"I would rate Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional's stability at eight out of ten."
"The solution can handle a huge amount of workloads, it's quite scalable."
"The tool's most valuable features are scripting and automation."
"I recommend LoadRunner Professional as it supports many protocols and applications and is very easy to set up and use."
"Graph monitoring is a valuable feature."
"Its variety of testing tools for different applications is of great benefit, as well as its integration capabilities with other testing and monitoring solutions."
"LoadRunner is a very sophisticated tool, and I can use many languages. For example, I can use Java. I can use C++. I can test the Internet of Things, FTP, mail, and Active Directory. It is very useful."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"Tosca BI is important to make sure that our data integrity is in check and validated; to make sure our data is good. Our data is the number-one important driver for our company, so if that's not good, we have some big problems."
"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 most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."
"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional can improve the implementation of digital areas, such as digital testing, UI and native application, and native mobile applications."
"I guess scalability becomes a problem when you use things like TruClients."
"I would like to see better-licensing costs."
"The solution needs to reduce its pricing. Right now, it's quite expensive."
"If the support of the protocols was the same throughout the other protocols and it was there evenly, then I would rate the product higher."
"I would like them to lower the licensing cost and provide better support."
"We still have some issues with integration with things like SiteScope which, obviously, being another HPE product should be very straightforward, but there are always issues around that."
"Micro Focus has two separate products for web and mobile applications, which means you have to invest in both."
"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."
"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."
"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
