Is scalable and easy to use, but the monitoring feature needs improvement
The support for Micro Focus Service Virtualization is better than that for other products. The technical support staff are highly skilled. Sometimes, we don't have to open a ticket. We can just go into the community and then talk to them directly. I would rate technical support at seven out of ten.

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 most valuable feature is that it reduces the dependency so that the down time of the environment is not a major cost. That cost can be used for something else like the cloud."
"The feature which is most valuable in this solution is the ease of use; the product is very easy to use and implement, and we can adjust the performance level to simulate the best service, normal services, or bad situations in many possible ways."
"With this solution, you don't have to use your production services for implementing other software uses."
"The most valuable feature is SAP virtualization."
"HPE SV helped me and my ALM team minimize workforce, reduce costs, and transition from hardware to virtualization; my software is more secure preproduction."
"We have a number of end points in the environment that are not terribly reliable, and with Service Virtualization we can replace them with something that is much more stable while gaining commonality, a high level of compliance, and reducing the likelihood of different problems being caused by different issues in multiple test environments."
"I was blown away with how fast the implementation was."
"With Service Virtualization, it's much less expensive and we can turn them off and on when we need to."
"Every second week we release a candidate, and from two weeks of hard manual testing, we are testing now only a few days (four to five), the new fixed tickets and running in parallel the regression."
"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."
"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."
"TOSCA Testsuite is a very good automation tool."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"Customer Service: Best I have ever seen. Technical Support: Best I have ever seen."
"Tosca can work with a wide range of technological solutions; it's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"The primary driver for us is that it puts automation into the hands of non-technical testers."
 

Cons

"More support for different protocols. I would love to see more wizards rather than relying on some custom coding, which you can use C# as well as Visual Basic scripting. In the service virtualization platform, I would love to see more wizard features as well as the ability to connect to an external database, which by the way, we have put an enhancement request in for. I'd love to see that in the service virtualization platform."
"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."
"I am not impressed with the technical support provided by Micro Focus (for an official ticket)."
"Sometimes it stops working after switching remote and local servers."
"Early on though, we saw some stability issues with the design that would occasionally crash."
"As it stands now, the debugging capacity within the tool is fairly limited."
"The stability of the product, it’s still a work in progress."
"The data-driven model is painful at best."
"The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."
"The solution should work to try to lessen the cost of the solution. Right now, using it is costly for companies such as ours."
"The Support TDD and BDD could be improved."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"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."
"The technical support services are generally good, though there are areas for improvement regarding response time and overall competence."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an expensive solution, but you can get discounts. You have to buy one server and one designer together, for example, and it may cost 15 million Thai Baht."
"Micro Service Virtualization is very expensive. The pricing of this product is in line with all of the other big name-brand products."
"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
"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."
"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."
"​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
