Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 18, 2024

Tricentis Tosca and Oracle Application Testing Suite (OATS) compete in the software testing automation category. Based on feature richness and flexibility, Tricentis Tosca appears more versatile, while OATS excels in integration with Oracle products.

Features: Tricentis Tosca offers scriptless automation suitable for non-technical users, a modular structure for easy test case maintenance, and robust integration with a variety of technologies and BI tools. Oracle Application Testing Suite integrates seamlessly with Oracle products, supports Oracle ERP testing, and offers OpenScript for recording and playback as well as performance testing through Oracle Load Testing.

Room for Improvement: Tricentis Tosca faces challenges with upgrades affecting add-ins and has limitations in object recognition in some web applications. Users also note a lack of strong versioning capabilities and complex test case functionalities. Oracle Application Testing Suite users report long recording flows and suggest better browser and desktop application integration, along with enhanced reporting features.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Tricentis Tosca provides hybrid, on-premises, and public cloud deployment options, yet customer support response time and availability could be improved. Oracle Application Testing Suite primarily offers on-premises and hybrid cloud deployments, with generally better customer service and faster response times, according to user feedback.

Pricing and ROI: Tricentis Tosca's higher price point and multiple licensing options deliver significant value but may be costly for smaller enterprises. Oracle Application Testing Suite is more cost-effective for Oracle users, with competitive pricing. Both products show strong ROI in reducing manual testing, but OATS is preferable for budget-conscious users.

Senior Engineer at Cignity Technology

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy

Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Antonio Oteri

IT Telecom Quality Senior Tester at TIM

Ability to automate tests across various platforms and simplifies test creation

From what I've seen with my colleagues who make the software selection, the prices for this software in Brazil are too expensive to be applied to anything but huge customers. I'm surprised because I was in charge of planning and control at the company before, when there was a manager there. Normally, the company has structural licenses that are based on the company they are selling to. I see that these companies cannot spend this money on Tricentis. I think Tosca is losing this type of market. They should have a different license policy for medium and small companies. The same happened in the past with SAP, which changed its policy and also made licenses for low.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is scalable."

"The function test feature is valuable."

"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."

"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"

"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."

"We like that we don't need a separate management tool. This is a good feature. It also has an inbuilt performance tool which is on Flash. It has very good record and playback feature as well. The inspection tool is also very good. Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."

"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."

"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."

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

"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."

"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 feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful."

"I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten as I am satisfied with it."

"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."

"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

"I have faced issues with some indexing items."

"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

"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."

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

"Might have a learning curve, as it does not follow the traditional Record-Play functionality, but tests have to be built from requirements or Agile story cards."

"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."

"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."

"The technical support services are generally good, though there are areas for improvement regarding response time and overall competence."

"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint."

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

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."

"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."

"If you are purchasing less than five licenses, then the pricing is high. On a scale from one to ten, with one being low and ten being high pricing, I would rate this solution at eight."

"Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."

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

"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."

"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."

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

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."
