Featured Reviews

Prakhar Goel - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr Test Lead at Emerson
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 database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"This has allowed us to make significant product changes, new server deployments, and hosting changes with high confidence."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"TestComplete replaced QTP as the preferred choice of tool for the organization; it is much faster, works better across technologies (especially Flex-based UI), and is better compatible with newer technologies directly out of the box."
"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"We were able to run tests on daily promotions of software so all software was tested every night, making any bugs instantly visible the next morning."
"It's very helpful that, when you have a recording in one application, in one navigator, you can replay every step in different applications."
"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"In scenarios where two of our engineers work on the same task, merging codes is a bit difficult."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"Sometimes the app crashes during test execution based on the amount of code that is running."
"It is very difficult to have multiple developers when using Name Mapping. You can’t merge all the files and this creates conflicts."
"It seems to crash once every two to three months."
"There is a problem with usability because the speed decreases, which could be an issue with scalability because of too many hits on the site."
"One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete."
"Unfortunately, TestExecute does not enable us to select the Tests that has to be executed."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
"My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."
"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"The solution's licensing cost has increased because it has moved to some new SLM-based licenses."
"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."
"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
