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.

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 function test feature is valuable."

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

"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."

"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

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

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

"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 solution is scalable."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."

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

"The platform's most valuable feature is model-based testing, which is effective for test case design and optimization."

"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools."

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

"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."

"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."

"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing."

"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

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

"Licensing policies could be more intuitive."

"I would like to see better dashboards."

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

"I have faced issues with some indexing items."

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

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."

"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."

"They should have a different license policy for medium and small companies."

"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."

"In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows."

"The product needs to improve object identification. The identify with properties and anchor methods work perfectly, while the by-index and image methods may face challenges."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a ten. The licensing model is based on a yearly basis."

"Tosca is expensive. I don't see small and medium customers going for it. It's always large enterprises that have a big pocket. It is very expensive as compared to the other tools that we have in the market. They should reduce the price by half, and if they do that, they would do better business. From the competition perspective, other solutions are at a pretty similar level. UiPath is also very expensive. One thing that I always wanted was a short-term consumption license. With Tricentis, the biggest challenge is that you have to go for a minimum of one year license, and they also try to sell you a three-year license. It would be good if people can get a three-month or four-month consumption license."

"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."

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

"The licensing cost for Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It has multiple features, but to use all of its features, you have to pay for additional licenses."
