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

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

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

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

"The best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."

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

"Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge."

"The initial setup is relatively easy."

"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."

More OpenText UFT One pros

"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."

"The solution has a plug-in that supports both C and C++ languages."

"With SonarQube's web interface, it is easy to drill down to see the individual problems, but also to look at the project from above and get the big picture, with possible larger problem areas."

"We advise all of our developers to have this solution in place."

"There is a free version."

"The most valuable features are the wide array of languages, multiple languages per project, the breakdown of bugs, and the description of vulnerabilities and code smells (best practices)."

"Some of the most valuable features have been the latest up-to-date of the OWASP, the monitoring, the reporting, and the ease of use with the IDE plugins, in terms of integration."

"It is very good at identifying technical debt."

More SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) pros

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its performance since it can become heavy."

"Jumping to functions is supported from any Action/BPT Component code, but not from inside a function library where the target function exists in another library file. Workaround: Select search entire project for the function."

"The initial setup is complex."

"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."

"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."

"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."

"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."

"Technical support could be improved."

More OpenText UFT One cons

"One thing to improve would be the integration. There is a steep learning curve to get it integrated."

"I don't believe you can have metrics of code quality based upon code analysis. I don't think it's possible for a computer to do it."

"There are limitations to the free version that limit development options as far as languages."

"The product must improve security analysis."

"There needs to be a shareable reporting piece or something we can click and generate easily."

"It requires advanced heuristics to recognize more complex constructs that could be disregarded as issues."

"I am not very pleased with the technical debt computation."

"I would like to see dynamic code analysis in the next version of the software."

More SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is high."

"The price is reasonable."

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

"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."

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

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

"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."

"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."

More OpenText UFT One pricing and cost advice

"For the Community edition, there is no extra cost. It's totally free. The Enterprise edition, Data Center edition, and Developer edition are the paid versions."

"It is very expensive. Its price should be improved."

"The price of this solution is more expensive than competitors. However, it works better than competitors."

"On the pricing side, it's 3,000 Euros for 1 million lines of code."

"SonarQube is a fairly affordable solution for a larger scale if you have a specific role or specific department for secure code."

"I am satisfied with the pricing."

"The product’s price is lower than Veracode’s price."

"It's a bit expensive for us. The currency rate of the dollar is a problem but it may be fine for other countries."
