Very good performance and load testing capabilities
There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test. When we use the solution instead of Microsoft Edge, more scripting is required. The reports for structure point or test management could be more compatible with other tools. For example, when I create an application I sometimes cannot generate a report.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface."
"Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me."
"The way it identifies elements is good."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface."
"Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."
"The performance and load testing are very good."
"The object repository is the most valuable feature, as different elements can be identified and reutilized through the repository across other scripts, and the product has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."
"The automation testing functionality is very powerful."
"The advantage of using Tricentis Tosca is that we can get started with automation without much investment on solution development, with it following a keyword-driven approach."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"The product is very useful in keeping track of test execution and coverage."
"The low code is the best feature."
 

Cons

"There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test."
"It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously."
"The charts need to be more detailed and customizable."
"The first time I customized the solution, it was quite challenging."
"I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding."
"Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy."
"We have not seen a return on investment yet."
"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."
"The only thing I am not happy about is not so much the product, but it's that we don’t a good way to control licenses."
"The connection between the CI client and remote machine dropped off when certain standard Tosca modules were used in the test cases."
"Scaling can be tedious."
"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues."
"Setup wasn't that straightforward; it was more complex. It all depends on the environment, because there were a lot of errors on our applications."
"I think the new version is not so stable, and that’s what's stopping us from moving over to it."
"The support from Tricentis Tosca needs to be improved. I have not been happy with their support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair so I rate it an eight out of ten."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"There are two licenses: single user and multiple user. A multiple-user license means that several people can work together on one project and collaborate on code stored in a central location. A single-user license is for people working alone on a one particular application. It's much cheaper than a multi-user workspace. If you are getting a large volume of licenses for an enterprise, you can probably negotiate a discount, but I'm not sure about that."
"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."
"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
"It is expensive. There is also the training cost, but it does speed up the process. So, you get a return on investment."
"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."
"The tool is expensive. It has become overpriced, especially after Tricentis Tosca grew as a company. Initially, we bought a license with an annual support fee, which wasn't too expensive. However, they changed the model, and now we have to purchase a license yearly, which has become quite costly."
