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 product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"SmartBear TestComplete performs some self-healing and has a feature called OCR (optical character recognition)."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"The most valuable feature of SmartBear TestComplete for me is the image comparison functionality; it quickly detects any changes in the UI."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"The learning curve of the solution's user interface is a little high for new users."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"Occasionally, image comparison results in failures, possibly due to issues with resolution or font size on the server side, which can be challenging to identify."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is too high."
"We have a TestComplete 12 license."
"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"The license price for a physical machine is cheap, and for virtual machine, it is very expensive."
"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."
"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."
"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."
