Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"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."
"Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"The most important impact is the reduction in product lifecycle costs."
"We were able to optimize the service organization for one of our clients."
"The technical support is very good and it's close to native."
"You can create one solution in C Sharp."
"Recently, Xamarin has added a lot of features such as Effects, Behaviors, Triggers, etc. This has made the UI user-friendly, lively, and attractive."
"Plugins like MvvmCross make a developer’s life easy."
"It brings about good code sharing strategies, which bring down cost and maintenance efforts."
"The solution is easy to understand and has banking integrated. The shorter development time, the bugging and as well as availability of a lot of documentation on the web. Also the native integration is easy."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"I would like a better user interface."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."
"They need to take a step towards independence from the UI platform. It takes a lot of time to adapt the native controls."
"The worst build issue concerns are the caching process MSBuild uses to reduce the build time."
"We'd like to have some chat support functionality."
"I feel that the Android AppCompat library creates a lot of issues. A lot of development time is often wasted solving these issues."
"Xamarin Platform lacks in app size."
"The solution struggles a little bit with binding libraries."
"Xamarin Platform is missing the code renderer."
"I would like to see hot reload, similar to what Flutter has out-of-the-box. There is "Live Reload" but it’s still in preview and was only recently announced."
