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.

Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers
Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

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."
"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"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."
"Overall, I rate Tricentis Tosca as a ten out of ten."
"Licenses are expensive, but they are worth using."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
 

Cons

"PractiTest practically requires a lot of sandboxing, demos with their team, and online tutorials."
"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."
"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."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different tracking tools."
"It does not offer server installation, only software as a service."
"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."
"The solution should work to try to lessen the cost of the solution. Right now, using it is costly for companies such as ours."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"If you need to improve one of the Tosca engines, you have to develop it in the same language, such as C# and Java, so you need more technical experts to help you."
"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is probably in the middle, it's not the cheapest but it's not the most expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
"The tool is expensive. It has become overpriced, especially after Tricentis Tosca grew as a company. Initially, we bought a license with an annual support fee, which wasn't too expensive. However, they changed the model, and now we have to purchase a license yearly, which has become quite costly."
"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."
"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."
"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
"Tricentis Tosca is not expensive at all."
