Room For Improvement

Users want clearer documentation, faster processing, better reports, improved integrations, more device coverage, accurate logging, and responsive support.
Tricentis Tosca struggles with upgrades, high costs, mobile testing difficulties, and requires improvements in AI, UI, and reporting.
The self-healing process should automatically handle any changes in web applications; for instance, if properties change inside the application, the tool should automatically take care of it, unlike other tools such as Mabl and TestComplete that have better self-healing capabilities.
Technical Architect at MOURI Tech
The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work.
Test Automation Specialist at Accenture
Moving to a cloud-based application rather than a desktop one could improve Tosca.

Setup Cost

Enterprise users find Sauce Labs pricing flexible but costly, recommending starting small and scaling to manage costs effectively.
Tricentis Tosca's pricing is high, appealing to large enterprises with flexible licensing, though costly for smaller companies.
The pricing for Tricentis Tosca is extremely high, and I rate it as ten in terms of expense.
Senior Director at Ascendion
A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros.
Test Automation Specialist at Accenture
For enterprise customers, the cost is manageable because it provides solutions for multiple applications they want to automate.

Valuable Features

Sauce Labs offers cross-browser compatibility, video recording, and parallel test execution for scalable testing across multiple platforms and devices.
Tricentis Tosca offers model-based automation, scriptless testing, drag-and-drop functionality, and AI optimization, enhancing ease of use and integration.
It allows for drag-and-drop functionality and demo automation in SAP-based applications, which can be challenging with other automation tools.
Sr Test Automation Architect at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
The features I find most valuable in Tricentis Tosca are that it's the easiest way to build the scripts and to do the CI/CD process; using Tricentis Tosca is very useful and easy.
Technical Architect at MOURI Tech
The modular approach reduces scripting effort by at least fifty percent, which significantly cuts down on the script development time.

Provides multiple test environments and saves time, but should have something for inspecting mobile apps screens
With the desktop browser, we can inspect any screen with the web developer option, but they should provide something for mobiles so that we can quickly inspect elements on the device. To write the Selenium scripts, we require web locators. We have to capture them from the local and execute the script on Sauce Labs. If Sauce Labs can provide a solution where we can inspect any of the mobile devices online, it will be very helpful for us. I also faced an issue where during the execution time, the iCloud password used to expire within a certain period, which used to create pop-ups on the screen making our tests fail. That was one thing that we faced many times. If that can be improved, it will be very helpful.

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.
