We are facing sometimes the situation when we have some issues with our automated tests.
I like that it offers internal methods for supported controls. It is very easy to code the tests. Object Spy is also a good feature. The mapping is pretty complicated because there are a lot of controls that are the same and if you have a long name with the object mapping it is easy to get confused. TestComplete is perfect if you have an automation ID or something unique to each controller. Unfortunately our developers said that it's very hard to maintain all the names and automation IDs. Maybe in the future with this mapping part would be better.

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 features I find most valuable is the automatic remapping of aliases, because it is really helpful."
"I like that it offers internal methods for supported controls. It is very easy to code the tests. Object Spy is also a good feature."
"Tricentis Tosca can be easily integrated with SAP infrastructure."
"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."
"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."
"One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"It's stable and reliable."

Cons

"It is very difficult to use the aliases on old software."
"The mapping is pretty complicated because there are a lot of controls that are the same and if you have a long name with the object mapping it is easy to get confused."
"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area."
"The solution is expensive."
"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."
"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."
"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."
"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"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."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
