We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and OpenText UFT One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"We can write code in Java and it is easy to link to other JARs that we find on the internet, which is very handy."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"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."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"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 solution has good out-of-the-box protocols."
"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."
"Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"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."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."
"The product is comparatively slow."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"The price of Katalon Studio is an area of concern where improvement is required."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"One thing that confused me, and now just mildly irritates me, is that we migrated from QuickTest Pro to HP UFT, Unified Functional Test. After we did the migration, it turned out that we didn't really have Unified Functional Test at all."
"The AI feature needs improvement. For banking applications, we input formatted text from documents, but the AI feature is recognizing three fields as one field, e.g., for a phone number, it puts all 10 digits in the international code or country code. Then, the script fails."
"I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
"We used to run it as a test suite. Micro Focus provides that in terms of a test management tool as ALM, but when we think of integrating with a distributed version control system, like Jenkins, there isn't much integration available. That means we need to make use of external solutions to make it work."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"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."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
