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.

Ashu Singh

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

"Good test coverage through automation and provides unique solutions to most of the automation challenges (e.g. comparison of images)."

"It's very helpful that, when you have a recording in one application, in one navigator, you can replay every step in different applications."

"Selenium integration."

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

"The solution has saved a lot of human resources by running full regression tests prior to each release, and over the years many major bugs have been detected by the tool, saving us the big expense of fixing problems after a release."

"Price-wise, feature-wise, its ability to integrate with other products, and of course, scalability-wise, it's great."

"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."

"The initial set-up was exceedingly simple."

More SmartBear TestComplete pros

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

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

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

"The automation and AI are very good."

"The product has a very good record-and-play functionality."

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

More TestProject [EOL] pros

Cons

"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."

"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."

"Customer Service can be slow to respond to electronic forms of communication and they do not have a way for a customer to speak directly to customer support."

"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."

"The level of technical support leaves a lot to be desired."

"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."

"The solution needs Mac OS support."

"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."

More SmartBear TestComplete cons

"I have had some difficulty trying to configure it on several browsers."

"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."

"A company would not be able to scale with just this solution."

"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."

"Technical support is an area they need to work on, they are too slow to resolve issues."

"We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party."

More TestProject [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."

"We have a TestComplete 12 license."

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

"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."

"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."

"The solution's pricing is too high."

"The pricing is pretty reasonable."

More SmartBear TestComplete pricing and cost advice

"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."

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."
