You can achieve any complex task with this tool
There aren't any plugins for UI automation. You need to make a custom code and download a job to put into the libraries. If it were panelized, then it would be straightforward. It should be in a panel of the tools, so you can add those tools as your test step in your test cases. For example, it would be nice to have a Selenium plugin available from the menu, where I can select "open browser" and provide the URL. That URL would be immediately open in the browser. This is like a keyword, and then the Selenium plugin should be there.

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 solution offers excellent integration capabilities."
"The tool’s scalability is very good."
"It clearly makes it easy to test APIs based on the SOAP protocol. We are a logistics company, and we have lots of tracking calls coming in. We provide APIs for tracking services, and it makes sense for us to use SoapUI to test them thoroughly."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The solution has some good scanning features."
"One good feature is SoapUI's URL check, which allows you to check among the applications. I'm not just talking about the ones for Android. It has all kinds of multi-world tests that are really helpful."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"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 tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."
"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"The UI should be improved."
"I would like more documentation, training, tutorials, etc. Also, I don't particularly appreciate that I have to save everything. It takes up a lot of space on my laptop, but I have to install the WSDL again If I don't save it."
"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts."
"ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
"Primarily I'm dealing with customers looking for a cheap solution, and they are willing to try open-source automation solutions. So from this perspective, the price of Tosca is not as competitive."
"The technical support services are generally good, though there are areas for improvement regarding response time and overall competence."
"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."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is not that bad."
"My understanding is that the pricing is okay, however, that's taken care of by our procurement team. It's around $5,000 for three years."
"ReadyAPI Test is expensive, and I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"The Pro version can be expensive for some companies. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."
"ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."
"I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."
"SoapUI Pro is open source but it has a subscription-based model which involves some more features. At the moment we are using the free version. The Pro version requires a license, and it is an annual license to use it."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."
"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."
"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
"They are probably more expensive than other comparable tools, but you also get the full suite of testing tools."
"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."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
"​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."
