Find out in this report how the two Test Automation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"The inside object repository is nice. We can use that and learn it through the ALM connection. That's a good feature. The reporting and smart identification features are also excellent."
"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."
"The solution has good out-of-the-box protocols."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"The most valuable features for us are the GUI, the easy identification of objects, and folder structure creation."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"[Tech support is] not a 10 because what happens with some of our issues is that we might not get a patch quickly and we have to hold on to an application until we get a proper solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"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."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
