A testing platform with a good API for apps, but pricing is complicated
I like that the AI Testbot is a near-zero code application for testing. For this use case, the function is good. The services are robust. Game testing and the API for apps are also good. From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied.

Used for integration automation, user-based automation, and web automation
The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts. The solution has introduced a new feature that helps us identify objects we cannot normally identify. It gives you a fair idea of objects, resolving the object recognition issue. The solution can be used to perform different tests on different machines.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ability to use different frameworks."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"SmartBear TestComplete performs some self-healing and has a feature called OCR (optical character recognition)."
"The integration with various tools is important."
"The product has many features."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"This company offers end-to-end capabilities for test suite creation and execution. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the tagging system. Tags are highly valuable, as they allow you to assign tags to your test cases. When there's an impact in a specific area, you can search for and run all test cases associated with that tag. I find this functionality very useful."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
 

Cons

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"In scenarios where two of our engineers work on the same task, merging codes is a bit difficult."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"Stability issues occurred only when connecting to the SourceSafe. Sometimes, after getting the latest version, the tool hangs and it should be reopened in order to recover."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"It comes with a high cost."
"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"We have a TestComplete 12 license."
"Overall, for us, the cost of the TestComplete platform and the three extra modules is around $8,000."
"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."
"TestComplete now have come up with three modules (Web, Desktop & Mobile), so based on the type of product for automation, it is adequate to purchase the required module."
