Senior engineer at Nagarro

End-to-end regression automation has accelerated delivery and now secures complex test data

I think Tosca can be improved, particularly in AI capabilities because right now Tosca does not have any strong API capabilities. It has some AI features in the newer version, but many organizations have not adopted these due to version-specific problems, as some are still using older versions. From an AI point of view, they can enhance reliability since the world is moving towards AI, and every tool must be integrated. While Tosca has made attempts, I have not used them and they are not widely adopted, so they are stuck in the testing phase in my organization. I would also mention that while I am currently using Tosca Mobile, the loading part and connectivity issues need improvement. They should better integrate AI features that are already present but not widely used across many organizations. Reliability on the AI aspect needs enhancement for practical application. From the perspective of governance and security, I believe Tosca can develop its own LLM or leverage third-party LLMs while maintaining security and risk management regarding client data. Many companies prefer using Tosca due to data security, which is crucial. An in-house LLM could significantly enhance its debugging power and provide helpful solutions upon test case failure.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."

"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 solution is stable."

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

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

"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."

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

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

More CucumberStudio pros

"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot."

"Overall, by next year, we will be looking at a total reduction in testing costs of about $14 million, across the span of three years."

"I am impressed with the product's script test."

"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."

"We have seen an ROI because we are able to automate test scripts much quicker."

"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology."

"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."

"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."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

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

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

"I would like to see better customer support."

"The reporting needs to be improved."

"The reporting aspect can be improved."

"More tutorials and examples."

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

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

More CucumberStudio cons

"With the license stability, we have had a lot of issues. There were many interruptions to the connection and it took two-three weeks and we installed the license ourselves."

"We faced some hardships in implementing the solution because of integration."

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

"I personally feel like the pricing is a little bit on the high end."

"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved as well because it's very expensive."

"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades."

"With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants. The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement. I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release."

"I feel that the Tosca tool should be improved for handling Siebel applications. Tosca doesn't handle Siebel applications as well as it handles other platform applications."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It is expensive. There is also the training cost, but it does speed up the process. So, you get a return on investment."

"The price of the tool is a problem for a lot of Brazilian clients or Latino clients, as it is expensive. Where I work, if one is low price and ten is high price, I rate the tool's price as a ten out of ten."

"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."

"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."
