Smart locators and small learning curve streamline test automation, minimizing maintenance and boosting efficiency.
Testim has a specific feature called a smart locator. Anyone experienced in test automation knows this is one of the most complex parts of developing automated scripts. The Testim feature automatically finds the locators, which helps us build stable test scripts. Stable scripts are crucial for receiving faster and more reliable feedback. I have also seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes.

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 feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."
"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."
"The automating smoke and regression tests have become easier and handier and manual efforts are saved."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the recently added AI feature."
"Testim introduces three services covering validation steps, eliminating the necessity to write complex code."
"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."
"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."
"The pre-defined tests are a great help, specifically the custom JS test that allows us to be able to use custom code to test complicated elements or scenarios."
"We have, within the first six months, been able to automate 85% of our critical business processes and we have been able to maintain that while keeping our BCR ratio down, and we have also seen about 234 defects per month in production drop to less than 8."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"From our clients perspective (e.g. large banks, government organisations etc.), it has allowed them to decrease their total execution effort, improve their time to market, and increase their total risk coverage."
"Tests written once can be reused across different projects."
"You can push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"The product is very useful in keeping track of test execution and coverage."
"The scriptless automation tool is one of the important features."
 

Cons

"The accessibility reporting features could be more robust to be reported at the script level and allow users to map down to the step level."
"There is currently no room for improvement that I can identify as of now."
"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."
"There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it."
"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."
"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."
"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"In Tricentis Tosca, we need to capture the element each time. If they could implement an auto-heal feature, it would capture automatically by detecting it from the page."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"I feel that the Tosca tool should be improved for handling Siebel applications. Tosca doesn't handle Siebel applications as well as it handles other platform applications."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"Sometimes new features do not work as shown on slides, in the first release."
"Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It should improve the testing of legacy systems and interfaces."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."
"Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."
"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."
"The price of Tricentis Tosca is approximately Є10,000 for one license. However, it used to be much cheaper, but they changed their license structure. It used to be a structure where if you bought a license you would receive one year of free support and maintenance. Now they only have a yearly license, and that is expensive."
"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
"A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros."
"They are probably more expensive than other comparable tools, but you also get the full suite of testing tools."
"There is an annual cost for Tricentis."
