In terms of scalability, that's a challenge in Tricentis Tosca. Scaling the solution is quite difficult because it uses only Windows environments, so it's not a good solution for scaling up. Right now, we rely on Windows, but we are moving to the cloud, so scaling Tricentis Tosca would be difficult for us.

The way we are going about it, it is a scalable model. We are looking at reusability. We are trying to put some kind of governance model in place, where we will have people going back to review and analyze how things are being used. We are trying to come up with an assessment framework for Tosca. 

We have some areas that have Ruby. When we go to an area that already has something implemented in Ruby, we have an automation assessment framework from a Ruby perspective, where we ask our Ruby experts to assess their framework. If the assessment comes out that their framework is pretty solid, stable, maintainable, and they have the skillset, we leave it alone. If the assessment comes out that it is not maintainable, people are not using it, it's not providing the value, we recommend using Tosca. In the same way that we have an automation-assessment for Ruby, we are trying to work on some kind of assessment framework for Tosca. If someone has been using Tosca for two years, we want to be able to go in, assess their framework and say, "Hey, here are the things you have been doing that are great. But you don't have any modules that you're reusing. Why is that?" We are working on implementing something like that, which help us with the reusability and maintainability perspective

With every release they are adding great features. This year, we have taken two upgrades and they have added patches for some defects, like the one that caused the problem with the PDFs. We have 12 or 13 incidents that are open, which include three customization requests, that Tricentis is working on with us. But with their every release, they have added features, not just closed defects, but actually added features, which is great. The challenge is that, in a big company like ours, we cannot afford to take every feature release, every upgrade. That creates a lot of work and a lot of testing, because we need to test everything. Tricentis has been able to give us their roadmap and, at this point, we are planning to take on 13.1 which will be around January/February, 2020.

They do a lot of good releases. It's just that at our scale, the way we are operating — we have 200 licenses and I'm pretty sure we'll need more — we cannot afford to take every upgrade.

We still have other applications that we have not finished in terms of setting them up with Tosca. This is going to go through 2020. Then we will be looking at ways of having people go back to the areas where it has been implemented to see how things are going and what was not implemented. When we are deploying Tosca, we are not doing it for all applications. A particular business solution or department might have 50 applications out of which ten might be critical. We have only put Tosca in place for one or two of those, but we put the right structure in place for them to be able to extend it to the other applications. We intend to go back and see if they have been able to extend or if they need help in increasing the automation presence. We do expect to see an increase in automation usage and coverage, moving forward.

We have a team of 250 people on the solution right now. We have five active licenses on five servers. We have mostly testers on the product. 

It is a scalable solution and a powerful tool. I'd rate scalability eight out of ten. 

We likely will increase usage in the future.

Principal Test Automation Consultant at SSI Software Services GmbH

The solution is scalable. It is a strong solution for executing test cases concurrently across multiple browsers and devices. It efficiently handles test case execution in parallel, making it faster for hundreds of test cases. It may require a powerful machine with ample processing power and RAM to maintain optimal speed and performance for executing millions of test cases.

Five users are using this solution. We have concurrent licenses.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

The solution can scale quite well. We have 16 groups using it. I don't know how many individuals are on it, however, it's likely there are five people per team. We usually don't go by user when we're counting.

We do plan to increase usage in the future. We use it quite extensively already. We may be moving some legacy tools over to it.

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

In terms of scalability, one of the things I do is challenge people to prove that it doesn't work. It has yet to be proven to me that it doesn't work with something. We've always found a way to be able to do test automation with it.

We have developers and BAs using the tool. We have 16 delivery teams and there are an average of seven people on each team. We require two people for maintenance of the solution. They are test automation engineers. If you're talking about maintaining test cases, everybody on the delivery team is involved. It's in their goals to maintain their test cases for what they deliver, and that includes developers and BAs.

Every day, Tosca is being used more and more. Part of our digital transformation is that we keep growing the tool base and what the test cases are.

Aditya Chakradhar Nanduri - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr Test Automation Architect at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

Tricentis Tosca, it is very scalable. We are using it for end-to-end automation where we are working on completely different types of applications across different technologies. Tricentis Tosca supports more than 160 technologies as of  2018. It supports the majority of the applications generally available outside. You can directly start automating those applications and tools. It is can be easily scaled. We can execute test cases and we are able to automate very well. We are receiving more than 90 percent of coverage with the out-of-the-box Tricentis Tosca.

We have more than 100 users who are utilizing this particular tool. We worked with customers where there are more than 200 licenses, which have started using it. There are different types of licenses and the users are different. We started using this tool for various projects in our application where there are data developers and automation testers. The client started utilizing those test cases for execution.

Tricentis Tosca is the leading solution in the market. They have some competition, such as Selenium and Worksoft Certify. However, I do not find Selenium to be much of a competitor to Tricentis Tosca. Tricentis are investors in Selenium. The Tricentis team's main focus is not on their test applications but focuses on end-to-end automation. It is trying to convey itself as a complete package of test automation where it can perform functional testing automation from a single tool. We see Tricentis Tosca as a complete package solution.

Lead QA Engineer at a computer software company with 11-50 employees

Scaling up Tricentis Tosca would be an issue for us because of the licensing. As it's an extremely expensive product and we're a smaller organization, we don't need that many licenses, but sometimes it would be great if we could have two licenses because there are other people in the company who were trained and certified to use Tricentis Tosca. The product does provide a multi-user workspace, but we only have one license currently, so only one execution is possible at a time.

KG
Senior QA Manager at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

From a scalability standpoint, if you are needing the data from Excel and Excel has lots of records, it may be difficult. I want to try for more records, basically between 5,000 and 10,000 rows reading from Excel. That is a bit of a tedious process. Right now, it doesn't seem very scalable if you want to read the data directly from Excel or any other file.

In Excel, you have to create the tables, rows, columns every time. Then, you have to read from Excel. You have to create a similar table structure in Tosca. It's a tedious process.

We have eight to ten automation engineers using the solution right now.

We do plan to increase usage in the future.

Before, we also used Tosca for manual testing. We had, I think, 400 to 800 main users — not at the same time — but we had a lot of users then. If you know the size of your repository, then it's easy to size the server accordingly. Also, when you know your requirements, you should make sure that the infrastructure meets the requirements, then it's easier.
