We performed a comparison between Jira and OpenText UFT One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Atlassian, Microsoft, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."The solution's most valuable features revolve around the dashboard view, which has a burndown chart indicating progress."
"I can use Jira Query Language (JQL) to write queries to see the stories that are there for the current sprint. I can also sort them by assignment. I also use Jira is for burndown charts, which give an indication of how efficiently the squad is performing. I also use the Active Sprints function and a feature called Planning Poker."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It also works well with all the integrated tools that you buy."
"The dashboards are useful."
"The most valuable feature of Jira is the integration with all the different Atlassian tools. They all integrate very easily."
"It was very easy to learn Jira. As a scrum master, I run daily stand-ups, and they are run directly from Jira. The feature that I really love in Jira is called Issue Navigator. It allows me to customize how I want to show the user stories within Jira to my squad."
"The ability to design your own workflows is a great feature."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources."
"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."
"Pretty much 70% - 80% of the Next-Gen Projects features are still to be developed."
"I have noticed a problem with Jira in the Philippines. In the Philippines, there are only a few companies that offer local support, which is alarming."
"The integration of Jira could improve. The solution should be able to integrate easily with other solutions, such as ERPs. There are times the solution can be slow and we have to reset it over and over again."
"It lacks features to cover all testing aspects, so we often integrate it with other plugins or tools like X-ray."
"The features are not intuitive. It would be good if there were templates."
"The solution can improve by including test management functionality in a native bundle without plugins."
"I do know the initial setup was pretty complicated. The user interface could be better organized and easier. "
"When you first start to use the interface, it is confusing."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"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."
"Technical support could be improved."
"[Tech support is] not a 10 because what happens with some of our issues is that we might not get a patch quickly and we have to hold on to an application until we get a proper solution."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."

If you are looking for advanced use cases for integrating JIRA with other systems, I suggest you look at products like zigiwave.com
Their platform is rich, flexible, and support common use cases like ServiceNow, BMC and other integrations to monitoring and ITSM tools.
Hi, why don't you try Selenium? It is open source and it supports automation for SAP, also you can integrate with jenkins or any other open source tools for your CI and CD pipelines. I wouldn't recommend QTP for this job because of these reasons below,
1) The licensing cost of the tool is high, while there are many free tools out there to use like selenium, watir, capybara, sahi etc. depending on your requirements.
2) Integration with other tools such as jenkins, jira is bit tricky in other words it is not straight forward as it involves lot of coding, customising, working with APIs and so on.
3) I believe SAP automation is mostly UI and web based. QTP has improved now by their later versions with UFT, but still they lack integration with other tools. So for web automation testing it is not an ideal solution for standalone apps it might do better.
I'm not a SAP tester but I have lots of experience in testing (with some knowledge on SAP). I have been in Software Testing for the past 11 years. So my advise to you would be to switch to complete open source platform for ease of process in the long run, as you get benefited by both cost reduction and easy implementation. The other thing is, if you want to stick with UFT/QTP due to lack of resources on selenium or other automation skill OR you have more budget you can spend without messing up existing process then go through blogs and links so you can get some idea of how to integrate. You can find many resources online to get help, so hopefully you will get right solution.

I wish you good luck with your implementation and search for solution.

Hi,
Yes, HP ALM is expensive but has tightly integrated with UFT due to native tools from HP.
If you have already decided to go with JIRA, you need to consider following points which are based on my experience -
1. JIRA is good tool for agile SDLC than HP ALM and cheaper.
2. JIRA do not have out of the box integration with UFT scripts, but you can develop a script component to post your UFT automation test results using JIRA REST APIs
3. JIRA cannot store UFT/QTP scripts unlike UFT. You need to look into software configuration tools like GIT or Perforce
4. In CI/CD pipeline usually we use Jenkins tool to orchestrate CI/CD pipeline hence having HP ALM integrated with UFT still need to interact with Jenkins.
5. You need to have good skilled engineers to develop and maintain CI/CD pipeline along with UFT automation scripts and posting results back to JIRA and Jenkins dashboards which usually should provide enough information to make decision on go/no go on builds in CI/CD pipeline. Otherwise automation engineers need to spend lot of efforts to analyze test results and manually push buld to next stage in CI/CD pipeline
6. You need to use JIRA along with Zephyr to manage your test activities like, test cycles, test results etc.
7. JIRA is not much scale-able as HP ALM. If you have large number of test case repository then response from JIRA is much slower.
8. JIRA DB requires maintenance sometimes - like re-indexing
That's it at high level. I can provide more details if required.

Probably not enough details to answer the question. One main advice is to focus on what JIRA can DO, instead of focusing on what it can NOT DO. There is a lot JIRA can not do, and I tend to see people focus on that, not very productive. Even with existing integrations with JIRA, there will be limitations. The only way to get everything (almost everything) you want is to do a custom integration (write your own java code), which would take a lot of effort, cost, and maintenance.
We recognize that many of our customers are trying to reduce their costs by using lower-cost or open source solutions for some of their ALM components. That is why we have built integration with Jira and Jenkins into AscentialTest.
Glad to see your post!!
In the recent Microfocus version does Microfocus one UFT integration possible with Jira. If so How it is possible and how effective it is?
What kind of automation are you looking to achieve? in the deployment ? in the monitoring (we use Syslinkams.com for that)? or else?
Jira is a task tracker, you won't get far when you try to execute automation scripts with it. Automation scripts are triggered by the CI system, and Jira is none. What you want is probably Jenkins, it has plugins for everything every built.
