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

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."

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

"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."

"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."

"The solution is stable."

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."

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

"The features I find most valuable in Tricentis Tosca are that it's the easiest way to build the scripts and to do the CI/CD process; using Tricentis Tosca is very useful and easy."

"Object Identification Wizard."

"I like how the modules are set up, particularly how you can use the screens you're automating. This automation helps save both time and money because we use less test capacity regarding personnel."

"The scriptless automation tool is one of the important features."

"The initial setup isn't too difficult."

"The use of automation is most valuable."

"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."

"This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily."

Cons

"The reporting needs to be improved."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

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

"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."

"I would like to see better customer support."

"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."

"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."

"It can be quite expensive."

"Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It should improve the testing of legacy systems and interfaces."

"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."

"Product quality has declined as it grows, and its updates aren't without fault. The process of resolving problems has slowed, and as it expands into other areas like NeoLoad and other testing tools, the product becomes more complicated. It used to be a small firm with a clear goal, but as it grows, the quality has been affected."

"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."

"Getting support from their support team is very difficult; the overall competence of the support has declined, and it's taking a lot of time to get solutions."

"The issue is that even though the components are tightly integrated, object identification can be quite slow, sometimes taking five to ten seconds."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"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."

"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."

"They are probably more expensive than other comparable tools, but you also get the full suite of testing tools."

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."

"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."

"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."

"We hired a consultant to figure out all the tools in our company and how they fit in our company before we purchased the solution."
