Performance Tester/QA at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Network Emulation allows for performance testing of geographically-distributed users.
It is a great performance testing tool. The most valuable feature of the tool is its Avatar technology. Scripting is really fast, compared to other tools. It works for almost all major protocols, platforms and browsers. It makes complex scenarios simple, and we need minimal custom coding. It also provides features for Network Emulation, which is quite helpful in testing the performance for geographically-distributed users. Appvance can provide information from end to end (back-end and front-end), which makes it surpass other tools. The tool provides protocol level as well as browser level response time. And it can be integrated with major monitoring tools. As it is a web-based tool, it makes it easy to access anywhere anytime. All the team members can access the common information easily.

Senior Software Engineer 2 at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers
Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a great performance testing tool."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"Tricentis Tosca can be easily integrated with SAP infrastructure."
"This solution allows you to create an entire automated framework where it allows you to easily manage everything in one place."
"The XScan was great because it was a handy way to automate on a surface which made it very easy and simple."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"The most valuable feature is the UI-based interface for building modules and turning modules into test cases."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
 

Cons

"Reporting features can be improved to provide more flexibility, collation, exporting in different formats, etc."
"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint."
"I would like a better user interface."
"So far, all our issues have had to do with our unfamiliarity with the product."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"The disadvantage is that it is very expensive."
"The product needs to improve object identification. The identify with properties and anchor methods work perfectly, while the by-index and image methods may face challenges."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is expensive. There is also the training cost, but it does speed up the process. So, you get a return on investment."
"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."
"There are two licenses: single user and multiple user. A multiple-user license means that several people can work together on one project and collaborate on code stored in a central location. A single-user license is for people working alone on a one particular application. It's much cheaper than a multi-user workspace. If you are getting a large volume of licenses for an enterprise, you can probably negotiate a discount, but I'm not sure about that."
"A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."
