Knowledgeable support, scalable, and stable
We use CrossBrowserTesting for testing our web-based applications We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve. I have used CrossBrowserTesting within the past 12 months. CrossBrowserTesting is stable. I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable.…
PrabhuKrishnamoorthy - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable."
"The extensive range of products available to simulate is something I have come to appreciate as it has resulted in an ability to broaden the scope of our tests."
"I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems."
"The ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues."
"The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."
"It has increased the speed of our regression testing."
"This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices."
"I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues."
"It is easy to automate tasks, highly flexible, straightforward to learn, and easy to maintain."
"The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people."
"The scriptless automation tool is one of the important features."
"Tosca is a low-code no-code automation tool, allowing direct automation and reusability of test cases."
 

Cons

"A wider range of physical devices with more browser versions in the Selenium Grid would be great to insure users with out-of-date devices are able to interact with our sites."
"Sometimes the testing is slow."
"This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."
"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."
"The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."
"The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain."
"There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve. The reporting section could be better and some of the new features could be simplified. Additionally, the user management of the client and the server are confusing. There should not be two."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"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 to see better integration with other testing tools."
"We faced some hardships in implementing the solution because of integration."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The lowest price point is very reasonable. It is also useful if only one person in the company needs to check on the browser display."
"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"In terms of the licensing costs for Tricentis Tosca, we are spending more or less $70,000 per year. We have a very complex mechanism because there are some business users and some BI users, so the licensing structure is not simple, but support is included."
"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."
"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."
"​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
"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."
"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."
