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.

Sr Test Lead at Emerson
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

"The overall product is awesome for device fragmentation, but not for automation."
"Ability to use different frameworks."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"The feature that I like the most is that you can use different frameworks, whether it's APM or something else, and you don't need to worry about the framework."
"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."
"TestComplete is a good product compared to other options that are on the market."
"Technical support is excellent, and if you reach out to them, they will get back to you within 24 hours."
"TestComplete is much more flexible, light, and easy to use."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"The Object Spy has surpassed any other "spy" tools I have ever used."
"TestComplete is a great product."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
 

Cons

"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."
"Some stages of its automation is not working correctly and I need to make changes in the code created by Testdroid."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."
"The web testing framework of TestComplete is not very helpful for an Automation Engineer; it requires the same effort as Selenium, and in most cases, Selenium proves to be a better testing tool for web-based testing."
"I pay for support and maintenance; having used the “support” functions through online forums, I can say there is room for improvement."
"The level of technical support leaves a lot to be desired."
"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."
"It is approximately $6,000 a year."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."
"Overall, for us, the cost of the TestComplete platform and the three extra modules is around $8,000."
"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
