Action words streamline test case management and boost integration with project tools

The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios. Moreover, CucumberStudio's support for code integrations and API calls is excellent. The platform provides the benefit of unlimited read-only accounts, enabling various roles like engineers and product managers to review test cases and results. The structure of CucumberStudio is also commendable, as it supports BDD style Gherkin syntax, which is useful for our test management processes.

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

"The solution is stable."

"The power of Hiptest is its test cases and campaign management."

"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."

"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."

"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."

"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."

"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."

"Hiptest allowed us to clean up our test campaigns and standardize the way we write test cases and structure our BDD approach."

More CucumberStudio pros

"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."

"Customer Service: Best I have ever seen. Technical Support: Best I have ever seen."

"It is easy to automate tasks, highly flexible, straightforward to learn, and easy to maintain."

"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."

"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."

"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable - even when releases in the tested software are subjected to deep code changes."

"You can push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data."

"We did a full-blown POC, it was super successful and we were able to automate a large number of our scripts and save a lot of time and also automate a lot of our testing."

Cons

"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."

"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."

"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"I would like to see better customer support."

"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."

"The reporting needs to be improved."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

More CucumberStudio cons

"The technical support services are generally good, though there are areas for improvement regarding response time and overall competence."

"It may be different for other companies, but for us, establishing a set of procedures to get people trained was important."

"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."

"When using it with iOS devices, I cannot start automation directly and must use a remote machine."

"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."

"They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack."

"It can be quite expensive."

"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The price of Tricentis Tosca is approximately Є10,000 for one license. However, it used to be much cheaper, but they changed their license structure. It used to be a structure where if you bought a license you would receive one year of free support and maintenance. Now they only have a yearly license, and that is expensive."

"Tosca is expensive. I don't see small and medium customers going for it. It's always large enterprises that have a big pocket. It is very expensive as compared to the other tools that we have in the market. They should reduce the price by half, and if they do that, they would do better business. From the competition perspective, other solutions are at a pretty similar level. UiPath is also very expensive. One thing that I always wanted was a short-term consumption license. With Tricentis, the biggest challenge is that you have to go for a minimum of one year license, and they also try to sell you a three-year license. It would be good if people can get a three-month or four-month consumption license."

"There is an annual cost for Tricentis."

"It is expensive."

"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."

"Tricentis Tosca is not expensive at all."

"The tool is quite expensive."

"It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
