Smart locators and small learning curve streamline test automation, minimizing maintenance and boosting efficiency.
Testim has a specific feature called a smart locator. Anyone experienced in test automation knows this is one of the most complex parts of developing automated scripts. The Testim feature automatically finds the locators, which helps us build stable test scripts. Stable scripts are crucial for receiving faster and more reliable feedback. I have also seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes.

Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers
Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It enabled us to cover our app in end-to-end tests very quickly with quality results."
"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."
"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."
"The REST API features allowed integrated testing for select products to quickly make calls and test the UIs with API calls while the CLI allows us to matrix the grid function across browsers."
"The pre-defined tests are a great help, specifically the custom JS test that allows us to be able to use custom code to test complicated elements or scenarios."
"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."
"The product is easy to use."
"The Testim technical support is very responsive and worked with a specific team member on the First Databank side to answer hard technical questions and took enhancement requests as needed."
"This solution allows you to create an entire automated framework where it allows you to easily manage everything in one place."
"Our organization is completely based on automation of the activities."
"Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps, and it is also a product that can be used by business people."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."
"Tosca can give us the UI plus the backend mainframe and API testing within one tool."
 

Cons

"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."
"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."
"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."
"The accessibility reporting features could be more robust to be reported at the script level and allow users to map down to the step level."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind, for instance - instead of going in and out of the editor every time I want to view test data for a test, I could just view the test data in the table, or the ability to copy steps through tests."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."
"The accessibility reporting features could be more robust to be reported at the script level and allow users to map down to the step level."
"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."
"At the time I was using the product, the reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"The record and play is still a new feature and while SAP has been added to the latest version, it is still lacking usefulness for common repository setups."
"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."
"The product is not very stable when used with cloud storage. It is very hard to load the screen, making it difficult to use the tool in cloud storage."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"If you need to improve one of the Tosca engines, you have to develop it in the same language, such as C# and Java, so you need more technical experts to help you."
"The Support TDD and BDD could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."

"It is expensive. There is also the training cost, but it does speed up the process. So, you get a return on investment."
"Pricing for Tricentis Tosca could be improved because it's very expensive."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."
"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."
"They are probably more expensive than other comparable tools, but you also get the full suite of testing tools."
