Testing automation solution that is scriptless and is competitively priced compared to other solutions

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources."
"The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."
"I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications."
"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process."
"Micro Focus UFT One gives us integration capabilities with both API and GUI components. I like the user interface. It doesn't require that much skill to use and has automatic settings, which is useful for users who don't know what to select. It also has dark and light themes."
"On a scale of one to ten, I would give OpenText UFT One a 10 because it is a reliable product, it works, it's as good or better than similar solutions especially because you get technical support from real people. Additionally, upgrades are always provided on a consistent basis."
"The best feature of this solution is the fact that it offers scriptless automation. You don't need to know how to code or program to use it."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be improved."
"Additionally, there are hanging issues where it becomes unresponsive, which can be improved."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"The solution is expensive."
"One thing that confused me, and now just mildly irritates me, is that we migrated from QuickTest Pro to HP UFT, Unified Functional Test. After we did the migration, it turned out that we didn't really have Unified Functional Test at all."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"The integrations for this solutions could be improved, specifically for Slack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is one aspect that could be improved."
"HPE recently extended the demo license period from 30 days to 60 days which was a very wise and popular decision to give potential customers more time to install it and try it for free. Even if your company has a salesperson come in and demo UFT, I would highly encourage at least one of your developers or automation engineers to download and install it to explore for themselves the functionality and features included during the demo trial period."
"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."
"The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."
"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"It's an expensive solution."
"OpenText UFT One is a very expensive solution."
"Pricing is on a higher end but the competition was even more expensive. With this considered, it is a competitive solution."
