OpenText UFT Developer Reviews

The fact that it is so easy to go between UFT with its large install base and LeanFT. Whoever has used UFT will quite easily become productive with LeanFT, but with the added benefit of “shifting left”, to move testing closer to the development cycle.

As the releases come, support for all technologies in the systems under test that UFT currently support will be the obvious place for improvement.

I have not been using LeanFT in a professional capacity yet. I have participated in the LeanFT beta testing program and in that capacity I used the product for three months.

Deployment, as far as it was completed during the beta test, went smooth and without complications. I have not yet tested the installation alongside UFT, as it is shipped with UFT 12.5.

As I tested the product during the beta test period, the product was obviously not completed, but that never affected stability. Any issues with functionality that I had was quickly and resolutely resolved.

In my professional career as Test Automation Developer, I have mainly used UFT. While I will not switch to LeanFT completely, as the products are complementing rather than replacing each other, I will use LeanFT whenever projects dictate that test automation be done during the development process.

Setup simply installs the product as an add-in to Visual Studio or Eclipse. No other setup is necessary. It cannot be easier.

The product is new, but builds on a solution that has a long history. Comparable products do not, in my opinion, have as large a coverage of target technologies as LeanFT has.

Go for it, but do not expect that it will replace all other Test Automation products. This is a complement.

LeanFT's been very good. It's a little more complex than standard testing products like the standard UFT. It's a little more developer oriented. I'm not really a developer per say, but I was able to pick it up fairly quickly.

I think the biggest issues that I've seen, and this is a personal view of mine, is that most of the HPE products have a common look and feel to them. I'd really like to see it be a little more customizable to a use and user standpoint. For example. I happen to be colors blind, so I'd like to see more vivid colors on the UI, and things like that. It would make it a little more flexible from the customer standpoint.

I was formally an HP employee, so I've used the HP products in the past. I also was a former Mercury Interactive employee who was acquired by HP.

It's been extremely scalable as far as the testing that we've done with our customers. They've all been really satisfied with the scalability of the HPE products.

We've gone through the standard customer support and it’s been good. It's not quite to the level that an R&D would be, because they really get really under the covers to fix things.

Since it was a slightly different way of doing things, it was a little complex. It was just the idea of ... this is something new that we have to understand. It wasn't like we're building on a product that already existed, it was right out of the box. It's fairly new, so it was a little more complex that way but R&D made it very easy.

I'm head of testing services and we are partners with Micro Focus.

Since we started using the Quality Center for the integration of all Microsoft tools, things have been much easier for us. Whatever integration we use between the tools creates a complete package of one set of tools. Many of our customers use Jira and Confluence and we can see how these tools integrate even with these things.

The issue with all the integration is that it can become very costly and expensive and we'd like to be able to recommend one single tool that will do it all.

We've been using the solution for at least six years. 

The solution is stable. 

Our projects are generally relatively small and we haven't had any issues scaling to our needs. I'm sure it's scalable in a larger environment. 

We have a separate in-house team that deals with technical support. 

The pricing and licensing can be a bit of a challenge. 

I definitely recommend this product. It's important to define your needs before choosing any solution. 

I rate the solution eight out of 10.

We use this solution with one of the software applications that we have in our company, where we are trying to automate the different scenarios or workflows that we have.

I would also like to see cloud-Ops.

The most valuable feature is the object repository. The objects get identified using the tool or where the different properties of the objects are being captured. 

Also, object identification is something that really fascinates me about UFT.

As I have only been using this solution for a few weeks, I am really not in a position to say what needs improvement. I need to use it more where I can explore all the available features. If I am not able to perform any operation, then I will be in a position to answer this area of improvement better.

In the next release, I would like to see integration with different cloud-based tools such as Azure. Microsoft already supports the internet. 

I have been using MicroFocus UFT Developer for a few weeks.

We use version 15.20 or 1A.

It's a stable product.

This solution is scalable. At this time we have one user in our organization.

We are looking forward to using this solution in the future. We use the trial version and the team is considering the paid version. We have to see how it goes.

I have not contacted technical support. I have not needed to, there have been no issues.

Previously, we explored a few other solutions. One was TesComplete from SmartBear, and the other was Katalon Studio.

The initial setup was straightforward. It was easy.

The configuration that I have on the machine is the latest one. I haven't faced any issues. 

It didn't take long to deploy.

I am not aware of the pricing.

With the experience that I have, I think that it's very good, and I would recommend this solution to others.

Again, with the knowledge that I have in the few weeks that I have been using it, I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

It's a complete pursuit and it's a logical pursuit working with HPE.

The benefits. We're trying to maximize our automation testing, so it's a new authorization for us and we have more time to ... If we automate the test, we have more time to do something else.

We push one button and the tests are completely executed at once, so just have to analyze and say it's okay. It would be nice if this could be entirely automated. For the moment, it's people who have to perform this task.

For now it's stable.

We have just started. We have one person who use it. We have in the future plans to expand it to the whole company.

They connected 2C and UC so we can use 2C for the test and UC for information.
