User Testimonials
	Appium	Tricentis Tosca
Likelihood to Recommend	Appium works well for well-structured mobile applications test automation that is particularly easy to leverage when different pages of the app use similar building blocks. If it takes time for some content in the app to be rendered, ask your dev team to add progress indicators and ensure they are accessible. That might be more complicated to do with Appium, though, if there's no good contact with Dev team established so you can request accessibility IDs added quickly enough when needed. Appium supports another locator strategies as well though (such as xPath or iOS class chain on iOS) but they wouldn't work as fast so you may get really slow tests. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Tricentis Tosca is well suited for packaged applications like SAP, Salesforce, Workday, etc. It also works well with API testing and Web UI testing. Tosca is highly suited for Projects which require a high level of collaboration between team members across different locations. It's less suited for mobile automation, Reporting, and test scenarios with high input data. Incentivized Vinayak Bandewar Test Architect Read full review
Pros	Crossdevice: With Appium you can automate tests for Android and iOS both. There is no need to learn more than 1 language. Easy: It's really easy to configure and use appium; it's very useful when you're testing strategy is based on "developers write tests". Open Source: It's such a nice strength of appium, because you don't need to pay to use a good tool like Appium is. Incentivized Javier Cardoso Quality Assurance & Testing Senior Engineer Read full review	Tosca provides a one-stop solution for your test-automation needs. One can use it to automate testing of desktop (web/stand-alone) applications, Mobile(Native as well as Web) applications etc. It is a great tool since it not only helps in test automation but also in maintaining a suite for Manual testing. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	There are a number of expected methods that are not implemented, yet. With a similar sounding name as Selenium with similar functions, people who are familiar with Selenium try to use methods that appear to be available, but give a "not yet implemented" exception when run. Documentation can be confusing. Setup was a difficult process. This may not necessarily be the case once you figure everything out, but the whole figuring it out process was difficult and I ran into many, many problems when I first started. Incentivized Randall Kelley Senior Software Development Test Engineer Read full review	Documentation - struggled multiple times with features not explained very well, or not explained at all The only support is on Tricentis Forums, where, sometimes, based on 'luck' - you will open a support case, and wait few days until you get the chance to speak with someone from Tricentis and show case your issue Incentivized AI Alexandru Cristian Ion QA Engineer Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	I am rating 10/10 because Appium can use with multiple programming languages with multiple Test engines. Also, it works for both Android and iOS. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We aim to renew Tosca for our organization. What we lose in license cost is gained by having employee that do not need programming background. We also recoup a lot of the cost on the rapidity of automation. Only the support we might not use as much. I believe Tosca is here to stay at our organization Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	I would like to give 9/10 rating to Appium because of it can easily integrate with popular frameworks and CI/CD tools, as well as it is reliable, flexible and easy to use. The setup can bit complex in initial step, but once on configured it's very easy to use and enables stable and scalable mobile automation for real and cloud devices. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It can be a challenge for new users who have never used an automation tool. For example, it is hard to understand the layout of the screen and where to find how to update the data. The interface can be overwhelming at first.
