Featured Reviews

Prakhar Goel - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr Test Lead at Emerson
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.
Ashu Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior quality analyst at Lalli
An easy-to-use tool that saves time and functions within a limited budget
The solution's reporting system should be clearer and easier to understand for a layperson. I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it. For a layperson, the solution should be easy to use. Price-wise, TestProject is an expensive product. The product's current price should be lowered to attract potential customers.

Cons

"The pricing is the constraint."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"The web testing framework of TestComplete is not very helpful for an Automation Engineer; it requires the same effort as Selenium, and in most cases, Selenium proves to be a better testing tool for web-based testing."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"Sometimes, TestComplete crashes when attempting to delete over 10 logs."
"A test case design (schema) module would be nice."
"Headless testing would be a big improvement."

"Technical support is an area they need to work on, they are too slow to resolve issues."
"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."
"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."
"I have had some difficulty trying to configure it on several browsers."
"A company would not be able to scale with just this solution."
"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."
"It is approximately $6,000 a year."
"It comes with a high cost."
"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."
"The product is becoming more and more expensive."
"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"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."
"The solution is free."
"Price-wise, TestProject is an expensive product...With TestProject, there is a need to pay a certain amount towards its licensing costs."
