SmartBear TestComplete Reviews

Ability to test all types of application (desktop, mobile, and web).

In all projects where I participated it helped significantly improve and speed up regression testing, which is usually bottleneck before release.

Since v11 of TestComplete it has all the features I was dreaming about during these years. Probably the only one great thing could be cross-platform testing (Linux, MacOS).

I've been using it since 2006.

No, I have never had any difficulties with TestComplete. All possible issues are also covered in TestComplete's help system and available online.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

It is impressive! What I like the most is the fact that support team helps solving problems not only for their registered customers, but everyone else as well.

In last 12 years I also used SilkTest and Squish. They have some benefits which TestComplete doesn't have, but in general TestComplete overcomes them.

Was it difficult to set up the application first time? No. Or was it difficult to start using it? No, it was easy thanks to its tutorials.

I did everything by myself. There is nothing difficult in it, TestComplete is very user-friendly.

We use TestComplete for automation and functional testing — for support in the CI/CD pipeline. We also use it for cognitive solution application testing.

The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average.

In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical. Overall, The internal customer feedback is above average.

I have used TestComplete for almost one year.

TestComplete is both scalable and stable.

Deploying TestComplete was very easy.

The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower.

Currently, we are not looking at any competition or changing or anything else.

Price-wise, feature-wise, its ability to integrate with other products, and of course, scalability-wise, it's great. I would absolutely recommend TestComplete to others. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give TestComplete a rating of seven.

It allows me to invoking an application and then to browse the application. I've done some good research with TestComplete along with Google Earth.

I was part of a systems architecture team and we were looking into various kinds of automation tools. We found this solution to be the most complete tool.

More APIs could be added.

I used it for six months.

I didn't encounter any stability issues in my short tenure, although I remember invoking the application twice although there is was an instance already open.

I haven't had to use customer service.

I haven't had to use technical support.

Initial setup was easy, but implementation was a little tricky initially. I could not find any sample projects that I could use as a guide.

It's open source, so it's free.

We looked at other solutions, but this was the most complete.

It's a great tool that covers many features and is straightforward with logs.

• Dynamic Find methods
  • FindChild
  • FindAllChildren
  • FindAll
• Keys method
• Project variables
• Time delay methods

It helped to automate all the possible functional test cases which I previously used to do by manual testing.

I have used it for Web Application automation and sometimes find difficulties while recognizing dynamically-generated runtime object.

Name Mapping and finding objects at run time. I have no issue because its IDE is simple to use.

• License is less expensive than the other products available in the market.
• I have automated the regression test suite of my company's product.

It has memory leaks. I have seven complete test projects, all of them loaded in one project suite. I don't know why memory increases when I just write the code and check-in/out files from the VSTS.

For last five years.

Often crashes with large projects. File check-in takes too much time in TFS.

No idea.

Community is very helpful.

I didn't switch from another solution.

I would say straightforward, and really easy to work on TestComplete with its simple IDE.

They are changing the licensing structure which is really bad. TestComplete 11 supports all TestComplete modules in one license. TestComplete 12 has separate licenses for each module, Web, Desktop, etc. I hate the new licensing structure.

I have no idea.

It's a really good product with minimal issues.

It has easy recording, understanding, and use without too much programming.

Should improve parts for desktop products.

I have used it for four years and still use it today.

Yes, some.

Good, I only needed it once.

Yes, I had already used it. I changed because I did not have any solutions as close to the real thing as this. Free tools mostly do not resolve the problem.

The first was difficult only in learning how to do it. Going forward, it has been easy and intuitive. We scale projects the best way for the company as we find that the simpler way to do it.

It is expensive, and it is difficult to acquire living in Brazil. They should facilitate this. There are few representatives for this solution with little interest in selling it here.

Yes, JMeter.

It is a great product. Just get advice before installation and everything will be much easier for you. I strongly recommend it.

• Front-end click and record
• Ability to read in from and output to text files

• Creating test input with tens of thousands of combinations of fields
• Evolution of regression suite to sanity check new builds

• Product ungracefully crashes or hangs sometimes
• Sometimes gets caught out by messages appearing which confuses what is in focus

I used it for five years.

No issues encountered.

It's good.

It's good.

It's a simple installation, plus a license key.

• Some dev input required to develop app for playback
• Products own script playback facility is unreliable and we needed something that could kill and relaunch TestComplete

This was all handled by management.

An evaluation of Microsoft competition found it to not be suitable for front-end testing (it was more suitable to integration testing).

Possibility of the automated testing, installing plugins and extensions, data-driven testing & de-bugger.

I’ve used it only as a free 30-days trial and I'm not sure of how our company is using it.

I’m not a specialized tester and I’ve used it just for some private tests and have found in it what I was looking for.

I've used it for 3 years.

I've not had issues with deploying it.

I've had no issues with stability.

I've had no issues with scalability.

I didn't need customer service, so I have no experience with it.

I didn't need technical support, so I have no experience with it.

We did not use a different solution.

It was neither straightforward nor complex.

I'm not sure whether we did it in-house or through an outside team.

I'm not sure.
