What a 5-year comparison looks like
Three cost profiles on the same generic suite. Open the calculator and Opkey and Tricentis arrive as columns you can edit — your suite size, your release cadence, your rates, your quotes.
- Test Automation Tool A
- Test Automation Tool B
- Manual
A new application tab is added to your workspace with Opkey and Tricentis as its columns. Nothing you already have is replaced.
Open the CalculatorThe scenario these figures describe
- One application with 300 test cases (90 basic, 150 average, 60 complex).
- 12 full regression runs a year, each finding about 5 defects.
- 40 new cases added a year as the product grows.
- A loaded cost of $120k per engineer per year across 1800 working hours.
- A 5-year horizon.
Reference: what each category of tooling costs at this scenario
By category only — the numbers the chart above is built from.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Labour | $39,867 | $166,367 | $303,333 | $436,517 |
| Licensing | $150,000 | $37,500 | $0 | $22,500 |
| Infrastructure | $30,000 | $60,000 | $90,000 | $0 |
| Total | $220k | $264k | $393k | $459k |
| Build effort | 143 hrs | 843 hrs | 1,605 hrs | 197 hrs |
What to measure in a proof of concept
Three numbers decide most of the five-year difference between any two tools, and none of them is on a price list. Get each vendor to run a trial on your own application and time these:
- Build time per test case — for a basic, an average and a complex case of yours, from requirement to a trustworthy pass.
- Test breakage rate — the share of cases that stop working across one real release or upgrade, and the time to repair each.
- Time to triage a failure — run the suite against a build with known defects and time how long it takes to tell real defects from false positives.
Enter those in the calculator in place of the estimates, add the quotes when they arrive, and the comparison is evidence you can put in front of procurement.

Open the CalculatorQuestions
Which is cheaper, Opkey or Tricentis?
Both price on request. Enter both quotes and the calculator shows the difference; it does not guess either.
Which one supports our SAP version?
That is a trial question. This comparison models cost, not coverage.
