Featured Reviews

Andrew Rorat - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical support should be improved, though it has great documentation
We had a regression run every two weeks. During every regression testing, we had similar issues from LambdaTest's side, which was a huge problem for our tests, stability, and productivity. I had to call them every two weeks and spend two to four hours on one call to understand why this happened. The LambdaTest engineer we communicated with decided that he didn't need to fix this issue. So, I had to create a workaround from my side. This was the biggest issue I faced with the solution.
Don Ingerson - PeerSpot reviewer
With regularly occurring releases, a QA team member can schedule tests, let the tests run unattended, and then examine the results
With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies. It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files. For Web browsers, UFT 12.54 supports IE9, IE10, IE11, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome (versions 31.0 to 54.9), Firefox (versions 27.0 to 49.0). Besides GUI testing, UFT supports database testing and API testing (Docker, WSDL, and SOAP). For the first time ever, HP started to expand the testing capabilities of UFT (QTP) beyond Windows beginning with UFT 12.00. A UFT user can now run tests on Web applications on a Safari browser that is running on a remote Mac computer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."
"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
"The most valuable feature is the real-time testing, which helps you to test your website on more than two thousand combinations of browsers and operating systems."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"The solution's recording option is the most beneficial for test script creation and maintenance."
"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."
"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"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 object repository is one of the best in the market, allowing creation of a repository useful for all tests."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources."
"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."
"I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
"The tool needs to improve its performance since it can become heavy."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"The price is one aspect that could be improved."
"The price is reasonable."
"For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."
"OpenText UFT One is a very expensive solution."
"The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
"It's an expensive solution."
"Compared to other tools in the market, UFT One is very competitive. The recent Covid pandemic situation also hit customer budgets significantly, so Micro Focus offered some discounted prices, which is definitely competitive."
"Compared to other products, the solution is very expensive."
