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 ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"Selenium integration."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts."
"The product has many features."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject."
 

Cons

"The licensing costs are a little bit high and should be reduced."
"The learning curve of the solution's user interface is a little high for new users."
"The recording function, when using Python, could be improved, as it does not work well in recording testing."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"Stability issues occurred only when connecting to the SourceSafe. Sometimes, after getting the latest version, the tool hangs and it should be reopened in order to recover."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"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."
"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
"In an upcoming release, there should be a SaaS offering available."
"Difficult trying to configure on more than one browser."
"We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
"We have a TestComplete 12 license."
"Overall, for us, the cost of the TestComplete platform and the three extra modules is around $8,000."
"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"The price of SmartBear TestComplete could be less. The main challenge is when it comes to node-locked. They should use a subscription model, such as a monthly-based subscription or, a quarterly-based subscription. Their floating license is very expensive, and this high price should be reduced or provide, at a minimum, a subscription model."
"It is approximately $6,000 a year."
"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."
