Tricentis Tosca Reviews

Ability to test Java Swing UI on business application.

It was the only way to organize and support automation testing process for our re-insurance tool for underwriters.

Browser compatibility (probably solved in the newest versions).

Version 8 of Tosca had weak compatibility with automation via browsers. Firefox and IE produced issues, unexpected quits during execution of automation test, and during automated clicks at elements. Also, execution of tests was possible at one thread only (at the same time other instruments for automation, like Selenium, allow using multiple threads). But probably some of mentioned problems are not actual for up to date versions of Tosca.

No issues.

Not all of UI elements were managed correctly by regular Tosca functions, we was forced to use Custom Controls for doing that.

Eight out of 10.

A bit complex.

We were forced to use a custom version of IBM Java and custom controls for managing of Java Swing UI elements. Some time was required to understand how to link all this stuff with Tosca (most of our questions were ultimately answered in Tosca documentation). Time for first setups was three to four hours, per employee’s laptop, but after some attempts it was shortened to one hour.

Yes I can recommend Tosca, especially for Java Swing applications.

AutoIt.

User friendly, Model Based Test Automation.

It makes testing easy. Specially when we need to test lengthy Oracle R12 End to End flows. Tosca is really helpful. Easy to maintain test cases and Execution as well.

Dashboard for results still need to be improve in Tosca Test Suite

1 year

Sometime compatibility issues with Oracle forms.

98% Stability is fine with Version 9.3

No

4.5/5

5/5

HP QTP, We switched because of maintenance of scripts and test cases.

It was straightforward. In fact it was easy to deploy.

In-house one.

I am really satisfied with the product.

• Dynamic test case creation: Tosca lets you create automated test cases in no time. You can also convert your manual test cases into automated in a matter of seconds.
• Optimize, manage and automate: It lets you jot down your requirements, design test cases, automate and analyse your test results within one GUI.
• Scriptless automation:Testers can test without worrying about writing code.
• Supports both GUI as well as non-UI testing.
• Test case design: Really lets you think about your test approach and strategy, It lets you automatically generate all the possible (and required) permutations and combinations of the functionality to be tested.

We had this huge customer application (Java based) which needed to be tested end to end. Tosca let us execute around 400 test cases overnight. Hence, it saved a lot of time and brought value for our - and the vendor's :) - esteemed client.

Tricentis has vast and helpful documentation, including the Tosca manuals, along with a detailed description of each section that also contains various tips and techniques. Along with this documentation Tricentis has provided some videos, which are really helpful and help us understand the concept very quickly (and if we want to go into detail, then we can always refer to the detailed manual later).

It would be great if there are more video tutorials on the vendor's support website, at least for commonly used functionalities.

It's been over five years now; have been using it since version 7.6.

I have not encountered any deployment issues in my project.

I have not yet encountered any stability issues.

Customer service is excellent.

Technical support is excellent.

The vendors' videos and webinars are of great help, so I would like them to keep coming up with more.

Tosca Continuous Integration (Tosca CI) - today's fast pace agile environment needs fast feedback. Working along with the development team and being able to test as soon as the code is available; gives the organisation an edge!

Tosca Continuous Integration allows you to exactly achieve that.

We have implemented Tosca CI, it allows us to test as soon as the code is deployed into the lower environment. Automated sanity, smoke tests have been configured to run every time there is a code deployment. The sanity/smoke tests are triggered automatically from a build server. After the test finishes, a Junit result file is generated and fed back to the build server.

This saves us significant amount of time by avoiding additional co-ordination/follow-ups required for sanity/smoke test. 

The Junit result file gets overwritten each time the build is triggered from Jenkins or Bamboo. It would be nice to have the result XML files stored.

Only minor issues.

The connection between the CI client and remote machine dropped off when certain standard Tosca modules were used in the test cases.

Example: TC Send Key, TC Name To Buffer

No issues so far.

Customer service is reasonably good.

There were a few hiccups on the way with the configuration files. 

Tricentis Tosca is a fast-pace, ever-evolving test automation tool that can solve today's testing requirements and provide fast feedback. The recent version of Tosca introduces a number of exciting features, such as:

• Web analytics
• Better identification of test objects
• Record manual and automated test cases

• Easier to maintain than any other tool in the class
• Fast turnaround
• Ease of integration with third-party tools

Run time test execution status: They have improved on this a bit by introducing a progress bar. However, it can be further improved.

