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 feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is the recently added AI feature."
"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."
"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."
"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."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"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."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"The Model-Based Test Automation is the most valuable feature, where you can create reusable components. Even though we are using a scriptless automation tool, there still needs to be an understanding of how to create reusable components and how to keep refactoring and how to keep regression, the test scripts, at an okay level. We are coupling Tosca with some other risk-based testing tools, as well, but automation is primarily what we're using Tosca for, the scriptless, model-based technology which is driving automation for us."
 

Cons

"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."
"There is currently no room for improvement that I can identify as of now."
"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."
"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."
"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."
"The product's areas of improvement include pricing considerations and additional features related to visual testing and PDF handling."
"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"The technical support services are generally good, though there are areas for improvement regarding response time and overall competence."
"The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"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."
"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 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."
"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
"​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
"I am satisfied with the cost."
"Pricing could be better."
