User-friendly integration with support for Visual Studio enhances GUI testing capabilities
OpenText UFT Developer is user-friendly and integrates well with Visual Studio. The support is excellent. It is easy to implement tests with OpenText UFT Developer. We primarily use it for GUI testing and testing web applications with another application. This is the main usage for us. We also integrate it with the N-unit Framework, and they work well together.

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy
Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"LeanFT's been very good."
"We have UI controls in Infragistics logic that have been identified by OpenText Functional Testing for Developers, but those controls are not supported by TestComplete, which is what I find most valuable."
"When they've been working with it for a while and they see the complexity when you're doing real and tough test situations, then they see that this kind of tool is very, very good."
"The recording feature is quite good as it helps us to find out how things are working."
"The most valuable feature is the Object Model, where you can directly pull up the object as a global or a local."
"Even with the problems that I have mentioned, I think that this is one of the best solutions on the market right now."
"The solution helps to accelerate software testing automation. It will help to reduce lead time and increase productivity and efficiency."
"With the experience that I have, I think that it's very good, and I would recommend this solution to others."
"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."
"Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."
"My advice to others is if they are using any Oracle Cloud Fusion-based or on-premise-based application, this is a good solution to use."
"This product can facilitate the lowering of test execution times for operational people, as the bulk of the repeating test steps can be taken away by automating the EBS regression set in OpenScript every release."
"This tool did a much better job recording the http requests during web load testing than other open source tools."
"OATS provides the functionality to institute a corporate-wide standardized method and approach for all types of application testing."
"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."
"It's user friendly and in-built API support makes it very easy to automate or develop an automation framework."
 

Cons

"Since it was a slightly different way of doing things, it was a little complex."
"It needs to be able to be used on Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers on Macs and not just Safari."
"It would be improved by adding a drag-and-drop interface to help alleviate the coding."
"I have to keep the remote machine open while the tests are running, otherwise, it leads to instability."
"Easier connectivity and integration with SAP would be helpful."
"As far as comparing to other products, the licensing costs for UFT are very high; the maintenance of the service contract was very high as well and, frankly — compared with more modern tools — it was and is not worth it."
"With Smart Bear products generally, you can have only one instance of the tool running on a machine."
"I'd like to not have to use Selenium. I'd like to be able to do headless scripting and not just always be UI serving."
"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."
"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."
"WebForms works fine, but scripting in the EBS forms option isn't very consistent and stable."
"Room for improvement would be for the reporting features. If they could improve the dashboards, that would be helpful."
"I have faced issues with some indexing items."
"We have stability issues with the server logging off when a script runs from OTM."
"It does not provide easy diagnostics to ascertain end to end transaction monitoring."
"Performance is slow as compared to other tools like QTP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is very expensive, so often, we don't have enough VMs to run all of our tests."
"When we compare in the market with other tools that have similar features, it may be a little bit extra, but the cost is ten times less."
"It is cheap, but if you take the enterprise license, it is valid for both software items."
"If I would rate it with one being inexpensive and ten being expensive, I would rate pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price of the solution could be lowered. The cost is approximately $25 per year for a subscription-based license."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high and we are considering moving to another solution."
"Its cost is a bit high. From the licensing perspective, I am using a concurrent license. It is not a seed license. It is something that I can use in our network. It can also be used by other users."
"The pricing is quite high compared to the competition."
"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
