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 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."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"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."
"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the recently added AI feature."
"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."
"The feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."
"The product is very useful in keeping track of test execution and coverage."
"This solution allows you to create an entire automated framework where it allows you to easily manage everything in one place."
"I'm using Tricentis Tosca as part of test automation, so it reduces the test execution time, and this has improved our organization."
"Before implementing Tosca, the average time that we took for completing regression was about four days, and after we started using Tosca, it has been reduced to six hours."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"Every second week we release a candidate, and from two weeks of hard manual testing, we are testing now only a few days (four to five), the new fixed tickets and running in parallel the regression."
"We've found TBox to be valuable for scanning applications and automating test cases."
"The reporting is really nice."
 

Cons

"There is currently no room for improvement that I can identify as of now."
"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."
"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 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."
"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."
"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."
"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."
"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."
"Primarily I'm dealing with customers looking for a cheap solution, and they are willing to try open-source automation solutions. So from this perspective, the price of Tosca is not as competitive."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise, so having free services along with the licenses would be good."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"Getting support from their support team is very difficult; the overall competence of the support has declined, and it's taking a lot of time to get solutions."
"So far, all our issues have had to do with our unfamiliarity with the product."
"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."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can 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."
"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."
"Tosca is expensive. I don't see small and medium customers going for it. It's always large enterprises that have a big pocket. It is very expensive as compared to the other tools that we have in the market. They should reduce the price by half, and if they do that, they would do better business. From the competition perspective, other solutions are at a pretty similar level. UiPath is also very expensive. One thing that I always wanted was a short-term consumption license. With Tricentis, the biggest challenge is that you have to go for a minimum of one year license, and they also try to sell you a three-year license. It would be good if people can get a three-month or four-month consumption license."
"The tool is quite expensive."
"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."
"A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros."
"The price of Tricentis Tosca is approximately Є10,000 for one license. However, it used to be much cheaper, but they changed their license structure. It used to be a structure where if you bought a license you would receive one year of free support and maintenance. Now they only have a yearly license, and that is expensive."
"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."
"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."
