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

"Integration with automation frameworks, keywords, and tags allows for saving time writing test cases and implementing automation."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."
"Hiptest allowed us to clean up our test campaigns and standardize the way we write test cases and structure our BDD approach."
"The solution is stable."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"The low code is the best feature, and clients like it."
"The solution can be deployed in DevOps and ERP environments like Oracle Fusion. It accelerates testing with the libraries. The product incorporates libraries and is more sensitive to the scans."
"It's been very helpful to have connectivity with mobile. The tool also identifies some of the actual changes from the recordings on the actual testing suite. That is something that I really like."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"Tosca can give us the UI plus the backend mainframe and API testing within one tool."
"Licenses are expensive, but they are worth using."
"One feature we like is the live connectivity of the product, in other words, you can push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data."
 

Cons

"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."
"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"Copy-pasting something directly from JIRA requires too much modification and formatting."
"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"The product is not very stable when used with cloud storage. It is very hard to load the screen, making it difficult to use the tool in cloud storage."
"10.3 was not stable enough for my expectations."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"Because of expensive licenses, if your company is new to the market, do not start a business using Tosca if you expect slow growth - use cheaper solutions instead, and switch to Tosca once you are overwhelmed with projects and work."
"At the time I was using the product, the reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"The disadvantage is that it is very expensive."
"Exploratory testing engine needs improved element recognition (at lease in JAVA Swing)"
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing could be better."
"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."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."
"​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
"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."
"The tool is expensive. It has become overpriced, especially after Tricentis Tosca grew as a company. Initially, we bought a license with an annual support fee, which wasn't too expensive. However, they changed the model, and now we have to purchase a license yearly, which has become quite costly."
"There are two licenses: single user and multiple user. A multiple-user license means that several people can work together on one project and collaborate on code stored in a central location. A single-user license is for people working alone on a one particular application. It's much cheaper than a multi-user workspace. If you are getting a large volume of licenses for an enterprise, you can probably negotiate a discount, but I'm not sure about that."
"The pricing and licensing of Tricentis Tosca were alright. Many customers look for end-to-end enterprise solutions, there were not many challenges with the pricing. However, the customers who are coming from Selenium or similar, feel they're paying a premium for this Tricentis Tosca license. If the right person is there for the implementation of the Tricentis Tosca, then it is one of the best tools in the market."
