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 SmartBear TestComplete for me is the image comparison functionality; it quickly detects any changes in the UI."
"I changed because I did not have any solutions as close to the real thing as this."
"Such anticipation, preparation and workarounds are the way to ‘Doing it right, with TestComplete’."
"After TestComplete, we have been able to reduce that time to less than one week."
"This has allowed us to make significant product changes, new server deployments, and hosting changes with high confidence."
"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."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product; it also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"This tool is very easy to use and very powerful."
"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."
"The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"They have some benefits which TestComplete doesn't have, but in general TestComplete overcomes them."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"There is no qualified support for different web UI frameworks and no V8 support as well."
"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."
"It seems to crash once every two to three months."
"The learning curve of the solution's user interface is a little high for new users."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big."
"I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it."
"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
"TestProject needs better support for integration with other products to provide a better overall solution for test planning and test data management."
"We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party."
"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."
"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."
"A company would not be able to scale with just this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"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."
"We have a TestComplete 12 license."
"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 price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
"The license price for a physical machine is cheap, and for virtual machine, it is very expensive."
"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."
"Price-wise, TestProject is an expensive product...With TestProject, there is a need to pay a certain amount towards its licensing costs."
"The solution is free."
