Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools.
"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time."
"It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."
"The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"The solution has good out-of-the-box protocols."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"The best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."
"I like the fact that you can record and play the record of your step scripts, and UFT One creates the steps for you in the code base. After that, you can alter the code, and it's more of a natural language code."
"With Sauce Labs, we have a whole universe of devices: Galaxy, all the iPhones, and all the operating system versions. All our software developers are able to test on a multitude of different devices."
"I find that the multitude of browser and OS versions are very helpful for broadening testing scope."
"Testing my app on cloud has really helped us with save time and resources to procure various hardware and software, and set those up."
"Easy to integrate with the other platform for tracking purposes."
"Since this is an all-in-one testing site, we are able to take advantage of the browser OS combinations, mobile emulators and simulators, and real mobile devices. This is important to us since we have a variety of users, browsers, OS, etc."
"With only a few clicks, it gives us the availability to use any browser and OS combination whenever we want."
"Sauce Labs' dashboards contain multiple useful metrics in one place. Everything is represented to us visually on the dashboard, which helps us understand where to focus our attention, what the issues are, and what we need to resolve."
"It provides a comprehensive selection of browsers and platform versions for our test automations and CI/CD pipeline process. It also provides a comprehensive set of virtual mobile devices, which we can configure for our automation and availability. These features are valuable for us when it comes to testing our applications. We have a website and mobile applications that we want to test and diversify to various browsers and mobile devices as well as restore various versions. This helps us to find bugs that users might be facing and correct them."
"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."
"Technical support could be improved."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"Micro Focus UFT One could improve by having more maintenance. Every time when we run the solution and develop something, the next time when we run it it doesn't recognize the object. I have to redesign the object again and then run the solution. It's really a headache, it's not consistent."
"We have faced challenges with the availability of mobile devices. There was once or twice where there were no mobile devices available."
"It should provide more examples of script code."
"The pricing model of Sauce Labs could be more flexible. Sauce Labs has just one price for the type of solution and a set number of devices. Other solutions have a fee for the base solution and an additional cost per device. If you're a smaller organization, you have to consider your needs. Some smaller companies still need to test various devices, so my advice is to start small and scale up as needed. We had initially planned to start big, but that would have been a big waste."
"Unable to segregate reports for tests that are currently being developed, and might not be returning useful results."
"Sauce Labs needs to be improved in the different platforms for farm testing, like iOS and Android farm testing and farm testing web browsers."
"User account management needs an overhauls, allowing for user groups rather than just a hierarchy structure."
"I would like to see improved network connectivity and it should allow playback for native apps."
"The ability to install profiles on iOS real mobile devices should be included."
