UiPath Test Suite is mostly stable and reliable, with minor issues in non-string variables, server delays, and cloud performance.
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 Suite needs improved usability, better automation capabilities, enhanced logging, and cost-effective solutions for optimal test management.
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.
UiPath Test Suite is a premium, feature-rich option, valuable but less flexible and costlier compared to competitors.
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 Suite integrates with tools, reduces costs, enhances productivity, supports multiple apps, and offers robust automation.
What I really like about UiPath Test Suite is its ability to ensure that any changes made do not affect other functionalities.

Comprehensive, good value for money, and a lot of time savings
I discovered a lot of bugs in UiPath Test Suite. If I publish a test case in Test Manager as well as in Orchestrator, the existing test case does not get replaced. It is appending the test case but not replacing it. We want to replace the existing test case, but this functionality is not available. In Test Manager, there are a lot of defects in the ROI report that we provide to the operations team on a monthly basis. It is not very clear and detailed. There is no detailed explanation of every test case. There is only a high-level overview. We cannot download the report from Test Manager. We have to use some other tool, such as Power BI, to view the data.
