Featured Reviews

HZ
Lead Systems Tester at Government of Ontario, Canada
Reliable test automation, and test data creation with efficient support
The solution can be improved by removing the need for object matching in the framework. The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run. The reason is that changes were made to how it works with the browser and the startup takes some time. Adjusting those changes to speed up the load time will improve the solution.

Sr. Quality Assurance Project Manager at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
Has supported faster test execution and increased flexibility while offering room to improve support responsiveness
Reducing the levels of support is something they could continue to improve. They tend to have an entry-level person that may not be as familiar with the product that fields the calls, which creates another day of delay to get to the level that's needed. This is a common practice across most companies where you call, you get the entry-level person, and then they work their way up to help screen calls so that they are more focused.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It helps in automation by using better object recognition as compared to other tools in the market."
"It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."
"As it is built on Ellipse/Java and costs less than other tools, it is recommended."
"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"It is 100% compatible with all sorts of database integrations and is compatible with all types of open source TFT-based applications, which makes it a great product to have."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester, which analyzes the changes in UI elements and allows me to automatically adapt and change my automation testing."
"Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"This tool is awesome for automation even though it is expensive."
"It's allowed us to perform functional testing (to verify a specific action or function of code) for each product update."
"If you're a company that is working with any legacy systems, and you need automation with both web-based applications and terminal-based applications, the solution would be a good thing to use."
"It allows us to automate hundreds of test cases that would normally have to be manually tested."
"UFT One has good coverage of different environments and any Windows application or web application."
"UFT is an expensive tool that can save you a lot of time and effort and provide great value for money if used correctly, but also turn out as ineffective related to value-for-money if used the wrong way."
"As with any test automation tool, the ability to run repeatable tests unattended during off hours saves lots of manual testing hours."
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
 

Cons

"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"With version 8.5 we faced workspace crash issues frequently."
"If you look at today's current context, I wouldn't recommend RFT because there are far more advanced solutions and products available."
"The object repository used for identifying objects can be made better. It has been noticed that the RFT tool is unable to identify some objects, due to which we are unable to add them to the object repository."
"If in the future there is no support for mobile applications, then we will be using it less."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"HP has a policy that software updates for the QTP/UFT products are only available to licensed users with a service agreement. However this policy extends beyond version upgrades to software patches, and the problem this poses is that any potential customer that downloads the tool for use with a 30-day trial license must work with an unpatched version that is often less stable than the patched version in use by licensed long-term customers."
"Because of SAP, I would rate the stability a five out of ten."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"I’d like to see them improve the number of objects recognized without customization, similar to TestComplete by SmartBear."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"I would not recommend this solution to others who are considering it."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"I would like Micro Focus to provide more information on their portal about their newer products. The information about UFT One was outdated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is good but the prices for the products are expensive. A single-user license may go for something like $10,000 to $30,000. There are no additional costs, and support is included within that price."
"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
"It's an expensive solution."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"OpenText UFT One is a very expensive solution."
"The solution is priced reasonably for what features it is providing. However, it might be expensive for some."
"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"Its price is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"Compared to other products, the solution is very expensive."
