Used for integration automation, user-based automation, and web automation
The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts. The solution has introduced a new feature that helps us identify objects we cannot normally identify. It gives you a fair idea of objects, resolving the object recognition issue. The solution can be used to perform different tests on different machines.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"TestComplete fits almost perfectly with a large amount of stacks, such as Delphi, C#, Java and web applications."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"The integration tools could be better."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"In scenarios where two of our engineers work on the same task, merging codes is a bit difficult."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options. For example, if a grid is used and it contains multiple controls within it, it can be a checkbox, radio button, or any kind of control, the way the Object Spy is operating currently there is a lot of room for improvement."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"The license price for a physical machine is cheap, and for virtual machine, it is very expensive."
"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
"TestComplete now have come up with three modules (Web, Desktop & Mobile), so based on the type of product for automation, it is adequate to purchase the required module."
"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."
"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"Buy modules on demand. If you have a four-person team and they will each automate tests only 25% of the time, it's better to buy a floating licence and share the tool during the work day."
"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
