Tricentis Tosca Reviews

We've found TBox to be valuable for scanning applications and automating test cases. In newest version, time of scanning the application has been reduced immensely. Also, there is a lot of ways to identify controls that doesn't have unique IDs, and that process is more stable than before.

TOSCA is quite organized by itself, so it helps us do our job more efficient and quicker.

The ability to create more complex TestCases with "If" and "While" loops (now it provides IF, DO and WHILE statements, but they can't really be implemented the way we are used to use those loops).

I've used the latest version for about three to four months, though TOSCA in general for more than a year-and-a-half.

Some issues with stability, but those are minor errors. Some errors happen without obvious reasons, or they're not obvious to me yet.

Generally, the support is good, but they give too many generic answers. Sometimes the problem is more direct and it requires deeper and longer thinking. That could be a bit improved.

Something in the middle. It's not really for somebody who is not passionate about testing. It's great for somebody who thinks about all the aspects of the TestCase.

Great tool for testing, but only when used by an educated tester or by somebody who's gone through the whole course and had at least a little bit of practice. It's worth it.

The most valuable feature is the UI-based interface for building modules and turning modules into test cases.

It greatly accelerated regression testing cycle via automated regression.

Upgrading from one version to another requires maintenance and rework in existing scripts. This is too much for my taste.

We have been using this since 2013.

There were no issues with stability.

We had to do extensive customization on top of their CI/Distributed Execution engine in order to integrate this into our Continuous Delivery pipeline.

Technical support is excellent.

This was my first automated testing tool.

The initial setup can be quite complex and training is required.

It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

We evaluated several other options which included all the most popular automated testing tools.

Be sure you are ready to support it earnestly with training and focus. If you do that, then it is worthwhile.

While we started implementation with a focus on testing automation, the Risk Management feature is one we are seeing as very valuable in our environment, allowing us to better focus on critical testing.

It has allowed us to have a highly reusable Regression Test suite. We have already been able to run it for an SAP upgrade and plan on using it on a regular basis (weekly) going forward.

The record and play is still a new feature and while SAP has been added to the latest version, it is still lacking usefulness for common repository setups.

We've been using it for about 8 months

We've had no issues with deployment.

We've had no issues with stability.

We've had no issues with scalability.

We have had great customer service so far. Support has been responsive and helpful.

Technical support has been pretty responsive so far. They have provided solutions to most of our challenges and provide work arounds when no solutions were available.

The tool is very different than other testing tools and it is important to explain some of these different to all the stakeholders to ensure they really understand the benefits at their level.

By that I mean that a tester might see benefit in the ease of automation but a business user will see benefit in the risk coverage visualization, for example.

Tosca is a model based component tool and also quite flexible in terms of the customization required for most of the applications, if objects are not recognized. It allows manual testers to pick up automation, because it is a scriptless tool. Reporting is well managed within Tosca and there is no requirement to build a framework around it.

We are only using Tosca for our test automation. It helps the business testers to get involved and be a part of automation. It helps us define the right coverage by defining the scope in the test case design section. This tool has test data management capability along with test management.

• Objects re-scanning (recognizing the objects again)
• Providing features to highlight the objects
• The user guide/help document needs to be improved for better understanding of the tool and its features.
• ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times.

I have been using Tosca for the past two years.

If the Tosca repository becomes huge in size, then you might face performance issues. Tosca crashes many times and the best practice is to keep saving your work frequently to avoid re-work.

There were no scalability issues.

Technical support is available via chat or by raising an incident. They are often able to resolve minor issues. It takes really long to resolve major issues and we have to wait for them.

I have been working on different test automation tools and I was introduced to Tosca because of the technology that it supported for our applications. The current test automation tool was unable to provide a solution for our .NET Windows-based application, which Tosca provided out-of-the-box.

The initial setup was not very complex. The Tricentis team provided support in terms of setting up the project and assisting during the initial days to get us used to the tool.

It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools. They provide different types of licensing like cloud, Node locked, and floating licenses.

We did Proof of Concept with other automation tools, such as UFT and TestPartner, but we found Tosca to be a better tool.

I would definitely recommend this tool. It is user friendly, once you get used to it, and it is easy to implement. You might have to struggle initially to understand Tosca and its approach.

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.

I mostly use the TOSCA Commander to create test cases. I also utilize the Tbox feature to automate complex test scenarios. Lastly, I find the requirements linking very useful in analysis after a release (i.e. test coverage, etc.).

The product is very useful in keeping track of test execution and coverage. This is because it has a feature called Execution List which shows resources and the test cases they have executed. There is also a tab for Requirements where the test cases can be linked.

So, by combining those two together, you will be able to see which test cases are mapped to requirements, and if they have been executed. You will also see the number of passed and failed test cases. It is very easy to use once you know all the features. It barely crashes and recovers gracefully most of the time.

The product, at times, does not recognize objects, especially in web applications. It would be good to have that fixed in the next version. As a work around, you have to use the feature called TBox which allows you to scan complex objects.

I have been using it for more than six months.

The initial setup was hassle free. Although, it would be great if the documentation for the initial set up would include more screenshots and a troubleshooting section.
