Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."The solution can handle a huge amount of workloads, it's quite scalable."
"The solution supports a lot of protocols."
"I appreciate its ability to handle various internal calls and its user-friendly interface."
"The load testing, reporting, and scripting features are all valuable features."
"It is an advanced tool with multiple options available for the performance system."
"Paramterization and correlation are important features."
"Enables us to test most of the products and projects that we have across all the different technologies, without having to look at other tools."
"The most valuable feature depends on what we're doing at the time. In the past, the greatest feature was the ability to record and play back to produce a script. Another great feature is that we can monitor the system. They also support many protocols to perform load testing."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"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."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"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."
"The reporting is really nice."
"The reporting and GUI have room for improvement."
"Licensing costs could be reduced."
"Sometimes we are not be able to click on some of the buttons due to the screen mismatching and compatibility issues."
"I would like them to lower the licensing cost and provide better support."
"Lacks specific level monitoring."
"The technical support of Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional could improve. I had an issue with the licensing and their response time is slow. They can improve on this in the future."
"We are going to continue to use the product in the future, I recommend this product. However, those who are looking for only REST-based on the API, I would recommend some other tool because of the cost. There are others available on the market."
"Sometimes, we aren't able to see an accurate page view while replying and executing the script. When you are navigating the application side by side, it needs to be displayed on a random viewer. Sometimes we will get a few applications, and we won't get others."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."
"The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"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 can be quite expensive."
