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

"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"SmartBear TestComplete performs some self-healing and has a feature called OCR (optical character recognition)."
"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool. It covers all necessary items in the test plan. The most painful item in testing is maintenance. When changes occur, the tests should be maintained."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
"The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject."

Cons

"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"The integration tools could be better."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"In scenarios where two of our engineers work on the same task, merging codes is a bit difficult."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."
"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
"We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party."
"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It comes with a high cost."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
"Overall, for us, the cost of the TestComplete platform and the three extra modules is around $8,000."
"It is approximately $6,000 a year."
"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
"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."
