Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 18, 2024

Tricentis Tosca and Oracle Application Testing Suite (OATS) compete in the software testing automation category. Based on feature richness and flexibility, Tricentis Tosca appears more versatile, while OATS excels in integration with Oracle products.

Features: Tricentis Tosca offers scriptless automation suitable for non-technical users, a modular structure for easy test case maintenance, and robust integration with a variety of technologies and BI tools. Oracle Application Testing Suite integrates seamlessly with Oracle products, supports Oracle ERP testing, and offers OpenScript for recording and playback as well as performance testing through Oracle Load Testing.

Room for Improvement: Tricentis Tosca faces challenges with upgrades affecting add-ins and has limitations in object recognition in some web applications. Users also note a lack of strong versioning capabilities and complex test case functionalities. Oracle Application Testing Suite users report long recording flows and suggest better browser and desktop application integration, along with enhanced reporting features.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Tricentis Tosca provides hybrid, on-premises, and public cloud deployment options, yet customer support response time and availability could be improved. Oracle Application Testing Suite primarily offers on-premises and hybrid cloud deployments, with generally better customer service and faster response times, according to user feedback.

Pricing and ROI: Tricentis Tosca's higher price point and multiple licensing options deliver significant value but may be costly for smaller enterprises. Oracle Application Testing Suite is more cost-effective for Oracle users, with competitive pricing. Both products show strong ROI in reducing manual testing, but OATS is preferable for budget-conscious users.

Rishabh-Sharma

Senior Engineer at Cignity Technology

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy

Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Has transformed testing by reducing scripting effort and enhancing productivity with advanced features

The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic. For example, if a button in an application changes, Tricentis Tosca should be smart enough to detect the change and still execute the script seamlessly. Improvements are needed to ensure it responds dynamically to changes in the application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like that we don't need a separate management tool. This is a good feature. It also has an inbuilt performance tool which is on Flash. It has very good record and playback feature as well. The inspection tool is also very good. Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."

"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"

"Has good automation and load-testing capabilities."

"The function test feature is valuable."

"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature."

"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."

"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot. They keep on continuously improving their tools, wherever we are facing any challenges they are able to provide a solution for it. It is easy to learn, everyone can easily read and understand what is happening with the scripts. Any business user or function tester can use the tool efficiently. This is a complete solution package."

"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."

"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."

"It is easy to automate tasks, highly flexible, straightforward to learn, and easy to maintain."

Cons

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."

"I would like to see better dashboards."

"To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing."

"I have faced issues with some indexing items."

"Licensing policies could be more intuitive."

"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."

"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."

"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."

"I would like to see something in terms of AI capabilities."

"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint."

"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."

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

"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."

"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."

"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."

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

"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."

"The licensing cost for Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It has multiple features, but to use all of its features, you have to pay for additional licenses."

"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."

"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."

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