Easy to set up with good documentation and easy management of testing cycles

The solution allows for a complete test cycle. The management of testing cycles are easy. We have good control over test cases. We can capture functional testing very easily. We're actually able to accelerate testing now and have end-to-end cycles for testing. We didn't used to have these capabilities. It's easy to automate and accelerate testing. The product offers very good cross-browser testing capabilities. We can do continuous testing and regression testing.

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

"Scripting is the most valuable. We are able to record and then go in and modify the script that it creates. It has a lot of generative scripts."

"Using this DLL functionality we were able to automate our product."

"It's easy to automate and accelerate testing."

"The statistics that are available are very good."

"Not many performance Testing tool provides end to end response times for scripts running on the page, this tool is capable of providing end to end real time browser response times."

"The major thing it has helped with is to reduce the workload on testing activities."

"It speeds up testing efforts."

"The ability to develop scripts in Visual Studio, Visual Studio integration, is the most valuable feature."

More OpenText Silk Test pros

"Overall, I rate Tricentis Tosca as a ten out of ten."

"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution; it has mobile automation."

"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."

"Testcase design is most valuable, as it has helped in two different aspects, storing the test data in one place, and deciding how many test cases are needed for a given scenario using one of the inbuilt algorithms, thereby ensuring the test coverage."

"We did a full-blown POC, it was super successful and we were able to automate a large number of our scripts and save a lot of time and also automate a lot of our testing."

"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."

"This is a complete Test Automation solution of our Enterprise Legacy system, which has many technical peripherals."

"Tosca Continuous Integration allows you to test as soon as the code is deployed into the lower environment, giving the organization an edge by providing fast feedback in today’s fast-paced agile environment."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"Everything is very manual. It's up to us to find out exactly what the issues are."

"GUI interface could be simpler for non-developers."

"Could be more user-friendly on the installation and configuration side."

"They should extend some of the functions that are a bit clunky and improve the integration."

"We moved to Ranorex because the solution did not easily scale, and we could not find good and short term third-party help. We needed to have a bigger pool of third-party contractors that we could draw on for specific implementations. Silk didn't have that, and we found what we needed for Ranorex here in the Houston area. It would be good if there is more community support. I don't know if Silk runs a user conference once a year and how they set up partners. We need to be able to talk to somebody more than just on the phone. It really comes right down to that. The generated automated script was highly dependent upon screen position and other keys that were not as robust as we wanted. We found the automated script generated by Ranorex and the other key information about a specific data point to be more robust. It handled the transition better when we moved from computer to computer and from one size of the application to the other size. When we restarted Silk, we typically had to recalibrate screen elements within the script. Ranorex also has some of these same issues, but when we restart, it typically is faster, which is important."

"The browser based testing needs to be improved."

"I've seen a lot of potential users upset with the SilkTest due to broken installation."

"The pricing could be improved."

More OpenText Silk Test cons

"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."

"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."

"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."

"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 did not improve because the GUI was not static, so it was not possible to write tests for a GUI that was in progress."

"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."

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

"The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and while I think that the price is quite reasonable I am not allowed to share those details."

"We paid annually. There is a purchase cost, and then there is an ongoing maintenance fee."

"I am satisfied with the cost."

"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."

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

"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."

"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 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."

"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."

"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."
