Sr. Quality Assurance Project Manager at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
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

"The object repository is one of the best in the market, allowing creation of a repository useful for all tests."
"I support UFT as the best solution due to the skill set needed to operate the tool."
"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."
"Whereas, in UFT One, I like that our maintenance costs have been reduced by a lot because UFT One is using an artificial intelligence feature to identify objects visually."
"The best features of OpenText Functional Testing include descriptive programming, the ability to add objects in the repository, and its ease of use for UI compared to other tools."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation."
"Automation of tests is done very fast with UFT One."
"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

"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"When I ran the script for two or three times sequentially, the tool hung and wouldn’t respond."
"I would not recommend this solution to others who are considering it."
"[Tech support is] not a 10 because what happens with some of our issues is that we might not get a patch quickly and we have to hold on to an application until we get a proper solution."
"The application can be buggy at times and takes up a lot of memory on your PC."
"Sometimes you need a little bit more, but then HP help us to find it as they're knowledgeable troubleshooters."
"In my opinion, the improvement of the object recognition of new technologies and the capacity to catch more performance info should be desirable."
"The solution needs better marketing, training, promotion, and visibility because it is not visible."
"When using team city to run offline packages, Press Keys do not work, thus giving errors."
"Licensing and missing import/export functionality was a problem."
"The integrations for this solutions could be improved, specifically for Slack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"The price is reasonable."
"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."
"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."
"The tool's price is high."
"Compared to other products, the solution is very expensive."
"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."
"Pricing is on a higher end but the competition was even more expensive. With this considered, it is a competitive solution."
