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.

DevOps Manager at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Has a great quality gate feature and improves the code coverage in your core base

We would like to have more visibility and more documentation, starting with the installation. It needs to be more standardized and explain all the features. We'd also like to get an idea of the level of stability we can get for our larger-sized projects. The notifications from the channel queue can be improved including email notifications. We currently rely on getting those notifications passed onto us and that should not be the case. The customization of different languages would also be helpful. If all the above could be implemented, SonarQube would be the best vulnerability security scanning tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features for us are the GUI, the easy identification of objects, and folder structure creation."

"Micro Focus UFT One gives us integration capabilities with both API and GUI components. I like the user interface. It doesn't require that much skill to use and has automatic settings, which is useful for users who don't know what to select. It also has dark and light themes."

"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."

"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources."

"The most valuable features are its support for multiple technologies, ease of coding, object repository, and ability to design our own framework. The recording playback feature allows those unfamiliar with coding to use the tool."

"The OpenText solution is the best of breed and the best solution on the market for large customers."

"It is a stable solution."

"The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."

More OpenText UFT One pros

"It is a good deal compared to all other tools on the market."

"Provides local scanning for developers."

"When comparing other static code analysis tools, SonarQube has fewer false-positive issues being reported. They have a lot of support for different tech stacks. It covers the entire developer community which includes Salesforce or it could be the regular Java.net project. It has actually sufficed all the needs in one tool for static code analysis."

"Any developer can easily identify issues using the process flow or steps provided by SonarQube. In terms of integration, SonarQube makes it quite easy, simplifying the steps for users."

"The good thing with SonarQube is it covers a lot of issues, it's a very robust framework."

"It automatically scans for code, detects vulnerabilities, and generates daily reports."

"It's a great product. If you are in a hurry and just want to focus on the functional requirements of any kind of project, SonarQube is highly helpful. It enables the developers to code securely. SonarQube has a Community edition, which is open source and free. There are also three proprietary or paid versions: Enterprise edition, Data Center edition, and Developer edition."

"The most valuable feature of SonarQube I have found to be the configuration that has allowed us to can make adjusts to the demands of the code review. It gives a specified classification regarding the skill, prioritization, and it is easy for me to review and make my code."

Cons

"The user interface could be improved"

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

"[Tech support is] not a 10 because what happens with some of our issues is that we might not get a patch quickly and we have to hold on to an application until we get a proper solution."

"The scripting language could be improved. They're currently using Visual Basic, but I think that people need something more advanced, like Python or Java."

"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."

"We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes."

"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."

"We'd like it to have less scripting."

More OpenText UFT One cons

"We previously experienced issues with security but a segregated security violation has been implemented and the issues we experienced are being fixed."

"The tool needs to be more compatible with C/C++ language"

"An improvement is with false positives. Sometimes the tool can say there is an issue in your code but, really, you have to do things in a certain way due to external dependencies, and I think it's very hard to indicate this is the case."

"It would be better if SonarQube provided a good UI for external configuration."

"The implementation of the solution is straightforward. However, we did have some initial initialization issues at the of the projects. I don't think it was SonarQube's fault. It was the way it was implemented in our organization because it's mainly integrated with many software, such as Jira, Confluence, and Butler."

"A robust credential scanner would be a huge bonus as it would remove the need for yet another niche product."

"Their dashboarding is very limited. They can improve their dashboards for multiple areas, such as security review, maintainability, etc. They have all this information, so they should publish all this information on the dashboard so that the users can view the summary and then analyze it further. This is something that I would like to see in the next version."

"The time it took for me to do the whole process was approximately two hours because I had to download, read the documentation, and do the configurations."

More SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."

"The pricing of the product is an issue."

"The tool's price is high."

"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."

"The solution is priced reasonably for what features it is providing. However, it might be expensive for some."

More OpenText UFT One pricing and cost advice

"Compared to similar solutions, SonarQube was more accessible to us and had more benefits, with regards to size of the code base and supported languages. Apart from the Enterprise licensing fee, there are no additional costs."

"The solution has a free version and a license version. The license is priced reasonably, the cost of hiring one programmer is more expensive than the solution."

"This solution is free."

"SonarQube enterprise, I am not sure of the price but from what I understand they are charging a fee. It's is not clear if it is an annual fee or a one-off."

"People can try the free licenses and later can seek buying plugins/support, etc. once they started liking it."

"We did not purchase a license (required for C++ support), but this option was considered."

"The development license cost is reasonable, and we've had no concerns about SonarQube when it comes to cost."

"This is open source."
