Overall Satisfaction with TestComplete

We are currently using TestComplete in my product group but are exploring options for using it in another product group as well. It allows us to fill gaps in our other testing environments (script driven typically).
  • Robust and complete coverage for all UI elements including third party components that we use from Syncfusion.
  • Support is responsive.
  • Frequent updates to software which typically includes useful additions and fixes.
  • It's a complex code that takes time to come up to speed.
  • It can be a bit slow to run the tests, but we are exploring the parallel options it offers.
  • There can be difficulties on virtual machines due to resolution issues, etc.
  • Reduced the number of bugs which have slipped into release software.
  • Allowed us to test the true use model - that is mimicking what a user does.
  • Allowed us to easily evaluate changes in our software to explore what impact they have to view content since TestComplete has some nice image comparison tools.
At this point, I can't recall what other products we evaluated but I know from using other tools in the past (10-15 years ago) that they required massive investment in maintaining tests. There is some of that with TestComplete, but less than I expected and that is a huge benefit.
I can only speak to our use case - which is end user application software for engineering. Windows Forms based. It works well in these cases. Our company has explored using it in other older applications parts of which date back to OWL (Borland) and they have had more difficulties but that's probably expected.
