Flexible and intuitive with easy reporting, and good support that is instantly available through chat
It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time. This is not an issue if you only have one bug tracker but we can potentially use different tools for different projects. As an example, if you connect PractiTest to Jira for one project, that's the one you have to use for all projects. We had a requirement to connect with Jira for one project, and a different tool for another, project but it was unable to accommodate that unfortunately. I would therefore like to see it easier to integrate with bug tracking tools at project level which would give each project the opportunity to use a different bug tracker if required.

End-to-end regression automation has accelerated delivery and now secures complex test data
I think Tosca can be improved, particularly in AI capabilities because right now Tosca does not have any strong API capabilities. It has some AI features in the newer version, but many organizations have not adopted these due to version-specific problems, as some are still using older versions. From an AI point of view, they can enhance reliability since the world is moving towards AI, and every tool must be integrated. While Tosca has made attempts, I have not used them and they are not widely adopted, so they are stuck in the testing phase in my organization. I would also mention that while I am currently using Tosca Mobile, the loading part and connectivity issues need improvement. They should better integrate AI features that are already present but not widely used across many organizations. Reliability on the AI aspect needs enhancement for practical application. From the perspective of governance and security, I believe Tosca can develop its own LLM or leverage third-party LLMs while maintaining security and risk management regarding client data. Many companies prefer using Tosca due to data security, which is crucial. An in-house LLM could significantly enhance its debugging power and provide helpful solutions upon test case failure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"PractiTest gives us the opportunity to control the testing process efficiently and saves us a lot of time that we had to spend while using other tools."
"Technical support of PractiTest is awesome. They are always ready to help in any time zone, which makes them stand out from others."
"Helped organise the manual test cases so they were documented correctly, which was invaluable as it allowed for reviewing and improving of test scripts so they could be followed by a number of different people which helped with resourcing."
"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
"Since we started using this product, our organization's testing functionality has really improved."
"In addition, we found PractiTest very user-friendly and customizable."
"This is a good solution for a global transnational company."
"Converting a couple of these test plans into PractiTest was amazing and made a world of difference."
"Scriptless SW QA automation provides a very quick on ramp to test automation with little maintenance."
"We did a full-blown POC, it was super successful and we were able to automate a large number of our scripts and save a lot of time and also automate a lot of our testing."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"Tosca lets you jot down your requirements, design test cases, automate and analyse your test results within one GUI."
"The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."
"One feature we like is the live connectivity of the product, in other words, you can push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data."
"We switched to Tosca because it's a no-code solution, so people without coding skills can also use it, and if you have an in-depth understanding of the Tosca framework, you can easily automate any complex application."
"To me, what stands out the most about Tricentis Tosca is that even if I'm not a technical tester, I could pick up on how to use it very quickly because of the mechanisms of the tool, for example, its scanning mechanism. I'm not so technical, but I'm able to maneuver through Tricentis Tosca and derive capability. It's a user-friendly tool. It's not very complex."
 

Cons

"Yes, there are times when server is very slow in response."
"PractiTest practically requires a lot of sandboxing, demos with their team, and online tutorials."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time."
"Needs to improve adding the ability to run tests multiple times and setting different parameters."
"It does not offer server installation, only software as a service."
"There are some features that I would like added: an option to export a part of tests with steps."
"Exploratory testing engine needs improved element recognition (at lease in JAVA Swing)"
"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."
"The record and play is still a new feature and while SAP has been added to the latest version, it is still lacking usefulness for common repository setups."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"In Tricentis Tosca, we need to capture the element each time. If they could implement an auto-heal feature, it would capture automatically by detecting it from the page."
"The solution should work to try to lessen the cost of the solution. Right now, using it is costly for companies such as ours."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"It can be quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is probably in the middle, it's not the cheapest but it's not the most expensive."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
"Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."
"The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."
"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."
"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."
"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."
"I am satisfied with the cost."
