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

"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."
"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."
"Testim introduces three services covering validation steps, eliminating the necessity to write complex code."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the recently added AI feature."
"The product is easy to use."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"The automating smoke and regression tests have become easier and handier and manual efforts are saved."
"The feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."
"It's stable and reliable."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"Tricentis Tosca can be easily integrated with SAP infrastructure."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
 

Cons

"The product's areas of improvement include pricing considerations and additional features related to visual testing and PDF handling."
"I get a little bit confused while creating new branches."
"There is currently no room for improvement that I can identify as of now."
"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."
"They should have a different license policy for medium and small companies."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better."
"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."
"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."
"I would like a better user interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive."
"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."
"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."
"Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
"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."
"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
"The pricing and licensing of Tricentis Tosca were alright. Many customers look for end-to-end enterprise solutions, there were not many challenges with the pricing. However, the customers who are coming from Selenium or similar, feel they're paying a premium for this Tricentis Tosca license. If the right person is there for the implementation of the Tricentis Tosca, then it is one of the best tools in the market."
"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."
"The tool is quite expensive."
