Featured Reviews

Prakhar Goel - PeerSpot reviewer
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
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

"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"The product has many features."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"This company offers end-to-end capabilities for test suite creation and execution. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the tagging system. Tags are highly valuable, as they allow you to assign tags to your test cases. When there's an impact in a specific area, you can search for and run all test cases associated with that tag. I find this functionality very useful."
"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. The are other features that SmartBear TestComplete has but the competition widely has them as well."
"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
"Ability to carry out automatic testing without having coding knowledge."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject."
 

Cons

"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options. For example, if a grid is used and it contains multiple controls within it, it can be a checkbox, radio button, or any kind of control, the way the Object Spy is operating currently there is a lot of room for improvement."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"The integration tools could be better."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"The learning curve of the solution's user interface is a little high for new users."
"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."
"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
"I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it."
"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."
"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."
"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's licensing cost has increased because it has moved to some new SLM-based licenses."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
"The pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
"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."
