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

"The simplicity of Jenkins and the evolving ecosystem of Jenkins are most valuable. Today, you do not have to write a pipeline from scratch. The library functionality of Jenkins helps you to bring all those in ready-made, and you also get the best practices for them. That is a great feature of Jenkins, and that is why it is being used significantly."

"Jenkins is very stable."

"Jenkins is a very mature product."

"Jenkins allows us to automate deployment, so I no longer have to do it manually. That's the primary use case. The other advantage of Jenkins is that it's open source. It was free for me to download and install. It's a product that's been in use for many years, so I can find a lot of support online for any issues that I may encounter while configuring anything for a given use case."

"This solution has helped us in automating the build and test process, reducing time."

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

"This is a great integration tool and very powerful."

"The most valuable feature of Jenkins is its open source."

More Jenkins pros

"It offers many features, such as risk-based testing and scenario creation using Kafka."

"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."

"Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people."

"Object Identification Wizard."

"It's been very helpful to have connectivity with mobile. The tool also identifies some of the actual changes from the recordings on the actual testing suite. That is something that I really like."

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

"I am impressed with the product's script test."

"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"Jenkins should adopt the Pipeline as Code approach by building a deployment pipeline using the Jenkins file."

"The documentation could be more friendly, and more examples of how to use it."

"There is no way for the cloud repositories to trigger Jenkins."

"I would like them to provide space for people to have a central node that stores all the logs of workspace information in a distributed fashion to facilitate backup and restoration. Currently, everything is stored on one node, so you need to set up distributed storage or an endpoint that you can use for backing up your information."

"This solution could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful."

"Jenkins needs a faster deployment process."

"Integrating Jenkins with other tools or solutions has presented some challenges. For instance, when attempting to integrate Jenkins with Kubernetes, I encountered numerous errors, which took several days to resolve. In Jenkins, adding a feature typically involves incorporating the repository feature separately. Jenkins lacks built-in Git repository functionality, necessitating an external Git repository to store Jenkins manifests."

"There are some difficulties when we need to execute the DB script."

More Jenkins cons

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

"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."

"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."

"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."

"The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work. The exploratory testing feature is not working for version 2023.1, which we are currently using."

"Tricentis Tosca could improve on the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve. The reporting section could be better and some of the new features could be simplified. Additionally, the user management of the client and the server are confusing. There should not be two."

"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."

"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In our company, we do pay for the licensing of the solution."

"There is no cost. It is open source."

"It is free."

"Jenkins is not expensive and reasonably priced."

"The tool is open-source."

"Jenkins is an open-source platform."

"This is an open-source solution for the basic features. However, if an organization wishes to include specific functionality, outside of the basic package, there are extra costs involved."

"It could be cheaper because there are many solutions available in the market. We are paying yearly."

More Jenkins pricing and cost advice

"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."

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

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

"I am satisfied with the cost."

"The tool is expensive. It has become overpriced, especially after Tricentis Tosca grew as a company. Initially, we bought a license with an annual support fee, which wasn't too expensive. However, they changed the model, and now we have to purchase a license yearly, which has become quite costly."

"The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."

"It is expensive. There is also the training cost, but it does speed up the process. So, you get a return on investment."

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

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…
