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

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"SmartBear TestComplete performs some self-healing and has a feature called OCR (optical character recognition)."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"Selenium integration."
"TestComplete is a good product compared to other options that are on the market."
"The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"Ability to carry out automatic testing without having coding knowledge."
"One of the valuable features the solution offers is the chance to be able to perform automatic tests by recording, and to create them without having coding knowledge."
"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
 

Cons

"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"Sometimes the app crashes during test execution based on the amount of code that is running."
"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."
"The initial deployment of TestComplete was difficult, but with the assistance of SmartBear technical support, I was able to get it up and running."
"I can sense there's still a little bit more room for improvement in terms of making the whole testing process easier."
"LoadComplete could be a little more user-friendly, but is still better than LoginVSI."
"The test object repository needs to be improved. The hierarchy and the way we identify the objects in different applications, irrespective of technology, needs adjustments. The located and test objects are not as flexible compared to other commercial tools."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."
"We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party."
"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."
"I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it."
"Technical support is an area they need to work on, they are too slow to resolve issues."
"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."
"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a TestComplete 12 license."
"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 pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"The license price for a physical machine is cheap, and for virtual machine, it is very expensive."
"Overall, for us, the cost of the TestComplete platform and the three extra modules is around $8,000."
"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."
"Price-wise, TestProject is an expensive product...With TestProject, there is a need to pay a certain amount towards its licensing costs."
"The solution is free."
