We performed a comparison between Galen Framework, OpenText UFT One, and SmartBear TestComplete 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."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"UFT has improved our ability to regression test."
"The solution has good out-of-the-box protocols."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"It's simple to set up."
"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."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"TestComplete has strong reporting capabilities. The reports they generate are really good."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"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."
"The solution does not have proper scripting."
"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 The information about UFT One was outdated.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."
"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."
"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 product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"You have to deal with issues such as the firewall and how can the tool talk with the application, i.e., if the application is on a company network and so on. That, of course, is important to figure out."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."
"Headless testing would be a big improvement."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"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."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
