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."

"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."

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

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

"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."

"The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."

"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."

"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."

"The initial setup is relatively easy."

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

"It is a stable solution."

"Micro Focus UFT One gives us integration capabilities with both API and GUI components. I like the user interface. It doesn't require that much skill to use and has automatic settings, which is useful for users who don't know what to select. It also has dark and light themes."

Cons

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"UFT has a recording feature. They could make the recording feature window bigger for whatever activities that I am recording. It would improve the user experience if they could create a separate floating panel (or have it automatically show on the side) once the recording starts."

"You have to deal with issues such as the firewall and how can the tool talk with the application, i.e., if the application is on a company network and so on. That, of course, is important to figure out."

"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."

"The solution is expensive."

"UFT still requires some coding."

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."

"Its price is reasonable compared to other vendors."

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

"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."

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

"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."

"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."

"The tool's price is high."

"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."