I have used it for 3.5 years.

I encountered deployment issues. However, their support is reasonably good and after some investigation, they finally resolved the problem.

I only encountered stability issues with versions lower than 8.x.

The current version is fairly stable.

I have not encountered any scalability issues.; it is very easy to scale.

Customer service is reasonably good. The live chat facility works just fine.

I have experienced that the tech support team is a mix of experienced and relatively newer staff. Most of the time, the queries get resolved.

The staff is nice and ready to help.

I previously used a different solution. I switched to Tosca because it has much faster turnaround time and is very easy to scale up.

Overall setup is reasonably simple. Only a few other settings need to be done before you can start using it, but it depends on what you need.

An in-house team implemented it.

Pricing and licensing is on the relatively higher side, when compared with other tools in the class. However, you start realising the benefits quite quickly.

Before choosing, I evaluated QTP and Selenium, along with Tosca Testsuite.

Tosca has made the non-programming engineers job easy. The concept is unique but indeed the tool is very powerful in analyzing the functional aspects of both standalone and browser applications. I had a very wonderful experience with Tosca.

We have one application based on tax calculations and the transactions are calculated based on an Excel formula. We have developed implementations regarding how to implement or automate the application, but with Tosca the predefined modules from the TBOX engine and standard engine made our job to calculate the transactions easier.

Its unique way of test data maintenance re-usability of test cases is fantastic. Also, the support agents from the portal always respond to queries in less than 10 secs, which is very well appreciated!!

I am very happy using the product and also whenever I have asked for remote sessions, the agents always agreed.

I would request that they develop some modules on the classic engine.

I have been using it for more than a year now.

I have never encountered any deployment issues. Tosca is very intelligent in the way they handle the issues.

Tosca is efficient.

I would rate customer service 10/10.

Technical support is 10/10.

I am new to automation and Tosca is my first product.

Intitial setup is straightforward

A vendor team implemented it and they were 9/10.

We have achieved complete ROI.

We were advised to use QTP, but because we are new to programming, Tosca was the best for us to adopt.

There are a lot of features that I love within Tosca. To name a few:

• Model-based automation
• Scripting knowledge is not required
• Requirement traceability
• Usage of built-in aid packs

Before implementing Tosca, the average time that we took for completing regression was about four days. After we started using Tosca, it has been reduced to six hours.

I personally feel like the pricing is a little bit on the high end.

I have been using Tosca for almost four years.

As of now, I have not encountered any deployment issues.

I have not encountered any stability issues.

I have not encountered any scalability issues.

Tosca customer service is one of the best in its class.

The people involved in technical support really know what they are doing. This significantly reduces the amount of time it takes the end user to find solutions.

I was using a different solution, but it required scripting knowledge, which most of my team members did not have.

An in-house team implemented it.

Pricing is a bit on the higher end.

Before choosing, we evaluated QTP, Selenium, and so on.

Tosca Testsuite is a model based automation tool and it doesn't require an explicit framework, unlike other automation tools.

Tosca very efficiently helps us manage the time taken for automation, its very user-friendly and easy to work with.

I feel that the Tosca tool should be improved for handling Siebel applications. My team has tried the automation for a few different types of applications with Tosca. One of them was a Siebel application. We faced the most difficulties in the automation of that Siebel application. Tosca doesn't handle Siebel applications as well as it handles other platform applications. We had to try a lot of workarounds to complete the automation. That was one issue we faced when we worked with Tosca.

Almost 10 months.

There are very minor issues. They can be easily resolved.

Tosca Testsuite is very reliable and stable.

Not much. I Haven't faced any such issues until now.

The support team of Tricentis is really excellent. The support portal and the support teams work and help is really appreciated.

I prefer TOSCA over other tools.

The initial setup was not that easy or not that complex. I can say it was moderate.

It was in-house.

TOSCA Testsuite is a very good automation tool. It supports a wide variety of application automation. This tool provides a very efficient way of automation and also it is compatible with many other tools involved in the testing process like Quality Center, etc.
