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.

A stable tool to help users take care of the implementation phases in their environment

There are a few minor areas where improvements are required, but they are not something that I can discuss at a high level. I will have to ask the team that uses Testim since they can give a better response to what requires improvement in the product. I only manage the team that uses Testim. I cannot be exactly described as an end user of the tool. There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it. There were some trial and error methods our company had to deal with while using the product's documentation, after which we were able to get through the setup phase. I want the documentation to have more information to help users with the setup process. I want the product to be more scalable in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the Help feature in UFT One. For example, if you are navigating a particular window, where there are different options. One wouldn’t know the purpose of every option, but there is no need to search because that window contains a Help button. If you click on that Help button, it directly navigates to the respective help needed. VBScript is very easy to understand and easy to prepare scripts with minimal learning curve."

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

"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."

"For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process."

"The inside object repository is nice. We can use that and learn it through the ALM connection. That's a good feature. The reporting and smart identification features are also excellent."

"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."

"I like the fact that you can record and play the record of your step scripts, and UFT One creates the steps for you in the code base. After that, you can alter the code, and it's more of a natural language code."

"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."

More OpenText UFT One pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is the recently added AI feature."

"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."

"The REST API features allowed integrated testing for select products to quickly make calls and test the UIs with API calls while the CLI allows us to matrix the grid function across browsers."

"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."

"It is a highly stable solution."

"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."

"The pre-defined tests are a great help, specifically the custom JS test that allows us to be able to use custom code to test complicated elements or scenarios."

"The automating smoke and regression tests have become easier and handier and manual efforts are saved."

More Testim pros

Cons

"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."

"There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT."

"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."

"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."

"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."

"They should include AI-based testing features."

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

"There could be improvements in report export features similar to SmartBear."

More OpenText UFT One cons

"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."

"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."

"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."

"The accessibility reporting features could be more robust to be reported at the script level and allow users to map down to the step level."

"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."

"I get a little bit confused while creating new branches."

"There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it."

"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."

More Testim cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is reasonable compared to other vendors."

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

"The tool's price is high."

"The pricing of the product is an issue."

"The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."

"For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."

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

"The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."

More OpenText UFT One pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."

"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."

"The solution is not expensive."
