Overall Satisfaction with TestComplete
We are using TestComplete to automate Delphi-based thick client GUI testing, complementing what is done via unit and integration testing. As we are using advanced components like VirtualTreeView, the ability to write our own plugins was decisive in the decision to move forward with TestComplete when we evaluated automated test environments. Pricing is fair and support has always been there when we needed it which cannot be said of all actors in this market. All in all, we are very pleased with TestComplete.
- Accessing components by name instead of coordinates.
- Reporting is detailed enough.
- Summary emails are easy to understand.
- Plugins documentation is partly missing.
- Auto recording is a bit too detailed.
- TestComplete allowed identifying hard to reproduce crashes.
We are using Katalon for web-based applications, mainly because our QA engineers have a strong experience with it. But it does not allow precise item identification in Delphi-based applications and that was a show stopper for us. Having received recommendations for TestComplete, we evaluated it and found that in less than two weeks we were able to write our specialized plugins and start testing our applications.

Using TestComplete
2 - TestComplete is used by Quality Insurance personnel in their daily work, which makes their life easier when it comes to repeatedly apply the same test recipe. It also allows them to have a clear view of the state of the software, giving developers and management more confidence.
