User-friendly regression testing that is fast and offers good support
We have not yet explored this area in our testing. We plan to be ready for this phase next year. We are only doing a one or two-minute recording, next year it will be done for a year. Currently, I am the only user in our organization who is working with Basis Testimony. Once we have tested out the entire tool and we are satisfied, we plan to roll-out to the business for 10 to 20 users.

Has transformed testing by reducing scripting effort and enhancing productivity with advanced features
The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic. For example, if a button in an application changes, Tricentis Tosca should be smart enough to detect the change and still execute the script seamlessly. Improvements are needed to ensure it responds dynamically to changes in the application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It takes less time to complete the regression testing."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."
"This tool is very easy to use and I think that anyone can come in, having no experience with it, and within four to six months be comfortable with it."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."
"We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would take us at least two months. By automating these tasks using Tosca, now it takes five to 10 days maximum. Tricentis Tosca is a codeless or scriptless automation tool."
 

Cons

"The GUI and design could be improved."
"The issue is that even though the components are tightly integrated, object identification can be quite slow, sometimes taking five to ten seconds."
"Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It should improve the testing of legacy systems and interfaces."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"I would say the reporting part of the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."
"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."
"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
"Tricentis Tosca is not expensive at all."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."
"The price of the tool is a problem for a lot of Brazilian clients or Latino clients, as it is expensive. Where I work, if one is low price and ten is high price, I rate the tool's price as a ten out of ten."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
"I'm not sure if I'm at liberty to talk about the pricing, but it has some significant costs. For example, you have to pay a license and maintenance fee. Then the rest of the terms are negotiable. We have to consider what we need and what benefit we get from it."
