Experienced ease in automation with strong support while seeking improvements in low-code options
OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web offers flexibility of deployment, from on-premises to UFT One which is on the cloud. They provide capability for immediate deployment, and assets can be migrated easily. They include enablers specifically for quick migration of test assets. While I have not personally been involved in these migrations, I have observed some clients using it directly while others make a complete shift from OpenText to Tricentis platforms. There have not been many clients moving from OpenText platforms from on-premises to cloud because most shifts have been toward different product categories such as Tricentis altogether.

Low-code testing platform used for API and visual testing as well as AI-based scriptless automation
This solution is very easy to use and this is one of the solutions best features. It has integrated seamlessly with our framework and provides very wide coverage. It offers very comprehensive reporting and allows us to drill down to the various levels of the automation and respective application performance. What TestObject provides is not available from other service providers. The kind of detailed reporting provided is very good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps."
"The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare."
"We escalate tickets to HPE, and we don't have problems."
"For automation testing, the tool provides the record and playback option, which helps with object detection easily."
"The solution is easy to use. There are features to orchestrate mobile testing, including mobile testing automation. You can test different devices at the same time."
"This helped my prior organization immensely due to the ability to remotely manipulate devices, even by offshore vendors."
"The solution provides a controlled device farm with the right devices (selected based on analytics), that are readily available (can be reserved), have the right app and can be used for manual or automated tests."
"ROI is definitely present with OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web; these are very capable tools, and there is no reason ROI should be a challenge."
"TestObject have released new capabilities that have helped us to provide a comprehensive solution to our end customers. Customers do not need to provide upfront investment in mobile devices as these are pretty costly."
 

Cons

"With versions prior to 2.0 I found that configuration was trickier than it should be, particularly with aspects such as NV."
"The documentation and user interface both need improvement."
"They should introduce a pay-per-use subscription model."
"It's very new to HP. They need to go beyond the HP world."
"I would like to see more integration with automation tools."
"We need to scale devices easily. Some customers would like to loop in AWS or other cloud providers to check if their devices have the cloud factor. OpenText UFT Digital Lab needs to improve it."
"It's complex, and you need more skills than in most implementations."
"Because of connection errors, we've haven't yet been able to set it up properly at my company."
"In a future release, we would like to have the ARML model included."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product could be more affordable."
"OpenText UFT Digital Lab's pricing is average, and I rate it a five out of ten."
"While the pricing may seem relatively high, when compared to competitors, it often falls in line or can even be more cost-effective."
