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

"Testim introduces three services covering validation steps, eliminating the necessity to write complex code."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"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."
"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."
"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."
"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 feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten as I am satisfied with it."
"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"The scriptless automation tool is one of the important features."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
 

Cons

"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."
"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."
"There is currently no room for improvement that I can identify as of now."
"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."
"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."
"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."
"I get a little bit confused while creating new branches."
"The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work."
"We faced some hardships in implementing the solution because of integration."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"It can be quite expensive."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
"It is expensive."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"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."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."
"Tricentis Tosca is not expensive at all."
"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."
