"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"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 scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."
"The low code is the best feature."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"One improvement would be if it could support more programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Right now, it is only on Groovy, which I think is not a too popular language."
"Currently, I'm the only one who can use it because I have a Mac. It is giving a hard time to my team members who are on Linux. My team members are using Linux, and Katalon doesn't support Linux very well. It keeps on crashing. It crashes and shuts down almost every time they save their work, so they are not able to use it. It should have good support for Linux. We don't know what the problem is. If the Katalon team can pick up this issue, it will be very helpful."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."
"They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack."
"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."
"The product needs to improve object identification. The identify with properties and anchor methods work perfectly, while the by-index and image methods may face challenges."
