Senior Director at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Automation has delivered strong ROI with AI-driven test prioritization and parallel reporting
The best feature of Worksoft Certify is the automatic report generation. Unlike traditional tools like Selenium or Java-based frameworks where reporting often requires custom coding, Certify handles this natively. We are currently utilizing the 14.5 version, which has modernized these capabilities, though we frequently manage backward compatibility for clients still running on the 12.x version series.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"For automation testing, the tool provides the record and playback option, which helps with object detection easily."
"The product is easy to use."
"The ideas and possibilities that this tool has are incredibly useful."
"Using the existing enterprise tools, like UFT, or even if you want to go open source, you can use them and it's a real user-functional performance, we are able to achieve that."
"In general, in my opinion, Mobile Center is a good product that allows us to do everything we need to automate application testing for mobile."
"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."
"This helped my prior organization immensely due to the ability to remotely manipulate devices, even by offshore vendors."
"The most valuable feature of Worksoft Certify is that it has a codeless environment, so you do not have to be a programmer to use it."
"What I found most valuable in Worksoft Certify is its identification feature, and I also found its automation feature valuable."
"People focus on what they actually want to test and define it in a more detailed way. It shines a light on what they are testing, along with the speed and adaptability."
"What I like about Worksoft Certify is that end-to-end testing becomes faster."
"Overall testing has gone from six weeks down to pushing a button on a Friday; we may come in a couple days later, and the testing is done."
"One of the biggest advantages for this solution is codeless automation. Because it is codeless, you can train people within a couple of hours."
"For this SAP upgrade or implementation, the business users are creating building blocks in their areas, then they're changing the building blocks into long end-to-end scripts to do a complete end-to-end testing to speed up the UAT. It definitely has a bigger coverage of UAT testing."
"We are able to scale up the testing and to address more business-driven projects using Worksoft, which would not be possible with any other tools."
 

Cons

"For the most part, the key challenge is ensuring that customers fully utilize the product as intended and adopt the appropriate frameworks to implement the solutions effectively."
"I would like to see more integration with automation tools."
"It's very new to HP. They need to go beyond the HP world."
"It's complex, and you need more skills than in most implementations."
"Digital Lab is a pretty solid product with areas that could be continuously improved on."
"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."
"We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it."
"I think the interface is not very good and I have used other solutions that are easier to learn."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where certain improvements are required."
"I know that we did do some automation, what we call "bots," with Worksoft, and it was clunkier than some of the RPA tools that are currently on the market."
"I chose seven out of ten because, while Worksoft Certify is strong in SAP automation and end-to-end business process testing, there are a few areas where I experience limitations in day-to-day usage."
"The execution time which is happening with Worksoft Certify is a bit low compared to Playwright and all."
"The only thing I don't like - and this is the only complaint I usually have for Worksoft - is that the first-level support is not always the best for working on topics."
"It is very easy to use, but there are some places where they need to improve their security. E.g., the BPP tool is just a URL, which does not ask you for a username and password. Anyone can login and can see it."
"The overall speed and performance of this solution could be improved. In a future release, it would be useful to be able to do API testing."
"I would like BPP to have more filtering options during the report creation. This would make our customers happy."
 

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."
"Cost-wise, compared with other tools, it is a great product."
"This solution has enabled our clients to automate and save time (approximately 40 to 50 percent)."
"We have seen ROI by being able to free up and give time back to the business for other value-added work."
"We save probably 50 percent of our time. The tool does what it's supposed to do, and we are able to actually work."
"In general, they changed their license model. Before you had to buy licenses for each component, and now they changed it so you can buy a license and use it for nearly all their applications."
"By using automation, it reduced about 75 percent of the time when compared to any other tool."
"It saves us time: approximately 50 percent."
"The license cost is quite high. This might not be a consideration for a large company, but it will be for a small company. E.g., Tricentis (their competitor) offers certain exclusive use cases where a company can use it in a certain way, so this is another option that companies consider."
