Reliable test automation, and test data creation with efficient support
The solution can be improved by removing the need for object matching in the framework. The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run. The reason is that changes were made to how it works with the browser and the startup takes some time. Adjusting those changes to speed up the load time will improve the solution.

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

"Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."
"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."
"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."
"Overall, I rate Tricentis Tosca as a ten out of ten."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
 

Cons

"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"Technical support used to be better. It is now a bit difficult to reach out compared to previous experiences."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"The product's test case management functionality needs enhancement."
"In Tricentis Tosca, we need to capture the element each time. If they could implement an auto-heal feature, it would capture automatically by detecting it from the page."
"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is good but the prices for the products are expensive. A single-user license may go for something like $10,000 to $30,000. There are no additional costs, and support is included within that price."
"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."
"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."
"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."
"If you are purchasing less than five licenses, then the pricing is high. On a scale from one to ten, with one being low and ten being high pricing, I would rate this solution at eight."
"They are probably more expensive than other comparable tools, but you also get the full suite of testing tools."
