User Testimonials
	SmartBear TestLeft	TestComplete
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Best suited to smaller unit test or tests broken up, couple of forms at a time Not suited - larger regressions test involving multiple systems. - my main regression involving payments has been unsuccessful for the last 3 years despite all working fine separately and while being watched Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	TestComplete is great for working with our non-web applications. TestComplete allows us to interface with our web application in a robust way. Despite the age of our architecture, TestComplete handles the old stuff that's been around a while as well as the newer technology when we are able to implement it. Incentivized Ben Fishel-Brown Test Automation & Security Team Lead Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Would love to see TC be a plugin for Visual Studio. Instead of VBScript or JavaScript, to use C# or VB.NET Easier to set up with iOS. Android is not bad but iOS seems slow and confusing to get up and running Built-in PDF reading support, built in Excel API Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We have bigger test automation pack using test complete at the same time we also think this is not good performing tool for large number of test automation scripts. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	It is usable when you become accustomed to its quirks. Not using it for two months and then you need to re-learn the quirks for some features (but some quirks are so awful that they will never fade from your memory). So, when using it regularly, it is possible to be quite productive, if no big correction in name mapping is needed. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Some bugs were quickly resolved, but most UX quirks of the tool are just marked "as designed". No follow up for enhancement request. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	If you develop a mobile application and your testing process goes in cloud, probably you will face a problem - how to implement a stable connection between your mobile devices and testing servers Incentivized Yury Vakhatov Test Automation Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	TestComplete stacks up against them in terms of GUI and seamless performance. It records each and every step and action been performed in the application and produces a detailed report in a well-structured manner. It can connect and access seamlessly among various databases directly to speed up the testing process. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Improved product quality overall, since automating tedious tests frees up time and is not prone to fatigue When getting started - depending on the complexity of the software/UI tested - it can be a time sink before it brings actual value, and changes to the structure of the UI need to be communicated early, so the changes can be implemented on time to run the automation Once set up, the maintenance cost is low, and the automation frees up a lot of resources especially in an agile environment where there are a lot of releases that would need regression tests.
