Andrew Rorat

Automation Engineer at SoftServe Ltd.

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

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

"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."

"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."

"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"

"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."

"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."

"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."

"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."

"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."

More LambdaTest pros

"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."

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

"On a scale of one to ten, I would give OpenText UFT One a 10 because it is a reliable product, it works, it's as good or better than similar solutions especially because you get technical support from real people. Additionally, upgrades are always provided on a consistent basis."

"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."

"UFT provides object identification, which is one of the easiest to use."

"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."

"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."

"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."

More OpenText UFT One pros

Cons

"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."

"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."

"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."

"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."

"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."

"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."

"Their smart testing module needs improvement."

"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."

More LambdaTest cons

"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."

"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."

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

"I am not sure if they have a vision of how they want to position the leads in the market, because if you look at Tosca, Tosca is one of the automation tools that have a strategy, and it recently updated its strategy with SAP. They are positioning them as a type of continuous testing automation tool. And if you notice Worksoft, particularly the one tool for your enterprise application, your Worksoft is positioning. I am not sure if Micro Focus UFT has a solid strategy in place. They must differentiate themselves so that people recognize Micro Focus UFT for that reason."

"The UA objects are sometimes hard to recognize, so the coverage should be increased. Open-source alternatives have a broad scope. Also, it's sometimes difficult to make connections between two of the components in the UFT mobile center. It should be easier to set up the wireless solution because we have to set both. We directly integrate Selenium and APM, so we should try to cover all the features they have in APM and Selenium with the UFT mobile."

"Micro Focus UFT One could benefit from creating modules that are more accessible to non-technical users. Without a developer background or at least basic knowledge of VBScript, using Micro Focus UFT One may not be feasible for everyone. This is something that Micro Focus, now owned by OpenText, should consider in order to cater to business professionals as well. While Micro Focus UFT One does have a recording function, it still requires a certain level of IT proficiency to create effective automation, which may be challenging for those outside of the technical field."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"LambdaTest is paid per execution."

"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."

"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."

"This is an affordable product."

"The pricing could be made cheaper."

More LambdaTest pricing and cost advice

"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."

"Compared to other tools in the market, UFT One is very competitive. The recent Covid pandemic situation also hit customer budgets significantly, so Micro Focus offered some discounted prices, which is definitely competitive."

"Compared to other products, the solution is very expensive."

"The licensing cost is high. There are no additional costs to the standard license."

"The price is reasonable."

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

"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."

"It's an expensive solution."
