Selenium and Tricentis Tosca are competing test automation solutions. Selenium is open source, and the most popular script-based test automation tool in the world; users work in Selenium IDE, which supports its own scripting language, Selenese. Tricentis Tosca is available at cost but provides a scriptless, no-code, model-based approach to test automation. Selenium and Tricentis Tosca present similar automation features, but they can be used together in a test suite by test management tools such as Tricentis qTest.
Selenium and Tosca are both used predominantly in enterprises, however Selenium is often deployed at mid-size companies as well. Given that it is open source, Selenium can be learned by anyone willing to take the time.
Features
There are many reasons to deploy Tosca or Selenium (or both) in agile test suites.
Beyond simply being open source, Selenium can support tests written in a variety of programming languages including Java, Ruby, Ruby, C#, PHP, etc., as well as its own Selense language, making it accessible to devs. It supports testing a variety of web UI components, and supports cross-browser testing. Despite being scripted, Selenium is relatively easy to use, and also supports parallel testing.
The primary reason for using Tosca is its major selling point: it is scriptless, or no-code. As easy as Selenium might be, it still requires scripting. Users enjoy how easy Tosca makes it to design tests, and how easy it is to integrate Tosca into a CI / CD pipeline. Also, Tosca can be used to test web, cloud, and desktop applications.Tosca can automate API testing, and offers integrations with Postman and SoapUI. Selenium cannot be used to automate API testing.
Limitations
A few reasons exist to consider looking elsewhere for a test automation tool.
Selenium cannot be used to automate testing of desktop applications, only web applications through browser automations. Because it is scripted, it is accessible only to programmers, and because it is open source it lacks enterprise support of any kind. It may be easy to use for what it is, but learning to use it is a barrier for many. Selenium also lacks powerful internal reporting features.
Tosca’s downsides are few, but first among them is the cost, particularly when open source and free alternatives exist. Also, because it is scriptless, Tosca has the opposite problem Selenium has: competent programmers are sometimes frustrated by it, citing a lack of flexibility and control for complex test automations. There is also a learning curve to arrive at fully understanding the UI.
Pricing
Selenium is open source and free to use. Tricentis Tosca pricing is not published. Tricentis offers cloud licensing which provides a testing environment hosted by Tricentis, and on-premise licensing. Tricentis suggests cloud licensing can reduce costs because it allows the user’s partners in testing to use testing infrastructure without having to provision additional server resources. Tricentis also provides checkout licenses (i.e. temporary use licenses for a pool of potential users held for specific use cases), or custom licensing for special and limited scenarios.

Automation Testing
Comparison of Automation Testing features of Selenium and Tricentis Tosca
When you have to test the UI and how it behaves when certain actions are performed, you need something that can automate the browsers. This is where Selenium comes to the rescue. If you have to test APIs and not the frontend (UI), I would recommend going with other libraries that support HTTP Requests. Selenium is good only when you have no choice but to run the steps on a browser.

I still love to test some desktop applications as well as API's with Tosca. For web applications Tosca is OK but there are better alternatives. As a user, Tosca is really great to work with as you can set up a clean project quite fast. It is also quite easy to make a mess as a non-experienced user, using configurations (but in the wrong way), using TCD (but in the wrong way). It would help if there was more focus on generic test automation fundamentals, many more clear examples and instead of just mentioning the best practices, make users really understand the best practices so they know how and when to (not) apply them.

Selenium is pretty user-friendly but sometimes tests tend to flake out. I'd say roughly one out of twenty tests yields a false positive.
Selenium software cannot read images. This is a minor negative because a free plug-in is available from alternate sources.
Slowness may be a minor factor with Selenium, though this is an issue with basically any testing software since waiting on a site to execute JavaScript requires the browser to wait for a particular action.

We love this product mainly because of its high customization abilities and the ease of use. Moreover, its free and can be learned easily through online communities and videos. The tests are more consistent and reliable as compared to Manual tests. It has enabled us to test a large number of features all in one go, which would have impossible through manual tests. The reports generated at the end of the tests are really helpful for the QA and the development teams to get a fair view of the application.

Tricentis Tosca has consistently delivered value through its model‑based, low‑code automation, strong SAP ECC/S/4HANA and Fiori support, and the ability to reuse test assets across regression, upgrades, and transformation projects. Its coverage across SAP, Web, APIs, and desktop within a single platform reduces tool sprawl and maintenance effort, while features like risk‑based testing, CI/CD integration, and business‑readable tests align well with our quality and release goals

For those who are unfamiliar with coding, there is a bit of a learning curve. There is plenty of helpful documentation and resources but it can take a little time to get the software up and running. Once you get the hang of how Selenium works, and what it can do, you realize how many things you can use it for, and how many processes you can automate.

The Selenium app has a pretty fat community of users. For the problems we are experiencing, we are primarily receiving support from these communities. In addition, there is widespread service support. Instant support is given to the problems we experience when we need Online support. We and our team are happy to provide this support, especially before important deployment processes
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

At the time of adoption, there were not many other alternatives that were even close to being competitive when it comes to browser testing. As far as I know now to this day, there is still little competition to Selenium for what it does. Any other browser-based testing still utilises Selenium to interact with the browser.
