UiPath Test Cloud offers reliable testing with occasional connectivity issues, rated mostly between seven to nine for stability.
UiPath Test Suite has matured over the years and is now quite stable.
 

Room For Improvement

OpenText UFT Developer needs performance, compatibility, and interface improvements while offering scriptless automation to increase adoption.
UiPath Test Cloud requires improved mobile automation, integration, usability, management features, logging, pricing, and enhanced testing capabilities.
UiPath should introduce compatibility so existing processes in Selenium or other tools can work seamlessly with UiPath Test automation.
 

Setup Cost

OpenText UFT Developer is costly with flexible licensing models, primarily used by large enterprises due to its high expense.
Enterprise buyers find UiPath Test Cloud costly but justified by comprehensive features, suggesting a unified license for efficiency.
The pricing of UiPath tends to be on the higher side, which can restrict smaller companies from adopting it.
 

Valuable Features

OpenText UFT Developer excels with multi-language support, seamless integration, and AI recognition, enhancing test automation and productivity.
UiPath Test Cloud streamlines automation with test tools, low-code integration, fast execution, and AI features, reducing costs and effort.
What I really like about UiPath Test Suite is its ability to ensure that any changes made do not affect other functionalities.

Can be used by non-developers, and saves us time, but the manual testing needs improvement
UiPath’s Test Suite manual testing doesn’t work for our organization based on how the QA Analysts do their manual testing and the artifacts that are needed for deployment. The QA Manager needs to track which tests have been completed, the success rate, and other relevant information. The ability to have manual tests show up in multiple projects is a requirement that is not easily done in Test Suite. We have submitted the following enhancements request to UiPath and are waiting for them to address these issues before migrating our manual testing to the UiPath Test Suite platform. * Ability to import manual test cases from an Excel Spreadsheet. * Ability to create release folders and have manual tests under the folders (sub-folders are also needed). * Ability to copy tests between projects (manual and automated). * Ability to execute manual test cases in any order and skip tests if needed. * Ability to assign and see who has been assigned to test cases – need to know who created the test case and who executed the test case as they could be different people. * Ability for the QA manager to see which test cases have been run and which haven’t as well as which ones were successful, and which weren’t. * Ability for the QA manager to track defect cycles for a particular release. * Improving Search functionality – must enter the exact test case name in current search functionality. * Ability to extract key data for artifacts for Release Management or Audit* Test Set or Individual Cases, * Include Test Results (passed / failed), * Include how many iterations a test case went through until it passed.
