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

"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."

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

"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."

"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."

"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."

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

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

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

More OpenText UFT One pros

"The product is easy to use."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"The feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."

More Testim pros

Cons

"I would like Micro Focus to provide more information on their portal about their newer products. The information about UFT One was outdated. The image recognition features could also be better."

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

"Previously, the product was a script-based solution. Presently, the tool offers non-script, no-code, or low-code functionalities, making it an area where improvements are required."

"UFT has a recording feature. They could make the recording feature window bigger for whatever activities that I am recording. It would improve the user experience if they could create a separate floating panel (or have it automatically show on the side) once the recording starts."

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

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

"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."

"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."

More OpenText UFT One cons

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

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

"The product's areas of improvement include pricing considerations and additional features related to visual testing and PDF handling."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

More Testim cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Compared to other tools in the market, UFT One is very competitive. The recent Covid pandemic situation also hit customer budgets significantly, so Micro Focus offered some discounted prices, which is definitely competitive."

"OpenText UFT One is a very expensive solution."

"Its price is reasonable compared to other vendors."

"The licensing cost is high. There are no additional costs to the standard license."

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

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

"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."

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."
