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

"TestComplete has strong reporting capabilities. The reports they generate are really good."

"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool. It covers all necessary items in the test plan. The most painful item in testing is maintenance. When changes occur, the tests should be maintained."

"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."

"The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#. It's very easy to put them all under one project and use them. The are other features that SmartBear TestComplete has but the competition widely has them as well."

"SmartBear TestComplete performs some self-healing and has a feature called OCR (optical character recognition)."

"The solution has a very nice interface."

"The solution is mainly stable."

"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."

More SmartBear TestComplete pros

"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."

Cons

"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."

"The pricing is the constraint."

"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."

"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."

"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."

"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."

"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."

"There could be API interfaces with this tool."

More SmartBear TestComplete cons

"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license price for a physical machine is cheap, and for virtual machine, it is very expensive."

"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."

"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."

"The price of SmartBear TestComplete could be less. The main challenge is when it comes to node-locked. They should use a subscription model, such as a monthly-based subscription or, a quarterly-based subscription. Their floating license is very expensive, and this high price should be reduced or provide, at a minimum, a subscription model."

"Overall, for us, the cost of the TestComplete platform and the three extra modules is around $8,000."

"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."

"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."

"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."

Reviews from Real Users
