Overall Satisfaction with Tricentis Tosca

Tricentis Tosca was the chosen solution to modernize our test automation suite. It was used on certain projects while we kept using a legacy automation app for other projects. It has mainly been used for the web, but also for other desktop apps, some customs, some in-house. Overall it helped speed the automation process.
  • Speed of delivery
  • Rapid automation
  • Onboarding new users
  • Meta data management is hard to follow
  • Hard to govern users
  • Integration with other tools can be challenging and costly
  • Improved speed delivery
  • Improved onboarding
  • Reduce scenario flexibility
  • Harder defect management
  • Good reusability
It's fairly easy to use. Tricentis Tosca provides a great tutorial to jump start your skills. It's codeless, so it will be appreciated by people with no automation skills. It's a bit harder to use when coding is necessary. It's not as flexible sometimes because of this. Overall, it's one of the easiest test automation frameworks to use.
Tricentis Tosca has not been able to reduce the need for manual testing in our organization. It does offer great exploratory testing capabilities which can then be used to create automation testing. If the main focus of an organization is reducing manual testing, I could see Tricentis Tosca be an asset in doing that.
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

Tricentis Tosca is a good candidate for organizations where QA are not yet doing automation. For more functional people, it is a great asset as it is quite codeless. Tricentis Tosca might not be a good candidate if you already have a mature team of automation QA that are well experienced in their tool and already delivering rapidly. The team may find that while this codeless software improves delivery speed, they might find it lacks the flexibility and rigors a coding test automation framework might provide.

Using Tricentis Tosca

12 - Software test automation team.
4 - Requires some management skills, some coding skills to create more detailed tests. Requires governing skills to set standards and have them be respected.
  • Test automation
  • Test Management
  • Exploratory testing
  • To automate processes instead of tests
  • It could be used as an RPA for process automation
It was a great asset to speed up automation process and maintenance. Onboarding is easy with their great tutorials and training. There was a lot of interest from functional people to start doing automation.

Evaluating Tricentis Tosca and Competitors

  • Product Usability
Product usability and it lived up to the expectation in term of test automation but a bit less in term of test management and defect reporting. Price might be higher than other test suites.
Our evaluation and selection process was fine. I think our focus would differ on the implementation side. We would have to change our process to suite how Tosca works instead of trying to use Tosca to fit current processes.
