We performed a comparison between Appium and OpenText UFT One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The way Appium server interacts with mobile apps is fantastic. It provides all the information about the elements inside the app, Android as well as iOS. I can interact with the element quickly, just type some text or get some text values from the element - whether it's a drop-down, or web text, or a native element."
"I haven't explored other solutions in this particular area, but what I like best about Appium is the fact that it shares functions with Selenium. The extension of Selenium functions allows me to use all of the methods that exist in that domain, and it just makes it simpler for me. I've been using Selenium for some time as well, so using Appium just seems like a natural fit for me."
"We do not need to pay for the solution. It’s free."
"We develop apps using the React Native framework, and Appium integrates well for testing those apps. The Appium automation framework also has good integration with GitHub Actions and plenty of other tools and frameworks, including BrowserStack."
"The solution is stable."
"The library is extensive so the driver interacts with most functions or actions on mobile devices."
"Appium helps me to do as much as much as I want to."
"Appium provides a record-and-play option, and the commands are the same as those that Selenium uses. So a person who has some exposure to Selenium will be able to write a piece of code in Appium."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"On a scale of one to ten, I would give OpenText UFT One a 10 because it is a reliable product, it works, it's as good or better than similar solutions especially because you get technical support from real people. Additionally, upgrades are always provided on a consistent basis."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"Support-wise, it could be better."
"They should add an in-built framework."
"Configuration-wise, there is a lot of room for improvement."
"The challenging part with Appium is that installation can be a bit tricky. It can be challenging to set up in Android versus iOS environments."
"The setup and installation were a problem for us at first."
"An application developed on the Unity platform, such as a gaming application, objects are moving in that case. Interacting with those elements is still lacking in Appium. Appium doesn't have the internal library to play with the Unity platform. That is a huge lack right now."
"The tool needs to add a dependency manager."
"We previously worked with native applications, and there weren't any good mobile app testing tools. We started working with React Native, which works well with Appium, but it would be good to see better integration; the way elements are displayed can be messy. React Native is very popular nowadays, so it's essential to have that compatibility."
"We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
