Has the ability to use different frameworks for testing although it is lacking in capability options

Setup depends on how you are using the product. In our case, it was quite simple. We did it ourselves and it didn't take much time, maybe a day. We used one person per team for setup, usually an engineer or developer. For each team, we had one person to assist with deployment. We have multiple teams so each team had someone dealing with setup. We now have two people working in the company who deal with the maintenance of the solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Ability to use different frameworks."

"Game testing and the API for apps are good."

"In UFT, it's a simple click to insert the checkpoints."

"One of the important features, which speeds up the automation testing development with LeanFT, is its object repository functions. Object identification are the most time-consuming aspect of building automation tests. LeanFT gives that out of the box. It helps you identify the objects and after that, once you got the object in place, then it's just about building the test scripts. So it reduces your development time significantly."

"OpenText UFT Developer works well with record technology, making it valuable for recording."

"It is quite stable, and it has got very user-friendly features, which are important in terms of maintaining our scripts from a long-term perspective. It is very stable for desktop-based, UI-based, and mobile applications. Object repositories and other features are also quite good."

"The most valuable feature is the automation of test cases."

"The recording feature is quite good as it helps us to find out how things are working."

"The most valuable feature is the Object Model, where you can directly pull up the object as a global or a local."

"The most valuable features are the object repository."

Cons

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."

"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."

"In the next release, I would like to see integration with different cloud-based tools such as Azure."

"The product has shown no development over the past 10 or 15 years."

"UFT is like a flagship of testing tools, but it's too expensive and people are not using it so much. They should work on their pricing to make themselves more competitive."

"The solution could improve by working better with desktop applications and websites."

"There's room for improvement, especially when I compare OpenText to newer tools like NeoLoad."

"The price of the solution could improve."

"The tool could be a little easier."

"With Smart Bear products generally, you can have only one instance of the tool running on a machine."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."

"The licensing is very expensive, so often, we don't have enough VMs to run all of our tests."

"It is cheap, but if you take the enterprise license, it is valid for both software items."

"If I would rate it with one being inexpensive and ten being expensive, I would rate pricing an eight out of ten."

"The cost of this solution is a little bit high and we are considering moving to another solution."

"It is quite expensive and is priced per seat or in concurrent (or floating) licenses over a period of months."

"Its cost is a bit high. From the licensing perspective, I am using a concurrent license. It is not a seed license. It is something that I can use in our network. It can also be used by other users."

"The pricing is quite high compared to the competition."

"When we compare in the market with other tools that have similar features, it may be a little bit extra, but the cost is ten times less."
