Rodrigo Candido Costa

Software Quality and Automation Specialist at PRIME CONTROL

The solution saves us money because the cost of each license is 10 times lower than what we would spend to maintain infrastructure here

Sometimes, when the automated tests sync up or we have to debug remotely, we cannot interact directly with the device. We can interact with the code in the debugging tool, but we cannot directly click on the element on the screen or send other kinds of inputs to the device. This is possible with other tools. Also, it would be nice if there were some kind of API to get a list of available devices. Currently, we have to look at the web interface to see the available devices, but the pipelines can't do it on their own there. We always need to do this manually, so it would be better if this feature was automated.

AKSHAYRATHI

Senior engineer at Nagarro

End-to-end regression automation has accelerated delivery and now secures complex test data

I think Tosca can be improved, particularly in AI capabilities because right now Tosca does not have any strong API capabilities. It has some AI features in the newer version, but many organizations have not adopted these due to version-specific problems, as some are still using older versions. From an AI point of view, they can enhance reliability since the world is moving towards AI, and every tool must be integrated. While Tosca has made attempts, I have not used them and they are not widely adopted, so they are stuck in the testing phase in my organization. I would also mention that while I am currently using Tosca Mobile, the loading part and connectivity issues need improvement. They should better integrate AI features that are already present but not widely used across many organizations. Reliability on the AI aspect needs enhancement for practical application. From the perspective of governance and security, I believe Tosca can develop its own LLM or leverage third-party LLMs while maintaining security and risk management regarding client data. Many companies prefer using Tosca due to data security, which is crucial. An in-house LLM could significantly enhance its debugging power and provide helpful solutions upon test case failure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When the scripts are stable, Perfecto is awesome."

"The quality of our software has improved since we implemented this solution."

"Perfecto has affected our software quality in a good way. It has allowed us to execute on-demand and on-choice. We also track the number of issues that we find in the product. Every single day, we tag the issues that we found. For example, if something was found by automation, that means it was found by a Perfecto execution. Over time, we realized the real value in tracking those numbers. We can see now that we have clearly been finding issues earlier. It has allowed us to catch our defects earlier, thus improving the quality of our applications."

"I also like the reporting functions. We are constantly downloading these reports and sharing them with our final customers. They help us understand what kind of bugs are happening through the applications. The recording feature is handy because it lets us see a video of the process we run through the pipeline and discover the point at which the automation is breaking."

"The Perfecto device lab has allowed us to run tests on multiple devices at the same time and across multiple platforms as well, increasing the efficiency of our testing and saving money, time, and effort while enabling comprehensive testing and high app quality that we otherwise wouldn't be able to achieve."

"Perfecto has affected our software quality in a good way; it has allowed us to catch our defects earlier, thus improving the quality of our applications."

"Performance-wise, Perfecto has been awesome."

"It has saved hours of manual testing time, costs and efforts."

More Perfecto pros

"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful."

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

"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 most valuable feature is the UI-based interface for building modules and turning modules into test cases."

"I like how the modules are set up, particularly how you can use the screens you're automating. This automation helps save both time and money because we use less test capacity regarding personnel."

"It offers many features, such as risk-based testing and scenario creation using Kafka."

"Improves the software quality in production by finding more defects with automated test sets, before transporting developments to production."

"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."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"The monitoring features, in particular network traffic monitoring, could be improved."

"Going by the dashboard or analytics capabilities that Perfecto or Perforce is looking to offer in its roadmap, it will certainly help if they also cater to executing and enabling decision-making, rather than just focusing on standard testing metrics such as execution, efficiency, and defect rate. These are good metrics, but they don't necessarily enable decision-making for SLTs. Any improvements in the dashboards and reporting tools should focus on metrics or SLAs that can help with decision-making."

"I would like to see the inclusion of machine learning features. If we can have that, it will be a better tool."

"I'm hoping they can support on-premises instances. We have been working on a JIRA integration with Perfecto—and I'm extremely impressed that they have that—but at this time they're not supporting onsite JIRA instances, which is what we have."

"It would be ideal if there was a complete integration with other test management tools and other applications like HPLM, Micro Focus, or Microsoft Azure."

"When using devices on the cloud, it lags quite a bit at times. I know that these are real devices that are being projected on our laptop screens and monitors, but if the speed could be improved, that would be good."

"In iOS, it needs improvements with some limitations."

"It is slow compared to physical device testing. The interactive speed could be improved."

More Perfecto cons

"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."

"The record and play is still a new feature and while SAP has been added to the latest version, it is still lacking usefulness for common repository setups."

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

"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."

"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."

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

"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."

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

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is an area where Perfecto can do a little better. When we obtain additional licenses, we enter into negotiations with them."

"Perfecto has definitely saved us on the costs and efforts of having to maintain our own virtual test environment. We lost about 20 devices in the past to maintenance and audit. That was a massive loss for us, as a company, because we were giving devices to someone, but don't know whether we would get it back or not. Having those virtual labs, we don't need to worry about these kinds of things. We are easily saving $5,000 to $10,000 a month on device costing."

"I am not sure about its pricing, but from our perspective, licensing has been easy. Anytime I have new users or requests for users that want to get added, it's a very simple process. I just give the architectural owner of the product the name and email address, and they're able to easily add a new user. We don't have any issues in regards to getting licenses, but I don't have any insights into pricing."

"Although Perfecto is a good product for us to use, it is a bit expensive. It takes management a bit of work to find the appropriate funding for us to keep Perfecto. I imagine there could be some way to make it more accessible."

"Pricing-wise, it is fine. It is not as expensive as what we used to have in the past from HP, IBM, and others. It is decently priced."

"Perfecto's price is excellent compared to other products with similar features. It was the lowest of the three we evaluated. We also established a partnership with Perfecto, so they provide discounts when we sell Perfecto projects and licenses to our customers."

"This is an expensive solution compared to others, by 30% to 40%."

"It's definitely on the higher end of prices for this type of service."

More Perfecto pricing and cost advice

"It is expensive. There is also the training cost, but it does speed up the process. So, you get a return on investment."

"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a ten. The licensing model is based on a yearly basis."

"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."

"A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros."

"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."

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

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