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

"After TestComplete, we have been able to reduce that time to less than one week."
"We already have the UI smoke test and have integrated to our build system, which runs each day for multiple versions of the product and saves us a lot of time."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"Regressions and Smoke was done manually in the past, which has been replaced by Automated Testing."
"If a user is testing behavioral actions, then SmartBear is a very good product to go to."
"The Object Spy has surpassed any other "spy" tools I have ever used."
"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"TestComplete is much more flexible, light, and easy to use."
"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."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The automation and AI are very good."
"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
"Ability to carry out automatic testing without having coding knowledge."
 

Cons

"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"I can sense there's still a little bit more room for improvement in terms of making the whole testing process easier."
"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."
"The level of technical support leaves a lot to be desired."
"We did not maximize our ROI until we put somebody full-time on our TestComplete endeavours. The tool does have a learning curve, and it wasn't until we had an in-house expert on it that we began to see the benefits of automated testing over traditional QA roles."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"TestProject needs better support for integration with other products to provide a better overall solution for test planning and test data management."
"TestProject needs better support for integration with other products to provide a better overall solution for test planning and test data management."
"Technical support is an area they need to work on, they are too slow to resolve issues."
"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."
"I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it."
"I have had some difficulty trying to configure it on several browsers."
"A company would not be able to scale with just this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's licensing cost has increased because it has moved to some new SLM-based licenses."
"The license price for a physical machine is cheap, and for virtual machine, it is very expensive."
"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."
"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 price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."
"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."
