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."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"TestComplete has strong reporting capabilities. The reports they generate are really good."
"The integration with various tools is important."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"At times, identifying or locating an element can be somewhat challenging. However, in a recent test update, they introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. This introduction has reduced the challenges to some extent, as we can now utilize OCR if the normal method doesn't work. Nevertheless, there is still significant potential for improvement in TestComplete's ability to identify various object elements. I don't have any specific concerns to mention. I have observed significant improvements in TestComplete over the past few years, especially in its support for highly dynamic object elements used in products like Salesforce Dynamics 365. In earlier versions, there were numerous challenges, but the current version is far superior to its predecessors."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"The licensing costs are a little bit high and should be reduced."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"The learning curve of the solution's user interface is a little high for new users."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"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."
"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."
"TestProject needs better support for integration with other products to provide a better overall solution for test planning and test data management."
"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."
"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."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"The solution's pricing is too high."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, for us, the cost of the TestComplete platform and the three extra modules is around $8,000."
"The pricing is pretty reasonable."
"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."
