We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution.""The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface.""Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me.""The performance and load testing are very good.""The way it identifies elements is good."

"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.""The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features.""Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications.""Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time.""The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to.""Tosca BI is important to make sure that our data integrity is in check and validated; to make sure our data is good. Our data is the number-one important driver for our company, so if that's not good, we have some big problems.""The low code is the best feature.""It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."

Cons
"There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test.""I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding.""Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy.""The charts need to be more detailed and customizable.""It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously."

More Telerik Test Studio Cons →

"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing.""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.""While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly.""I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present.""The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve.""Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response.""In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides.""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."

  • "We hired a consultant to figure out all the tools in our company and how they fit in our company before we purchased the solution."
