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

"Using TestComplete, the application tests are executed at night unmanned, so that test engineers can focus on developing new tests instead of executing existing tests."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is how easy it is to create tests."
"Using TestComplete I was able to immediately (after installation) begin coding regression tests for available functionality."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"It's a really good product with minimal issues."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE."
"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool; it covers all necessary items in the test plan and is very useful from all perspectives."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"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."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"Ability to carry out automatic testing without having coding knowledge."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution needs Mac OS support."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"We did not maximize our ROI until we put somebody full-time on our TestComplete endeavours. The tool does have a learning curve, and it wasn't until we had an in-house expert on it that we began to see the benefits of automated testing over traditional QA roles."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"The learning curve of the solution's user interface is a little high for new users."
"It is very difficult to have multiple developers when using Name Mapping. You can’t merge all the files and this creates conflicts."
"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."
"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."
"A company would not be able to scale with just this solution."
"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."
"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."
"We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party."
"I have had some difficulty trying to configure it on several browsers."
"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
"The pricing is pretty reasonable."
"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."
"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"The solution's pricing is too high."
"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."
"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 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."
