Prakhar Goel

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.

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

"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."

"The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts."

"This company offers end-to-end capabilities for test suite creation and execution. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the tagging system. Tags are highly valuable, as they allow you to assign tags to your test cases. When there's an impact in a specific area, you can search for and run all test cases associated with that tag. I find this functionality very useful."

"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."

"The product has many features."

"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."

"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."

More SmartBear TestComplete pros

"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."

"Ability to carry out automatic testing without having coding knowledge."

"The automation and AI are very good."

"The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject."

"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

Cons

"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."

"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."

"In scenarios where two of our engineers work on the same task, merging codes is a bit difficult."

"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."

"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."

"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."

"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."

"Headless testing would be a big improvement."

More SmartBear TestComplete cons

"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."

"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."

"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is too high."

"The product is becoming more and more expensive."

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

"It comes with a high cost."

"It is approximately $6,000 a year."

"The solution's licensing cost has increased because it has moved to some new SLM-based licenses."

"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."

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

Reviews from Real Users

Sandhiya T S., Sr Solutions Engineer at Lexington Soft, relates, “The record and replay aspects of the solution are quite useful for people. With them, you don't have to write any scripts. Basically, you can record your actions and play them back later. The initial setup is also very easy.”

Sai S R., Staff Test Architect at a tech services company, says, "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."
