Cons

"The solution currently does not support mobile applications. It would significantly improve its versatility."

"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."

"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."

"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."

"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."

"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."

"There could be API interfaces with this tool."

"The test object repository needs to be improved. The hierarchy and the way we identify the objects in different applications, irrespective of technology, needs adjustments. The located and test objects are not as flexible compared to other commercial tools."

"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product helps reduce overall costs by decreasing reliance on manual testers and speeding up testing cycles."

"Buy modules on demand. If you have a four-person team and they will each automate tests only 25% of the time, it's better to buy a floating licence and share the tool during the work day."

"My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."

"We have a TestComplete 12 license."

"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."

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

"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."

"The price of SmartBear TestComplete could be less. The main challenge is when it comes to node-locked. They should use a subscription model, such as a monthly-based subscription or, a quarterly-based subscription. Their floating license is very expensive, and this high price should be reduced or provide, at a minimum, a subscription model."

"The pricing is pretty reasonable."

Reviews from Real Users

Sandhiya T S., Sr Solutions Engineer at Lexington Soft, relates, “The record and replay aspects of the solution are quite useful for people. With them, you don't have to write any scripts. Basically, you can record your actions and play them back later. The initial setup is also very easy.”

Sai S R., Staff Test Architect at a tech services company, says, "The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#. It's very easy to put them all under one project and use them."
