SmartBear TestComplete Reviews

It allows me to invoking an application and then to browse the application. I've done some good research with TestComplete along with Google Earth.

I was part of a systems architecture team and we were looking into various kinds of automation tools. We found this solution to be the most complete tool.

More APIs could be added.

I used it for six months.

I didn't encounter any stability issues in my short tenure, although I remember invoking the application twice although there is was an instance already open.

I haven't had to use customer service.

I haven't had to use technical support.

Initial setup was easy, but implementation was a little tricky initially. I could not find any sample projects that I could use as a guide.

It's open source, so it's free.

We looked at other solutions, but this was the most complete.

It's a great tool that covers many features and is straightforward with logs.

• Data driven testing using Microsoft Excel
• Viewing properties of objects using Object Spy
• Organizing test runs using the Test Items page of the project editor

For versions 8.X to 9.20.2460.7, I've been using TestComplete for about four and a half years.

It seems to crash once every two to three months.

7/10

For a node-locked license, it's pretty straightforward. For floating licenses, it's a little more complex because you have to set-up the license manager and do a little bit of configuration on the computers that use the floating licenses.

Test Runs on Chrome. Test Runs are faster than the previosu version.

After NPAPI was unsupported by Chrome, our test runs were halted on Chrome for a previous version of TestComplete. Started running again with version 11.11.

ExtJS extension and reading of JQuery standard modal screens is still not so good. For Automating ExtJS based systems you have to do record and playback to extract methods and no substantial documentation has been provided.

None.

The product is relatively stable.

It is quick.

Not so helpful most of the times. They always fail to produce a work around.

It was easy.

In-House.

Do not buy all the modules at once, if your primary system under test is for example Web based then only buy the web module.

Name Mapping and finding objects at run time. I have no issue because its IDE is simple to use.

• License is less expensive than the other products available in the market.
• I have automated the regression test suite of my company's product.

It has memory leaks. I have seven complete test projects, all of them loaded in one project suite. I don't know why memory increases when I just write the code and check-in/out files from the VSTS.

For last five years.

Often crashes with large projects. File check-in takes too much time in TFS.

No idea.

Community is very helpful.

I didn't switch from another solution.

I would say straightforward, and really easy to work on TestComplete with its simple IDE.

They are changing the licensing structure which is really bad. TestComplete 11 supports all TestComplete modules in one license. TestComplete 12 has separate licenses for each module, Web, Desktop, etc. I hate the new licensing structure.

I have no idea.

It's a really good product with minimal issues.

It has easy recording, understanding, and use without too much programming.

Should improve parts for desktop products.

I have used it for four years and still use it today.

Yes, some.

Good, I only needed it once.

Yes, I had already used it. I changed because I did not have any solutions as close to the real thing as this. Free tools mostly do not resolve the problem.

The first was difficult only in learning how to do it. Going forward, it has been easy and intuitive. We scale projects the best way for the company as we find that the simpler way to do it.

It is expensive, and it is difficult to acquire living in Brazil. They should facilitate this. There are few representatives for this solution with little interest in selling it here.

Yes, JMeter.

It is a great product. Just get advice before installation and everything will be much easier for you. I strongly recommend it.

One of the valuable features is object identification. It provides the different options to users so they can uniquely identify the objects.

By automating the regression test cases, it has increased effective testing process and reduced the cycle time.

I would like to see recovery scenarios.

I have been using this solution for over four years.

I did not encounter any issues with stability.

I did not encounter any issues with scalability.

I would give technical support a rating of 8/10.

When we started using this tool, only TestComplete provided the support of the automation for WPF objects.

The initial setup was easy.

This is cheaper compared to other testing tools.

We evaluated other options QTP.

This is the best tool for GUI and Web Automation.

Ability to test all types of application (desktop, mobile, and web).

In all projects where I participated it helped significantly improve and speed up regression testing, which is usually bottleneck before release.

Since v11 of TestComplete it has all the features I was dreaming about during these years. Probably the only one great thing could be cross-platform testing (Linux, MacOS).

I've been using it since 2006.

No, I have never had any difficulties with TestComplete. All possible issues are also covered in TestComplete's help system and available online.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

It is impressive! What I like the most is the fact that support team helps solving problems not only for their registered customers, but everyone else as well.

In last 12 years I also used SilkTest and Squish. They have some benefits which TestComplete doesn't have, but in general TestComplete overcomes them.

Was it difficult to set up the application first time? No. Or was it difficult to start using it? No, it was easy thanks to its tutorials.

I did everything by myself. There is nothing difficult in it, TestComplete is very user-friendly.
