We performed a comparison between OpenText ALM / Quality Center and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"You can do your development from start to finish: starting with the requirements, ending with defects, and testing in-between."
"As a stand-alone test management tool, it's a good tool."
"The best thing is that you can see your current status in real time... To see real-time updates, you just log in to ALM and you can see exactly what the progress is. You can also see if the plan for the day is being executed properly, and it's all tracked. From the management side, I find those features very valuable."
"Most of the features that I like the best are more on the analytics side."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is the alignment of the test to the execution and the linking of the defects to the two. It automatically links any issues you have to the test."
"Defect management is very good."
"ALM Quality Center's best features are the test lab, requirement tab, and report dashboard."
"Quality management, project management from a QA perspective - testing, defect management, how testing relates back to requirements."
"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."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."
"We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros."
"We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would take us at least two months. By automating these tasks using Tosca, now it takes five to 10 days maximum. Tricentis Tosca is a codeless or scriptless automation tool."
"Quality Center's UI is outdated, and it's a little bit slow on the login part and different parts of the application. That's why we're switching solutions. I believe most companies are switching to Octane or something else. Micro Focus should enhance the interface and reports."
"Client-side ActiveX with patch upgrades"
"I would like to be able to search easier, not just do SQL queries, being able to do free keyword searches on the data. That's valuable."
"Certain features are lousy. Those features can drag the whole server down. There are times that the complex SQL queries are not easy to do within this solution."
"Sometimes I do run my queries from the admin login. However, if I want to reassess all my test cases, then I am still doing this in a manual manner. I write SQL queries, then fire them off. Therefore, a library of those SQL queries would help. If we could have a typical SQL query to change the parameters within test cases, then this is one aspect I can still think that could be included in ALM. Though they would need to be analyzed and used in a very knowledgeable way."
"We have had a poor experience with customer service and support."
"The version of Micro Focus ALM that we use only works through Internet Explorer (IE). We have to communicate to everyone that they can only use IE with the solution. This is a big limitation. We should be free to use any type of browser or operating system. We have customers and partners who are unable to log into the system and enter their defects because they work on a different operating system."
"The UI is very dated. Most applications these days have a light UI that can be accessed by pretty much any browser; QC still uses a UI which has a look almost the same for the past 20 years."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
