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

"The automating smoke and regression tests have become easier and handier and manual efforts are saved."
"It enabled us to cover our app in end-to-end tests very quickly with quality results."
"The feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."
"The stability has been great; we can add stable tests very easily and improve our automation coverage, which allows us to deploy a new version into production every few days with minimum manual labor."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the recently added AI feature."
"We primarily use the solution for business E2E testing, as it is fast and reliable, easy to maintain, and allows for the involvement of QA as well as Dev and BA."
"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."
"Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people."
"Improves the software quality in production by finding more defects with automated test sets, before transporting developments to production."
"The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."
"This solution allows you to create an entire automated framework where it allows you to easily manage everything in one place."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The most valuable feature is the UI-based interface for building modules and turning modules into test cases."
"We did a full-blown POC, it was super successful and we were able to automate a large number of our scripts and save a lot of time and also automate a lot of our testing."
"It's been very helpful to have connectivity with mobile, and the tool also identifies some of the actual changes from the recordings on the actual testing suite."
 

Cons

"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 product's areas of improvement include pricing considerations and additional features related to visual testing and PDF handling."
"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."
"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."
"There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it."
"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."
"I get a little bit confused while creating new branches."
"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"Upgrading from one version to another requires maintenance and rework in existing scripts. This is too much for my taste."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"The support from Tricentis Tosca needs to be improved. I have not been happy with their support."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"Some issues with stability, but those are minor errors."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve. The reporting section could be better and some of the new features could be simplified. Additionally, the user management of the client and the server are confusing. There should not be two."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive."
"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."
"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."
"The licensing cost for Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It has multiple features, but to use all of its features, you have to pay for additional licenses."
"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."
"They are probably more expensive than other comparable tools, but you also get the full suite of testing tools."
"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."
"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."
"Pricing could be better."
"The tool is expensive. It has become overpriced, especially after Tricentis Tosca grew as a company. Initially, we bought a license with an annual support fee, which wasn't too expensive. However, they changed the model, and now we have to purchase a license yearly, which has become quite costly."
"We hired a consultant to figure out all the tools in our company and how they fit in our company before we purchased the solution."
