Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

OpenText UFT One and UiPath Test Suite compete in the software testing tools category. UiPath Test Suite appears to have the upper hand due to its intuitive low-code environment and efficient reporting capabilities.

Features: OpenText UFT One supports a wide array of applications and environments, featuring integration capabilities with Oracle and SAP. It utilizes AI enhancements to optimize cross-platform automation and is known for its GUI testing and API capabilities. UiPath Test Suite excels in process automation with a low-code user interface, efficient data gathering, and comprehensive reporting. It integrates seamlessly with various lifecycle tools, enhancing its versatility across technologies.

Room for Improvement: OpenText UFT One is noted for its high cost, slow execution, and high resource consumption. Users report challenges with test script complexity and stability. UiPath Test Suite needs better test case management, a more intuitive interface, and enhanced reporting. Both products face criticism regarding pricing, with UiPath needing improved competitive pricing and integration enhancements.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OpenText UFT One integrates well in on-premises settings but faces criticism for complex support navigation. UiPath Test Suite offers flexible deployment options on-premises and in the cloud, with generally responsive customer support, though there is room for improvement in support channels.

Pricing and ROI: OpenText UFT One is costly but offers a high ROI through its broad system support. UiPath Test Suite, while less expensive than traditional options, still faces pricing critiques but is commended for its high ROI due to flexible and robust testing features.

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.

Increases productivity compared to other tools

The reporting could be improved. Often, we need to email a report to higher management, we can directly get the report from there. Also, the error reporting could be better. Building an automation test case from manual cases is easy, but sometimes we feel the process can get lengthy because we cannot create customized functions and the predefined ones are unsuitable for the particular purpose. We need to do a workaround that involves extra steps. I am unsure how UiPath will help with complex processes because they typically have multiple layers of various technologies. It also depends on the data synchronization. For example, if I have posted something in the front end, how long does it take to be reflected in the back end? That also matters because it's passing through different layers. End-to-end automation will be a little bit tricky because there are multiple front-end and back-end software involved. It is easy for either front-end or back-end testing. If we include the back end and front end to create an end-to-end scenario, it will be difficult because sometimes there are different databases and layers connected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications."

"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 ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."

"The stop automation is a great feature."

"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."

"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."

"It's simple to set up."

"It helps in identifying defects earlier. With manual testing, that 15-day timeline meant there were times when we would find defects on the 11th or 12th day of the cycle, but with automation we are able to run the complete suite within a day and we are able to find the failures. It helps us to provide early feedback."

More OpenText UFT One pros

"We could use it for Oracle and SAP and it did help significantly."

"Test Manager is helpful for tracking process steps. We can see which step is failing."

"We can generate our own workflow. In our case, it is a report on the PDF file. In the reporting category, we generally verify a couple of things and generate a lot of reports at the end of the day. It provides some useful details about the data captured from the PDF that we can put into an Excel file."

"Being able to use regular expressions, activities, and attributes is valuable."

"The Test Manager, the final stage of the UiPath Test Suite, is its most valuable feature."

"UiPath's tools are generally designed for business users, so they can be as simple or as complex as needed."

"It has reduced all the deployment cycles of the automation solutions by forty percent."

"UiPath Test Suite is user-friendly and operates as a low-code platform."

More UiPath Test Suite pros

Cons

"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."

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

"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."

"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."

"The solution does not have proper scripting."

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

"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."

"Micro Focus UFT One could improve by having more maintenance. Every time when we run the solution and develop something, the next time when we run it it doesn't recognize the object. I have to redesign the object again and then run the solution. It's really a headache, it's not consistent."

More OpenText UFT One cons

"UiPath needs to improve its Test Manager feature. Defect management and reporting also need improvement."

"The reporting could be improved. Often, we need to email a report to higher management, we can directly get the report from there. Also, the error reporting could be better."

"We have output arguments in the workflow. We can check results only by using those arguments. It would be better to have some more options, such as screen variables. For example, in a workflow, if we want to check if an activity is present inside, we should be able to get the output to UiPath Test Suite through the activity itself. That would be great for testing."

"They could improve the visualization of the product."

"We are able to automate most tasks by using UiPath. Its interface is fine. However, its price is a bit high."

"UiPath’s Test Suite manual testing doesn’t work for our organization based on how the QA Analysts do their manual testing and the artifacts that are needed for deployment."

"Storing the test scripts is what needs to improve in the UiPath Test Suite, as it's currently a challenge to some extent. Maintaining the files is a bit challenging, especially when you need to keep those locally."

"We'd like to see the solution integrate with more code or local frameworks."

More UiPath Test Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

"The pricing of the product is an issue."

More OpenText UFT One pricing and cost advice

"Its price is a bit high."

"UiPath Test Suite is a cost-effective solution. Orchestrator is the most expensive UiPath module, costing around $20,000, but you don't need to purchase Orchestrator to use Test Suite. You can buy a nonproductive version that costs about $2,400. It's a better value than other products I've seen."

"I wasn't involved in the negotiations for the UiPath Test Suite, so I have no information on its pricing."

"It represents good value for the investment."

"When we decided to buy the solution three and a half years ago, it was fairly priced."

"One robot license costs 1,500 euros."

"I am not aware of the exact cost. It seems reasonable, but it is an additional cost."

"Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."
