Very good performance and load testing capabilities

There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test. When we use the solution instead of Microsoft Edge, more scripting is required. The reports for structure point or test management could be more compatible with other tools. For example, when I create an application I sometimes cannot generate a report.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the important features, which speeds up the automation testing development with LeanFT, is its object repository functions. Object identification are the most time-consuming aspect of building automation tests. LeanFT gives that out of the box. It helps you identify the objects and after that, once you got the object in place, then it's just about building the test scripts. So it reduces your development time significantly."

"There are many good things. Like it is intuitive and scripting was easy. Plus the availability of experienced resources in India due to its market leadership."

"The solution is very scalable."

"The solution helps to accelerate software testing automation. It will help to reduce lead time and increase productivity and efficiency."

"In UFT, it's a simple click to insert the checkpoints."

"The most valuable feature is stability."

"The most valuable feature is the Object Model, where you can directly pull up the object as a global or a local."

"The most valuable feature for UFT is the ability to test a desktop application."

More OpenText UFT Developer pros

"The way it identifies elements is good."

"Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."

"Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me."

"The performance and load testing are very good."

"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface."

Cons

"Easier connectivity and integration with SAP would be helpful."

"UFT is like a flagship of testing tools, but it's too expensive and people are not using it so much. They should work on their pricing to make themselves more competitive."

"The pricing could be improved."

"Object definition and recognition need improvement, especially with calendar controls. I faced challenges with schedulers and calendars."

"I have to keep the remote machine open while the tests are running, otherwise, it leads to instability."

"With Smart Bear products generally, you can have only one instance of the tool running on a machine."

"The solution could improve by working better with desktop applications and websites."

"UFT Developer is good, but it requires high-level development skills. Scripting is something that everybody should know to be able to work with this product. Currently, it is very development intensive, and you need to know various scripting languages. It would be good if the development effort could be cut short, and it can be scriptless like Tosca. It will help in more adoption because not every team has people with a software engineering background. If it is scriptless, the analysts who wear multiple hats and come from different backgrounds can also use it in a friendly manner. It is also quite expensive."

More OpenText UFT Developer cons

"The charts need to be more detailed and customizable."

"It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously."

"Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy."

"I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding."

"There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite high compared to the competition."

"It is cheap, but if you take the enterprise license, it is valid for both software items."

"If I would rate it with one being inexpensive and ten being expensive, I would rate pricing an eight out of ten."

"The price of the solution could be lowered. The cost is approximately $25 per year for a subscription-based license."

"When we compare in the market with other tools that have similar features, it may be a little bit extra, but the cost is ten times less."

"The cost of this solution is a little bit high and we are considering moving to another solution."

"The licensing is very expensive, so often, we don't have enough VMs to run all of our tests."

"It is quite expensive and is priced per seat or in concurrent (or floating) licenses over a period of months."
