Shared change lists are helpful, but poor scalability leads to problems with instability
The biggest problems with this solution have to do with scale. If the load is high then your request is put on hold for a second, and then you have to handle it. If you make a lot of requests then it is your problem. It would be very helpful if a queue was implemented to handle, for example, 100 requests at the same time. Any additional request would be put on hold and made to wait for a few seconds. Once the network and infrastructure are loaded to handle the next request, it would proceed.

Used for integration automation, user-based automation, and web automation
The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts. The solution has introduced a new feature that helps us identify objects we cannot normally identify. It gives you a fair idea of objects, resolving the object recognition issue. The solution can be used to perform different tests on different machines.

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 the option to pull changes from others or make local changes in your own change list."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"TestComplete is extremely efficient when it comes to scripting."
"With TestComplete, I can discover bugs faster and easier than testing manually."
"Valuable for us is the ability to identify objects by using Find methods."
"My advice to others is: If you're looking for speed, configuration consistency, and accuracy of tests with fantastic results, go get TestComplete."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"I like the cross browser compatibility, as it saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
 

Cons

"It would be very helpful if a queue was implemented to handle, for example, 100 requests at the same time."
"Generally, we can say that we have not had an excellent experience with Perforce."
"Stability issues occurred only when connecting to the SourceSafe. Sometimes, after getting the latest version, the tool hangs and it should be reopened in order to recover."
"Some of the objects/parent objects are dynamically created in the web page. During the test, TestComplete will have problem to identify these kind of objects."
"Implementation of screen recording during testing (video recording)."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"In scenarios where two of our engineers work on the same task, merging codes is a bit difficult."
"LoadComplete could be a little more user-friendly, but is still better than LoginVSI."
"The integration tools could be better."
"I pay for support and maintenance; having used the “support” functions through online forums, I can say there is room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It comes with a high cost."
"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."
"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."
"It is approximately $6,000 a year."
"TestComplete now have come up with three modules (Web, Desktop & Mobile), so based on the type of product for automation, it is adequate to purchase the required module."
"Buy modules on demand. If you have a four-person team and they will each automate tests only 25% of the time, it's better to buy a floating licence and share the tool during the work day."
