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

"I like how the modules are set up, particularly how you can use the screens you're automating. This automation helps save both time and money because we use less test capacity regarding personnel."

"Tricentis Tosca can be easily integrated with SAP infrastructure."

"The amazing features provided by Tricentis takes automation to a different world and it's fun working with it."

"The scriptless automation tool is one of the important features."

"Testsuite accomplishes what a lot of different tools did before."

"Tosca is a low-code no-code automation tool, allowing direct automation and reusability of test cases."

"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful."

"It makes testing easy, specially when we need to test lengthy Oracle R12 End to End flows."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

"It has 90% of the basic features you need without having to pay a lot of extra money."

"If anyone is looking for a good, lightweight, flexible and agile test management product, I think they would do very well with Zephyr Enterprise."

"Zephyr really improves the testing of the product on many levels - planning, test case creation, automation goals, test reporting, and verification of the testing."

"At this moment, it is fulfilling our requirements."

"If anyone is looking for a good, lightweight, flexible and agile test management product, I think they would do very well with Zephyr Enterprise."

"It has a very intuitive user experience."

"We use the solution for test case management."

"It has a very intuitive user experience."

More Zephyr Enterprise pros

Cons

"The product's test case management functionality needs enhancement."

"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."

"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."

"The issue is that even though the components are tightly integrated, object identification can be quite slow, sometimes taking five to ten seconds."

"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."

"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."

"We faced some hardships in implementing the solution because of integration."

"10.3 was not stable enough for my expectations."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

"The reporting, and the ability to reorganize the test repository, which are a little stifling. There is definitely room for improvement there."

"Security needs improvement to protect customer information better."

"The reporting, and the ability to reorganize the test repository, which are a little stifling. There is definitely room for improvement there."

"Additionally, they could improve the daily reporting. It does generate reports, but they are screen based reports."

"We have a lot of automation for our products, and we require a utility for its integration with automation. Currently, we have to write this utility ourselves. It would be great if they can provide such a utility."

"The only thing I have missed is an easy way to configure showing the latest execution results of all test cases linked in JIRA (story/epic), thus, receiving the state of a feature."

"We faced some errors while uploading the test cases."

"It's difficult to export the test cases in Zephyr, especially with screenshots or attachments, making sharing test cases not very easy."

More Zephyr Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are probably more expensive than other comparable tools, but you also get the full suite of testing tools."

"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."

"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."

"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."

"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."

"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."

"A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros."

More Tricentis Tosca pricing and cost advice

"It costs a couple of thousand dollars for a little more than 125 users, per month."

"DFS is more expensive than Zephyr. DFS is around $32 per person, whereas Zephyr is $10 per person. There is a major difference in the price, which is the main reason why we are trying to shift to Zephyr."
