For us, object recording is the most valuable and most used feature.

What is most valuable?

For us, object recording is the most valuable and most used feature.

How has it helped my organization?

We've used it just during a Proof of Concept period.

What needs improvement?

We noticed during our PoC that it needs parallel execution, not execution via ALM.

For how long have I used the solution?

I used 11.5 two years ago, and I just updated to 12.51 one month ago, but I have not really used it yet.

816,406 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

There were no issues with the deployment.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There were no issues with the stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There were no issues with the scalability.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used Selenium. Our clients choose their IDEs and I integrate for them.

How was the initial setup?

It's hard to install the license seat because the web-based GUI is not user friendly.

What about the implementation team?

I implement it with in-house teams.

What other advice do I have?

The add-on I am using has limited resource on-line that makes it a challenge to use. Compared to Selenium, I prefer Selenium. However, I may want to see HPMC before I can make better suggestions.

The Object Spy feature is the most valuable to us because we can spy on controls in our mobile application and view their properties and values. I'd like a quicker version of it.

What is most valuable?

The Object Spy in UFT is very valuable for spying on controls in our mobile application and viewing their properties and values.

What needs improvement?

I would like a version that works quicker. Also, a lot of people can't afford it because it's expensive.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using it for two years. Each project is different, and it is sometimes two months or six months at once.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

I haven't encountered any issues with deployment.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's stable, and there's no issues with instability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We've scaled just fine, and there's no issues here.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support was very helpful and good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used different tools and a different solution, e.g. Selenium in a previous company. I didn’t choose this product as it was in place when I joined.

How was the initial setup?

It was already in place when I got here, so I don't know if the initial setup was straightforward or complex.

It allowed us to provide automation test coverage in various areas of an online web application, including web services. However, it needs CI integration with console logs.

What is most valuable?

I found all the features to be valuable. I can't pinpoint just one. It's just a very useful UI automation testing solution.

How has it helped my organization?

It allowed us to provide automation test coverage in various areas of an online web application, including web services..

What needs improvement?

  • More details when run-time errors occur (product related - not user or application related)
  • Proper HTML reports
  • Console logging
  • CI integration with console logs

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used it for approximately two years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

No real blockers. The application we were testing was pretty much covered by the tool.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

I didn't need to use them.

Technical Support:

I didn't need to use them.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have worked with Selenium and TestNG. This product was a customer request.

How was the initial setup?

Depending on the approach you follow, the set-up is complex in different ways. Having an Object Repository that is not stored but built through the run is the most difficult and time consuming task. Custom libraries are also very time consuming to build.

What about the implementation team?

In-house implementation for a customer.

What other advice do I have?

Setting this up from the beginning requires a lot of reading and effort spent. You need an experienced person to set the framework up and it will also take time to implement it so the ROI will be realised in the future.

What is our primary use case?

  • Realizing more test automation scenarios and managing the entire DevOps lifecycle.
  • Running test cases along the entire day.

How has it helped my organization?

The approach to the automation test makes the test activities more interesting and improves the software quality.

What is most valuable?

The ability to base the test automation on object recognition with the possibility of managing the object repository is the most valuable feature. 

What needs improvement?

In my opinion, the improvement of the object recognition of new technologies and the capacity to catch more performance info should be desirable.

For how long have I used the solution?

More than five years.

Supports desktop, web and mobile product automation. Various formats of reporting support should be possible.

Valuable Features:

- Built in object repository and storing elements.

- Less coding experience.

- Reporting dashboards.

- Supports desktop, web and mobile product automation.

- Continuous integration is possible with QC and Jenkins.

- Good customer support.

Room for Improvement:

- Various formats of reporting support should be possible.

Right now UFT supports exporting reports in either HTML or PDF in short or detailed format. If exporting reports could be extended to Excel, csv, XML, XSLT, mht formats that would be greatly appreciated.

- They should improve performance and consistency during execution.

There will be performance degradation on the test environment due to long continuous executions of automation scripts which leads to inconsistency of results, a better way to resolve this problem should be addressed at some point.
