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.

"This product is quite mature, able to compete with other products in the market, and I would highly recommend it."
"You can record your actions and play them back later."
"Data driven testing using Microsoft Excel Viewing properties of objects using Object Spy Organizing test runs using the Test Items page of the project editor"
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"It is value for money, and different licensing options are available."

Cons

"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"The initial deployment of TestComplete was difficult, but with the assistance of SmartBear technical support, I was able to get it up and running."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big."
"Unfortunately, TestExecute does not enable us to select the Tests that has to be executed."
"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, the product only supports Windows."
"When it comes to customization controls the scalability of SmartBear TestComplete is limited."
"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."
"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."
"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."
"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."
"I have had some difficulty trying to configure it on several browsers."

"The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."
"It comes with a high cost."
"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."
