Product discussed: UFT 14.03
With regularly occurring releases, a QA team member can schedule tests, let the tests run unattended, and then examine the results

Pros

"With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies. It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files."

Cons

"Sometimes it appears that UFT takes a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected. Also, UFT uses a lot of memory. On this note, if you are running UFT on a virtual server I would add more RAM memory than the minimum requirements especially when using multiple add-ins. HP is pretty good about coming out with new patches to fix known issues and it pays for the user to check for new patches and updates on a regular basis."

Testers have been able to free up their time: instead of doing mundane, repetitive tasks, they shift them off to automation

Pros

"For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process. "

Cons

"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."

Straightforward setup, built-in features, and scalable

Pros

"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."

Cons

"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."

Automation becomes feasible with diverse application support and faster development

Pros

"UFT provides object identification, which is one of the easiest to use."

Cons

"UFT still requires some coding. "

Useful for validation and functional test cases

Pros

"The most valuable features are its support for multiple technologies, ease of coding, object repository, and ability to design our own framework. The recording playback feature allows those unfamiliar with coding to use the tool. "

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its performance since it can become heavy. "

It integrates well with SAP ECC, but the web GUI could be improved and the library expanded.

Pros

"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."

Cons

"I am not sure if they have a vision of how they want to position the leads in the market, because if you look at Tosca, Tosca is one of the automation tools that have a strategy, and it recently updated its strategy with SAP. They are positioning them as a type of continuous testing automation tool. And if you notice Worksoft, particularly the one tool for your enterprise application, your Worksoft is positioning. I am not sure if Micro Focus UFT has a solid strategy in place. They must differentiate themselves so that people recognize Micro Focus UFT for that reason."

A reasonably stable product that needs to be made easier for developers to use

Pros

"My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years."

Cons

"The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources."
