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.

Cons

"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete."
"The learning curve of the solution's user interface is a little high for new users."

"Sometimes, TestComplete crashes when attempting to delete over 10 logs."
"The licensing costs are a little bit high and should be reduced."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"There often are issues with web test execution."
"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."
"A company would not be able to scale with just this solution."
"TestProject needs better support for integration with other products to provide a better overall solution for test planning and test data management."

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 pricing is pretty reasonable."
"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."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"TestComplete now have come up with three modules (Web, Desktop & Mobile), so based on the type of product for automation, it is adequate to purchase the required module."
"My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."
"The solution's licensing cost has increased because it has moved to some new SLM-based licenses."
"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."
"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."
