Experienced ease in automation with strong support while seeking improvements in low-code options
OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web offers flexibility of deployment, from on-premises to UFT One which is on the cloud. They provide capability for immediate deployment, and assets can be migrated easily. They include enablers specifically for quick migration of test assets. While I have not personally been involved in these migrations, I have observed some clients using it directly while others make a complete shift from OpenText to Tricentis platforms. There have not been many clients moving from OpenText platforms from on-premises to cloud because most shifts have been toward different product categories such as Tricentis altogether.

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 easy to use. There are features to orchestrate mobile testing, including mobile testing automation. You can test different devices at the same time."
"This helped my prior organization immensely due to the ability to remotely manipulate devices, even by offshore vendors."
"The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare."
"The product is easy to use."
"There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps."
"This is a solution that's easy to use and it also gives us the possibility to use real devices connected either on the Mobile Center server or on our own computers and it works with both iOS and Android devices."
"They've all been really satisfied with the scalability of the HPE products."
"We evaluated other mobile testing solutions and found this to be superior to all of them."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate, no coding skills are required to automate, and it is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"From the commercial tool perspective, Tosca is a leader in every aspect."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"Improves the software quality in production by finding more defects with automated test sets, before transporting developments to production."
 

Cons

"We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it."
"I think the biggest issues that I've seen, and this is a personal view of mine, is that most of the HPE products have a common look and feel to them."
"The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing."
"I don't think the product as it is right now is going to sell itself, but it's really what are the next steps."
"We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it."
"I think the interface is not very good and I have used other solutions that are easier to learn."
"I would like to see more integration with automation tools."
"Because of connection errors, we've haven't yet been able to set it up properly at my company."
"It can be quite expensive."
"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"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."
"Scaling can be tedious."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product could be more affordable."
"While the pricing may seem relatively high, when compared to competitors, it often falls in line or can even be more cost-effective."
"OpenText UFT Digital Lab's pricing is average, and I rate it a five out of ten."
"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."
"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."
"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."
"Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."
"The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."
"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."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
"It is expensive."
