain what is happening in the script, and you need to provide some comments or explanations. Whatever automation was done in Tricentis Tosca, the customer themselves can read and understand what is happening in the script. This was a good selling point.

We used IBM Rational or Functional Tester and it was just outdated and we needed to go down the toolset. We also wanted something that we use as a data model.

RB
Global QA Manager at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees

We used Selenium before Tosca. One of the reasons we decided to look at other tools was that, with Selenium, the maintenance of the scripts started becoming higher. The more and more that test cases were built, the higher the maintenance cost was and we started seeing a diminishing return as a result. 

Also, you really can't do database testing, for the most part. There are ways around that limitation, but it just doesn't work very well with Selenium. 

From a reporting standpoint, you really can't produce robust reports like you can within Tosca. 

Finally, the infrastructure with Selenium is a little bit more challenging and there's really no built-in test management with Selenium as well.

We did use different solutions. We moved to Tosca because:

  • It offers a complete automation solution for all of our applications streams.
  • Other technologies were unsupported and fell short on our requirements

We are also in process of moving to Tosca for other functions.

We didn't use a previous solution, but I've personally worked with other tools. Testsuite is versatile, and that was the big thing about choosing it. We're using Power Builder, which Testsuite can support, along with other applications. So it's great having one tool instead of many.

I have previously used Selenium in the company I used to work for and it was perfect. The solution was very good at testing web applications, but not Windows, or desktop applications. Tricentis Tosca does not have customized reporting tools ready but Selenium you can build and customize whatever you want.
