Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
OpenText Functional Testing is scalable, adaptable, integrates well, and requires careful cost and license management for large teams.
The tool can be installed on all computers used by developers or test automation engineers.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.4
Eggplant Test is praised for stability and responsive support but faces occasional crashes, latency, and high resource usage.
Sentiment score
6.5
OpenText Functional Testing stability varies; it depends on system configuration, with issues arising from resource limitations and updates.
One of the key stability issues was that Windows would consume memory without releasing it, leading to regression testing crashes.
 

Room For Improvement

Eggplant Test struggles with usability, integration, setup issues, and outdated features, requiring improvements in performance, support, and accessibility.
OpenText Functional Testing requires enhancements in performance, usability, integration, language support, pricing, and user interface to improve adoption.
The two-system architecture that we currently follow could be better replaced with a one-system architecture.
We frequently encountered stability issues when the browser dependency caused Windows to consume memory without releasing it, leading to crashes during regression testing.
If it could move closer to a no-code or low-code solution, it might dominate the market again.
Incorporating behavior-driven development tests would enhance the capabilities of UFT One.
 

Setup Cost

Eggplant Test is costly yet ideal for large enterprises, with execution-only licenses offering better cost-effectiveness than competitors.
OpenText Functional Testing is costly but valued for robust features and ALM compatibility, needing experienced users for maximum ROI.
There are many open-source tools with no cost, and there are no-code tools that are less expensive than UFT.
It's cheaper than Tricentis Tosca but more expensive than some others.
The pricing or licensing policy of OpenText is a bit expensive, however, it's one of the best solutions in the market.
 

Valuable Features

Eggplant Test excels in cross-platform testing with AI-driven automation, simplifying processes and enhancing collaboration through modular scripts.
OpenText Functional Testing provides versatile platform compatibility, automation features, and seamless integration enhancing efficient test automation and maintenance.
It can auto-heal the test cases and suggest new paths for testing, enhancing our ability to automate end-to-end journeys across various applications.
UFT supports Oracle, SAP, PeopleSoft, and other non-web applications, making automation feasible.
OpenText UFT One offered valuable features by allowing us to build up libraries to streamline repetitive tasks, making scripting much easier.
The object repository is one of the best in the market, allowing creation of a repository useful for all tests.

Empowers effective test automation with comprehensive platform coverage and scalability
There was no free trial in it. So, I studied it through a page that tells how it works. It will be good if a free trial is provided for users.
