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

"Since we started using this product, our organization's testing functionality has really improved."
"This is a good solution for a global transnational company."
"Technical support of PractiTest is awesome. They are always ready to help in any time zone, which makes them stand out from others."
"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
"Converting a couple of these test plans into PractiTest was amazing and made a world of difference."
"In addition, we found PractiTest very user-friendly and customizable."
"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."
"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."
"From the commercial tool perspective, Tosca is a leader in every aspect."
"The product is extremely stable and provides excellent value."
"The amazing features provided by Tricentis takes automation to a different world and it's fun working with it."
"The advantage of using Tricentis Tosca is that we can get started with automation without much investment on solution development, with it following a keyword-driven approach."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate, no coding skills are required to automate, and it is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills."
"For a manual tester who wants to become an automation specialist with no programming skills, this is the right tool for the future."
"Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
 

Cons

"Yes, there are times when server is very slow in response."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time."
"There are some features that I would like added: an option to export a part of tests with steps."
"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."
"PractiTest practically requires a lot of sandboxing, demos with their team, and online tutorials."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It should improve the testing of legacy systems and interfaces."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"It did not improve because the GUI was not static, so it was not possible to write tests for a GUI that was in progress."
"Upgrading from one version to another requires maintenance and rework in existing scripts. This is too much for my taste."
"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."
"Dashboard for results still need to be improve in Tosca Test Suite"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is probably in the middle, it's not the cheapest but it's not the most expensive."
"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."
"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"I am satisfied with the cost."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."
"There are two licenses: single user and multiple user. A multiple-user license means that several people can work together on one project and collaborate on code stored in a central location. A single-user license is for people working alone on a one particular application. It's much cheaper than a multi-user workspace. If you are getting a large volume of licenses for an enterprise, you can probably negotiate a discount, but I'm not sure about that."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
