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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can record your actions and play them back later."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"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."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"SmartBear TestComplete performs some self-healing and has a feature called OCR (optical character recognition)."
"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"Ability to carry out automatic testing without having coding knowledge."
 

Cons

"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"Headless testing would be a big improvement."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"The recording function, when using Python, could be improved, as it does not work well in recording testing."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"TestProject needs better support for integration with other products to provide a better overall solution for test planning and test data management."
"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."
"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
"We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party."
"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."
"I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."
"Overall, for us, the cost of the TestComplete platform and the three extra modules is around $8,000."
"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."
