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."Whenever I speak to the support team of Katalon Studio, I learn that some new features will be included in the product. It is a scalable product."
"The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"Smart Wait and XPath healing are valuable features."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"The tool is easy to use. The product gives me the flexibility to use Selenium. I can also use my Java capabilities in the solution."
"Our clients have requested by all types of testing, including mobile, desktop, and API testing and all of those are covered by Katalon. I find that very valuable, very complete."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge."
"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."
"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"The inside object repository is nice. We can use that and learn it through the ALM connection. That's a good feature. The reporting and smart identification features are also excellent."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"The solution is expensive."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers."
"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 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."
"The solution does not have proper scripting."
"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."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
