Offers one click graphical dashboard reports and advanced customization

Integration with other platforms, Test Set schedule, custom filters, requirements linking with the test case, and the Dashboard are the most valuable features of this product. Just one click on the Dashboard and we get all reports in graphical format. Dashboards and reports are very customizable and the ability to share metrics with other colleagues is a great feature. Custom filters are really a big advantage of PractiTest. We have hundreds of tests and test sets that we can arrange properly and easily thanks to this tool. In addition, PractiTest offers a good reporting module and integration with other platforms such as JIRA, which we use daily. Advanced customization allows us to customize the tool's settings in accordance with all our needs. We integrated PractiTest with Pivotal Tracker and it allowed us to have everything synced on two systems and to make our testing process more professional.

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 most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."

"The Model-Based Test Automation is the most valuable feature, where you can create reusable components. Even though we are using a scriptless automation tool, there still needs to be an understanding of how to create reusable components and how to keep refactoring and how to keep regression, the test scripts, at an okay level. We are coupling Tosca with some other risk-based testing tools, as well, but automation is primarily what we're using Tosca for, the scriptless, model-based technology which is driving automation for us."

"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."

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

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

"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."

"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot. They keep on continuously improving their tools, wherever we are facing any challenges they are able to provide a solution for it. It is easy to learn, everyone can easily read and understand what is happening with the scripts. Any business user or function tester can use the tool efficiently. This is a complete solution package."

"The use of automation is most valuable."

"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."

Cons

"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different tracking tools."

"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."

"Product quality has declined as it grows, and its updates aren't without fault. The process of resolving problems has slowed, and as it expands into other areas like NeoLoad and other testing tools, the product becomes more complicated. It used to be a small firm with a clear goal, but as it grows, the quality has been affected."

"With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants. The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement. I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release."

"I would say the reporting part of the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The product's test case management functionality needs enhancement."

"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."

"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."

"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."

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 not expensive at all."

"In terms of the licensing costs for Tricentis Tosca, we are spending more or less $70,000 per year. We have a very complex mechanism because there are some business users and some BI users, so the licensing structure is not simple, but support is included."

"The price of Tricentis Tosca is approximately Є10,000 for one license. However, it used to be much cheaper, but they changed their license structure. It used to be a structure where if you bought a license you would receive one year of free support and maintenance. Now they only have a yearly license, and that is expensive."

"The tool is quite 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."

"It is expensive. There is also the training cost, but it does speed up the process. So, you get a return on investment."

"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."

"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."
