Likelihood to Recommend Our testing environment has found NeoLoad to be an invaluable tool. It was mostly utilized for web load testing. Its upkeep and the way various features were implemented were excellent. Because of the test results and actions in various items, the majority of institutions use this program. Additionally, by investigating various load types, it enables developers to test heavy load applications and assist in analyzing the strength and performance of such apps.
Read full review Tricentis Tosca is well suited for packaged applications like SAP,
Salesforce , Workday, etc. It also works well with API testing and Web UI testing. Tosca is highly suited for Projects which require a high level of collaboration between team members across different locations. It's less suited for mobile automation, Reporting, and test scenarios with high input data.
Read full review Pros Simulating realistic user behavior: Tricentis NeoLoad allows users to define the actions that simulated users will take when accessing a website or application. This can include clicking links, filling out forms, and accessing specific pages or resources. This allows organizations to test the performance of their applications under realistic conditions. Testing the performance of APIs: Tricentis NeoLoad can be used to test the performance of APIs by simulating multiple requests and measuring the response times and error rates. This can help organizations ensure that their APIs can handle the expected traffic and usage patterns. Identifying performance bottlenecks: Tricentis NeoLoad can identify performance bottlenecks by measuring response times, throughput, and error rates at various points in the application. This can help organizations pinpoint the specific parts of their applications that are causing performance issues and take steps to address them. Testing the scalability of applications: Tricentis NeoLoad can simulate increasing loads on an application to test its scalability and identify the point at which it starts to degrade in performance. This can help organizations ensure that their applications can handle expected traffic growth and unexpected spikes in usage. Generating detailed reports: Tricentis NeoLoad generates detailed reports that provide insights into the performance of an application, including response times, throughput, error rates, and other key metrics. These reports can be used to identify performance issues and track progress over time.

It has excellent support for CI/CD and Devops environment which makes it very modern but much needed solution It can run in cross browser and cross devices with same test script and again saves a lot of time. Excellent results and dashboards gives nice view into results. Read full review Cons Integration with third-party tools. I cannot stream NL test data to a third-party DB and then plot graphs out of it. Keyboard shortcuts. It is tedious to use the mouse to click everywhere. I'd love to have some keyboard shortcuts Reports and Analytics. Lacks intelligence in identifying patterns of problems MS Puranik Senior Software Quality Assurance Analyst
Read full review It does have a steep learning curve, A tool is often perceived capable of doing only what its user is able to achieve in accomplishing while using it. For this reason, its very necessary if for the team at Tricentis to continue doing the great work they are doing to train early adopters of this fantastic tool. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We find NeoLoad easy to use compared to their competitors. It requires minimal coding knowledge, also it is easy to train newcomers with NeoLoad. It also offers good integration and automation capability where with less code you can automate your testing process

Read full review We aim to renew Tosca for our organization. What we lose in license cost is gained by having employee that do not need programming background. We also recoup a lot of the cost on the rapidity of automation. Only the support we might not use as much. I believe Tosca is here to stay at our organization
Read full review Usability In being flexible to meet all needs, it is very bare bones by design, but this could be a considered a feature and not a bug.
Read full review It can be a challenge for new users who have never used an automation tool. For example, it is hard to understand the layout of the screen and where to find how to update the data. The interface can be overwhelming at first.
Read full review Support Rating This is the only area where we strongly feel Tricentis needs to improve. Their support process is inadequate, representatives are not so capable of providing solutions at one shot without consulting their internal engineering teams. Most importantly, the time they take to resolve simple issues is huge and at many times hampered our work.

Read full review Tricentis team was very supportive. Support is expensive but they helped us at many level. Setting up timeline, implementation, precise questions on automation challenges. We had an account manager and technical people we could as to talk to. Support was generally timely and helping. They often proposed to come on site to help us which would cost more but could be helpful
Read full review Implementation Rating Their documentation is scattered over many places like GitHub read me files, their internal website etc; Support team takes huge time just to acknowledge our ticket No support to automatically migrate scripts from competetor tool into MS Puranik Senior Software Quality Assurance Analyst
Read full review Alternatives Considered There is a learning curve for those who are new to cross-browser testing or the Lambda Test platform to comprehend the features, capabilities, and how to put up tests successfully. There can be resource restrictions, such how many parallel tests you can perform at once, depending on your subscription plan. This may reduce the effectiveness of testing for complicated projects. Neoload on the other side is easy to use and restriction free tool.
Read full review Tricentis Tosca is codeless and therefore easier to use. It's a great tool for people that would start doing automation and have no coding background. It seems like it has the same capabilities as other test automation suites but I felt it lacked a bit of capabilities on the test management suite such as defects test suites organizations etc
Read full review Return on Investment Performance testing is like an insurance. An online store which is not available causes a loss of sales. Without a performance test you do not know if it might happen. The invest into performance tests reduces the risk of loosing sales. The flexible license model of NeoLoad allows or customers to choose reasonable and suiteable rate. Read full review After implementing Tosca we were able to reduce the cycle time that was spent on executing regression tests manually. I would say TOSCA was able to reduce close to 30% of the time that was spent for executing test cases manually. Read full review ScreenShots Tricentis NeoLoad Screenshots Tricentis Tosca Screenshots
