"You can record your actions and play them back later."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"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 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."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"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 automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"The reporting is really nice."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"Headless testing would be a big improvement."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"In scenarios where two of our engineers work on the same task, merging codes is a bit difficult."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"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."
"Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it. After that, they tried a new approach with key-tracing, and that didn't work."
"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."
"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."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
