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.

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 scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."

"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."

"Automation of tests is done very fast with UFT One."

"On a scale of one to ten, I would give OpenText UFT One a 10 because it is a reliable product, it works, it's as good or better than similar solutions especially because you get technical support from real people. Additionally, upgrades are always provided on a consistent basis."

"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."

"It's simple to set up."

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

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

More OpenText UFT One pros

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

"The product is easy to use."

"Testim introduces three services covering validation steps, eliminating the necessity to write complex code."

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

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

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

"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 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."

More Testim pros

Cons

"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"The solution does not have proper scripting."

"The initial setup is complex."

"Sometimes it appears that UFT takes a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected. Also, UFT uses a lot of memory. On this note, if you are running UFT on a virtual server I would add more RAM memory than the minimum requirements especially when using multiple add-ins. HP is pretty good about coming out with new patches to fix known issues and it pays for the user to check for new patches and updates on a regular basis."

More OpenText UFT One cons

"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."

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

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

"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."

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

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

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

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

More Testim cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"OpenText UFT One is a very expensive solution."

"Its price is reasonable compared to other vendors."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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."
