Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 18, 2024

OpenText UFT One and IBM DevOps Test UI are competing in the test automation sector. OpenText UFT One seems to have the upper hand due to its wide compatibility across platforms and seamless integration with application lifecycle management tools.

Features: OpenText UFT One offers extensive environment support, advanced automation frameworks, and a comprehensive object repository, making it versatile for web, mobile, and desktop applications. IBM DevOps Test UI excels with its API integration and compatibility within IBM's ecosystem, supported by Eclipse IDE integration and effective Java environment support.

Room for Improvement: OpenText UFT One could enhance its browser support for non-Windows platforms, improve execution speed, and refine its IDE capabilities for better file handling and debugging. IBM DevOps Test UI should focus on reducing load times, improving its object matching framework, and expanding browser compatibility to include Linux.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OpenText UFT One can be deployed both on-premises and in the cloud, providing flexibility, though its customer service quality varies. IBM DevOps Test UI is mainly on-premises, benefiting existing infrastructure integration, and generally receives positive feedback for its support, which relies on specific service agreements.

Pricing and ROI: OpenText UFT One is priced higher due to its wide feature set, offering significant ROI by reducing manual testing and increasing coverage. IBM DevOps Test UI is also priced at a premium but often considered more affordable than its market competitors, providing ROI through productivity improvements in Java-centric setups and strong IBM tool integrations.

Hellen Zhang

Lead Systems Tester at Government of Ontario, Canada

Reliable test automation, and test data creation with efficient support

The solution can be improved by removing the need for object matching in the framework. The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run. The reason is that changes were made to how it works with the browser and the startup takes some time. Adjusting those changes to speed up the load time will improve the solution.

Don Ingerson

QA Automation Engineer at Global Fortune 500 Company

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

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. For Web browsers, UFT 12.54 supports IE9, IE10, IE11, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome (versions 31.0 to 54.9), Firefox (versions 27.0 to 49.0). Besides GUI testing, UFT supports database testing and API testing (Docker, WSDL, and SOAP). For the first time ever, HP started to expand the testing capabilities of UFT (QTP) beyond Windows beginning with UFT 12.00. A UFT user can now run tests on Web applications on a Safari browser that is running on a remote Mac computer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."

"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."

"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."

"Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time."

"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."

"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."

"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."

"The most valuable features for us are the GUI, the easy identification of objects, and folder structure creation."

"The OpenText solution is the best of breed and the best solution on the market for large customers."

"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."

"The object repository is one of the best in the market, allowing creation of a repository useful for all tests."

"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."

More OpenText UFT One pros

Cons

"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."

"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."

"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."

"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."

"There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT."

"We used to run it as a test suite. Micro Focus provides that in terms of a test management tool as ALM, but when we think of integrating with a distributed version control system, like Jenkins, there isn't much integration available. That means we need to make use of external solutions to make it work."

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

"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."

"Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers."

"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."

"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."

"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is good but the prices for the products are expensive. A single-user license may go for something like $10,000 to $30,000. There are no additional costs, and support is included within that price."

"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."

"Its price is reasonable compared to other vendors."

"For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."

"The tool's price is high."

"The solution is priced reasonably for what features it is providing. However, it might be expensive for some."

"The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."

"The price is one aspect that could be improved."

"HPE recently extended the demo license period from 30 days to 60 days which was a very wise and popular decision to give potential customers more time to install it and try it for free. Even if your company has a salesperson come in and demo UFT, I would highly encourage at least one of your developers or automation engineers to download and install it to explore for themselves the functionality and features included during the demo trial period."
