"It's easy to see different versions of responses."
"This solution offers a free version."
"The tool is simple and easy."
"The most valuable feature is that JavaScript can be included as tests."
"What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members."
"The solution provides visibility for PDF reports without needing to install plugins."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"We like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs. Due to this, the solution has a broad range of applications."
"Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
"I would like to see advanced automation in reference to Postman."
"To get this email reporting function, we have to integrate Postman with Newman. If the two are not integrated, we won't be getting all these things in one group."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"Postman needs more advanced data-driven testing."
"Should have a more improved easy-to-use interface."
"The request encryption could be one thing on which they can work a little bit. If we don't want to expose our production data but we still want to test our APIs on the production data, there should be a way to do that. It is not only with Postman. I think no tool in the market is doing that right now."
"UI testing needs to be added to the solution."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."
"One thing to improve in Tricentis Tosca is that it's not compatible with Excel based forms. Another area for improvement is that the tool is not compatible with OpenText applications. The support and licensing cost for it also need improvement. The tool also needs cloud support, as it's currently on-premises only."
"The solution is expensive."
"Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"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."
