Prakhar Goel - PeerSpot reviewer
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 ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"The integration with various tools is important."
"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."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"The licensing costs are a little bit high and should be reduced."
"The test object repository needs to be improved. The hierarchy and the way we identify the objects in different applications, irrespective of technology, needs adjustments. The located and test objects are not as flexible compared to other commercial tools."
"Headless testing would be a big improvement."
"The recording function, when using Python, could be improved, as it does not work well in recording testing."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is too high."
"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."
"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."
"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
