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

"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."

"The automation has improved over time, allowing it to integrate with other external tools for defect tracking."

"Selenium integration."

"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."

"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."

"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."

"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."

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

More SmartBear TestComplete pros

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

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

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

"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 automation and AI are very good."

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

More TestProject [EOL] pros

Cons

"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."

"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."

"The web testing framework of TestComplete is not very helpful for an Automation Engineer; it requires the same effort as Selenium, and in most cases, Selenium proves to be a better testing tool for web-based testing."

"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."

"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."

"From my understanding, the product has changed significantly since v5 was released. I don’t know that it has necessarily improved, for my needs."

"The pricing is the constraint."

"I would like to see improved language support, with Python being my first choice."

More SmartBear TestComplete cons

"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."

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

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

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

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

"TestProject needs better support for integration with other products to provide a better overall solution for test planning and test data management."

"I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it."

More TestProject [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is too high."

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

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

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

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

"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."

"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."

"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 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."
