Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time."
"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"It's simple to set up."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"On a scale of one to ten, I would give OpenText UFT One a 10 because it is a reliable product, it works, it's as good or better than similar solutions especially because you get technical support from real people. Additionally, upgrades are always provided on a consistent basis."
"The low code is the best feature."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot. They keep on continuously improving their tools, wherever we are facing any challenges they are able to provide a solution for it. It is easy to learn, everyone can easily read and understand what is happening with the scripts. Any business user or function tester can use the tool efficiently. This is a complete solution package."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"This tool is very easy to use and I think that anyone can come in, having no experience with it, and within four to six months be comfortable with it."
"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 do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."
"Sometimes it appears that UFT takes a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected. Also, UFT uses a lot of memory. On this note, if you are running UFT on a virtual server I would add more RAM memory than the minimum requirements especially when using multiple add-ins. HP is pretty good about coming out with new patches to fix known issues and it pays for the user to check for new patches and updates on a regular basis."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."
"Micro Focus UFT One could benefit from creating modules that are more accessible to non-technical users. Without a developer background or at least basic knowledge of VBScript, using Micro Focus UFT One may not be feasible for everyone. This is something that Micro Focus, now owned by OpenText, should consider in order to cater to business professionals as well. While Micro Focus UFT One does have a recording function, it still requires a certain level of IT proficiency to create effective automation, which may be challenging for those outside of the technical field."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"One thing to improve in Tricentis Tosca is that it's not compatible with Excel based forms. Another area for improvement is that the tool is not compatible with OpenText applications. The support and licensing cost for it also need improvement. The tool also needs cloud support, as it's currently on-premises only."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."
