Used for integration automation, user-based automation, and web automation

The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts. The solution has introduced a new feature that helps us identify objects we cannot normally identify. It gives you a fair idea of objects, resolving the object recognition issue. The solution can be used to perform different tests on different machines.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."

"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."

"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."

"The product has many features."

"The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#. It's very easy to put them all under one project and use them. The are other features that SmartBear TestComplete has but the competition widely has them as well."

"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."

"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."

"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."

More SmartBear TestComplete pros

"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."

Cons

"There could be API interfaces with this tool."

"Headless testing would be a big improvement."

"The learning curve of the solution's user interface is a little high for new users."

"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."

"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."

"The pricing is the constraint."

"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."

"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."

More SmartBear TestComplete cons

"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."

"Overall, for us, the cost of the TestComplete platform and the three extra modules is around $8,000."

"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."

"It comes with a high cost."

"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."

"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."

"It is approximately $6,000 a year."

"My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."
