A highly-scalable and stable solution that reduces deployment time and produces a significant return on investment

The dashboard needs to be improved. Though the access management and authentication functionalities are present, the dashboard and UI could be more user-friendly. The product has many plug-ins. Users have to go through the documentation to be able to use the product. The UI must be more user-friendly. The information should be available in the dashboard itself. The users shouldn’t have to refer to the documentation. When a user hovers over the elements on the dashboard, it should reveal information about them.

Has transformed testing by reducing scripting effort and enhancing productivity with advanced features

The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic. For example, if a button in an application changes, Tricentis Tosca should be smart enough to detect the change and still execute the script seamlessly. Improvements are needed to ensure it responds dynamically to changes in the application.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Jenkins is very customizable."

"Jenkins has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes."

"It is easy to use."

"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration of automatic scripts for testing and the user's ability to use any script."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to connect with different tools and technologies."

"Jenkins is free and open source."

"We used it for all continuous integration parts, like automation testing, deployment, etc."

"Automation of chores like deployment, frequent manual tasks (like running scripts on test and production systems) reduced the time used and the number of errors made by engineers, freeing them to do meaningful work instead."

More Jenkins pros

"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."

"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."

"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."

"The initial setup isn't too difficult."

"One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal."

"Tosca can go through platforms to make end-to-end testing across CRM, billing, provisioning, order management flow, and databases to check for errors."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"It can be improved by including automated mobile reporting integrations."

"I think an integrated help button, that respected the context of the change/work in hand, would be a worthwhile improvement."

"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory."

"Logging could be improved to offer a clearer view."

"Sometimes you have Jenkins restarting because of OOM errors."

"Jenkins takes a long time to create archive files."

"We sometimes face challenges during version upgrades, such as failures when migrating Kubernetes versions."

"Jenkins needs a faster deployment process."

More Jenkins cons

"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."

"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."

"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."

"The product is not very stable when used with cloud storage. It is very hard to load the screen, making it difficult to use the tool in cloud storage."

"With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants. The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement. I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release."

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

"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."

"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jenkins is an open-source tool."

"It is free."

"The tool is open-source."

"We use the tool's open-source version which is free. There is an enterprise version which is expensive but comes with better support."

"It's free software with a big community behind it, which is very good."

"Some of the add-ons are too expensive."

"Jenkins is open source and free."

"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There are no costs or licensing."

More Jenkins pricing and cost advice

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

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

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."

"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."

"The pricing and licensing of Tricentis Tosca were alright. Many customers look for end-to-end enterprise solutions, there were not many challenges with the pricing. However, the customers who are coming from Selenium or similar, feel they're paying a premium for this Tricentis Tosca license. If the right person is there for the implementation of the Tricentis Tosca, then it is one of the best tools in the market."

"There are two licenses: single user and multiple user. A multiple-user license means that several people can work together on one project and collaborate on code stored in a central location. A single-user license is for people working alone on a one particular application. It's much cheaper than a multi-user workspace. If you are getting a large volume of licenses for an enterprise, you can probably negotiate a discount, but I'm not sure about that."

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

"We hired a consultant to figure out all the tools in our company and how they fit in our company before we purchased the solution."

I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins.

Moving to TeamCity from Jenkins At work, we’re slowly migrating from Jenkins to TeamCity in the hope of ending some of our recurring problems with continuous integration. My use of Jenkins prior to this job has been almost strictly on a personal basis, although I pretty much only use Travis…
