We performed a comparison between Galen Framework, OpenText UFT One, and Sauce Labs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."What I like most about Galen Framework are its advantages, particularly its spec language and the spec file feature."
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"It is a stable solution."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."
"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."
"With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies. It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files."
"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."
"Sauce Labs is optimized for automation and integration with the major CI/CD platforms and developer tools. We have an integration with App Center that we're working on. They have a storage API that lets us retrieve APK and IPA, iOS and Android builds off the phone, so that we can continue testing with CI/CD. They integrate with Jenkins, and Jenkins is the main CI/CD."
"Sauce Lab analytics helped us to get detailed knowledge on test cases execution and logs."
"Testing subscription videos for on-demand software, making them better quality and bug free for our customers."
"The abundance of device, platform, and browser combinations/versions that can be used in parallel."
"As stated earlier we use Sauce Labs for a combination of automated testing and manual testing. Therefore the most useful features are the ability to run the functional automated tests via a Sauce Labs tunnels which allows access to applications in our internal network. The second most useful feature is the manual side."
"So far, the stability has proven to be quite good."
"The most critical thing is that this software aligns with our Agile and DevOps way of doing things. It integrates with kickoff scripts through DevOps."
"It provides zero maintenance browser instances."
"There don't seem to be functions available for automatically generating Galen values based on the specifications in the spec file, and this could be a potential improvement for Galen Framework."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"The scripting language could be improved. They're currently using Visual Basic, but I think that people need something more advanced, like Python or Java."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"Sauce Labs' dashboard could be improved by adding more filters and allowing more customization options. There was one instance where the dashboard on the Sauce Labs UI didn't meet our requirements, so we had to use the Sauce Labs API to create some apps and dashboards on our own. The API endpoints could be a little more robust and customizable."
"I can't remove team members that have left the organization. I can only set them as inactive. It would be really nice to clean up my data and delete them from the team management."
"Progress towards reducing application testing time can be made."
"We encountered minor issues with stability from time to time but Sauce Labs continues to make improvements."
"Unable to segregate reports for tests that are currently being developed, and might not be returning useful results."
"An image comparison would be a nice feature to include in the Sauce Labs product."
"They could improve the platform's customer support services."
"Multi-domain SSO is a big concern for us right now, especially as we've been merged into a larger company. I suddenly have teams coming from 20 different domains, and because the main master Sauce Labs account is locked down to one SSO domain, there are teams that can't run a test right now. I've heard they're working on a solution and they've been very communicative with us about it. A solution to that would help us a lot."
