George Mahlangu - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation Tester at Telesure Investment Holdings (TIH)
Record and playback functionality makes it easier to script and create automated tests
Headless testing would be a big improvement. For example, when we run our regression suite, we need to start a virtual machine and run the tests interactively. There isn't a way to run the tests headlessly without logging into the virtual machine. That's the one feature I think would really take TestComplete to the next level. Another feature that would be a valuable addition is that instead of generating MHT files when you enter an incident in Azure DevOps, they should have a way to generate something like an HTML file. MHT files are an outdated technology that requires Internet Explorer to open. With current technologies and Microsoft's updates to Edge, you can end up with MHT files that you can't open. That's a feature they could improve upon. Each tool has its own way of generating reports. Maybe if you go open source with something like the Allure Report and add an Allure Report extension to Azure DevOps, that would provide clearer and nicer reports. I know TestComplete has its own way of implementing alerts, but the issue is that you don't see the screenshots in Allure report when you use it.
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

"This application is helping a lot in regression testing."
"It's a great tool that covers many features and is straightforward with logs."
"TestComplete is extremely efficient when it comes to scripting."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"TestComplete fits almost perfectly with a large amount of stacks, such as Delphi, C#, Java and web applications."
"Price-wise, feature-wise, its ability to integrate with other products, and of course, scalability-wise, it's great."
"To me, the Object Browser has proven to be the most valuable feature of this product."
"I used different solution afterwards and I can say there is no other product with such great flexibility."
"Ability to carry out automatic testing without having coding knowledge."
"The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
 

Cons

"Product ungracefully crashes or hangs sometimes."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"A test case design (schema) module would be nice."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription."
"I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it."
"I have had some difficulty trying to configure it on several browsers."
"TestProject needs better support for integration with other products to provide a better overall solution for test planning and test data management."
"We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party."
"A company would not be able to scale with just this solution."
"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."
"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."
"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."
"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."
"It is approximately $6,000 a year."
"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."
"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 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."
