Has supported faster test execution and increased flexibility while offering room to improve support responsiveness
Reducing the levels of support is something they could continue to improve. They tend to have an entry-level person that may not be as familiar with the product that fields the calls, which creates another day of delay to get to the level that's needed. This is a common practice across most companies where you call, you get the entry-level person, and then they work their way up to help screen calls so that they are more focused.

Testing automation solution that is scriptless and is competitively priced compared to other solutions
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. Within four weeks, my team was up and running. This was the shortest possible ramp-up that we completed in my entire career The integrations for this…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."
"It has definitely cut down on a lot of time by using this application, as running our ten environments manually would have taken most of the day rather than doing them simultaneously, which saves me hours."
"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."
"A key benefit, obviously, is in terms of effort savings that we have achieved using UFT."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"I like the Help feature in UFT One. For example, if you are navigating a particular window, where there are different options. One wouldn’t know the purpose of every option, but there is no need to search because that window contains a Help button. If you click on that Help button, it directly navigates to the respective help needed. VBScript is very easy to understand and easy to prepare scripts with minimal learning curve."
"The solution's recording option is the most beneficial for test script creation and maintenance."
"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."
"The Qualitia technical support group is the best part of Qualitia."
"Qualitia is a complete test automation tool where you can configure multiple test cases at once."
 

Cons

"When debugging code in UFT, it would crash, freeze and hang a lot."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"HP is very strong on the testing side, but in the last few years with the agile methodology it has lagged behind."
"When the number of automation tests are very high, say 5000 to 10000, even with eight to 10 licenses, UFT can take over 24 hours for execution."
"Cost is the biggest issue with UFT. It is not cheap."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"The integrations for this solutions could be improved, specifically for Slack."
"Licensing and missing import/export functionality was a problem."
"When using team city to run offline packages, Press Keys do not work, thus giving errors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
"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.""
"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."
"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."
"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."
"Pricing is on a higher end but the competition was even more expensive. With this considered, it is a competitive solution."
