Easy to integrate and has a plug-in that supports both C and C++ languages
We use the product to review our software codes. We have integrated the product to review our new delivery code When we deliver a code, the solution scans the code and reports whether the code has bugs or any other vulnerability issues. Thus the solution helps us identify issues and improve the…

Ability to automate tests across various platforms and simplifies test creation
From what I've seen with my colleagues who make the software selection, the prices for this software in Brazil are too expensive to be applied to anything but huge customers. I'm surprised because I was in charge of planning and control at the company before, when there was a manager there. Normally, the company has structural licenses that are based on the company they are selling to. I see that these companies cannot spend this money on Tricentis. I think Tosca is losing this type of market. They should have a different license policy for medium and small companies. The same happened in the past with SAP, which changed its policy and also made licenses for low.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"The stability is good."
"The solution has a plug-in that supports both C and C++ languages."
"SonarQube: Recording of issues over a period of time, with an indication of the addition in the new issues or the reduction of existing issues (which were fixed)."
"Strong code evaluation for budget-minded clients."
"I like that it's easy to navigate not just in terms of code findings but you can actually see them in the context of your source code because it gives you a copy of your code with the items that it found and highlights them. You can see it directly in your code, so you can easily go back and make the corrections in the code. It basically finds the problems for you and tells you where they are."
"Integrate it into the developers' workbench so that they can bench check their code against what will be done in the server-based audit version."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, easy to access, and they provide good training files."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily."
"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."
"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"The solution can be deployed in DevOps and ERP environments like Oracle Fusion. It accelerates testing with the libraries. The product incorporates libraries and is more sensitive to the scans."
"This tool is very easy to use and I think that anyone can come in, having no experience with it, and within four to six months be comfortable with it."
 

Cons

"SonarQube can improve by scanning the internal library which currently it does not do. We are looking for a solution for this."
"It would be a great add-on if SonarQube could update its database for vulnerabilities or plugging parts."
"A little bit more emphasis on security and a bit more security scanning features would be nice."
"The security in SonarQube could be better."
"A robust credential scanner would be a huge bonus as it would remove the need for yet another niche product."
"I don't believe you can have metrics of code quality based upon code analysis. I don't think it's possible for a computer to do it."
"There isn't a very good enterprise report."
"The product must improve security analysis."
"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SonarQube enterprise, I am not sure of the price but from what I understand they are charging a fee. It's is not clear if it is an annual fee or a one-off."
"The costs for this application, for the kind of job it does, are pretty decent."
"Can try developer version for 14 days on the free trial."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"A low cost long-term solution for non-critical situations."
"We have a license with 125,000 lines of code. We did not purchase a lot of lines but it is specific to our code environment."
"Some of the plugins that were previously free are not free now."
"We are using the community version of the solution and we plan on purchasing licenses for the upgraded version soon. There is a limitation on how many lines of code can be scanned and this is why we are going to purchase a license for an increased amount."
"Pricing could be better."
"There is an annual cost for Tricentis."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a ten. The licensing model is based on a yearly basis."
"If you are purchasing less than five licenses, then the pricing is high. On a scale from one to ten, with one being low and ten being high pricing, I would rate this solution at eight."
"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."
"Tricentis Tosca is not expensive at all."
"The price of the tool is a problem for a lot of Brazilian clients or Latino clients, as it is expensive. Where I work, if one is low price and ten is high price, I rate the tool's price as a ten out of ten."
"Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."
