Featured Reviews

Andrew Rorat - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical support should be improved, though it has great documentation
We had a regression run every two weeks. During every regression testing, we had similar issues from LambdaTest's side, which was a huge problem for our tests, stability, and productivity. I had to call them every two weeks and spend two to four hours on one call to understand why this happened. The LambdaTest engineer we communicated with decided that he didn't need to fix this issue. So, I had to create a workaround from my side. This was the biggest issue I faced with the solution.
Don Ingerson - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."
"I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"It is a stable solution."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation."
"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"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."
 

Cons

"I think Lambdatest is a valuable tool for our team and things that have room for improvement would be mobile app testing, as it can be an important addition to the tool."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"There could be improvements in report export features similar to SmartBear."
"One thing that confused me, and now just mildly irritates me, is that we migrated from QuickTest Pro to HP UFT, Unified Functional Test. After we did the migration, it turned out that we didn't really have Unified Functional Test at all."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers."
"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."
"The solution needs better marketing, training, promotion, and visibility because it is not visible."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"This is an affordable product."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"Its price is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."
"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."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"The price is reasonable."
"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."
