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

"Such anticipation, preparation and workarounds are the way to ‘Doing it right, with TestComplete’."
"This tool is very easy to use and very powerful."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"The integration with various tools is important."
"After TestComplete, we have been able to reduce that time to less than one week."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"Possibility of the automated testing, installing plugins and extensions, data-driven testing and debugger."
"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool. It covers all necessary items in the test plan. The most painful item in testing is maintenance. When changes occur, the tests should be maintained."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"There often are issues with web test execution."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"When it comes to customization controls the scalability of SmartBear TestComplete is limited."
"Technical Support: Not so helpful most of the times. They always fail to produce a work around."
"The recording function, when using Python, could be improved, as it does not work well in recording testing."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a TestComplete 12 license."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"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."
"Overall, for us, the cost of the TestComplete platform and the three extra modules is around $8,000."
"It is approximately $6,000 a year."
"It comes with a high cost."
"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."
