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

"​Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"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."
"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."
"Since I started, we invested in UFT and automation and we have significantly reduced our release cycle time."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"UFT is easy to use so the QA team is not required to have much programming skills."
"The Qualitia technical support group is the best part of Qualitia."
"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."
"Qualitia is a complete test automation tool where you can configure multiple test cases at once."
 

Cons

"You have to deal with issues such as the firewall and how can the tool talk with the application, i.e., if the application is on a company network and so on. That, of course, is important to figure out."
"The problem with the solution is that you need to have highly specialized skills in order to make the scripts."
"The user interface could be improved"
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"There could be improvements in report export features similar to SmartBear."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"The solution works for the most part, but the IDE is horrible (although I hear version 12 has a revamped IDE and is much better) and as a result of VBScript being the language, there is no stack trace information available so debugging some errors is not an easy task."
"Sometimes you need a little bit more, but then HP help us to find it as they're knowledgeable troubleshooters."
"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

"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"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.""
"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."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The price is reasonable."
"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
"Pricing is on a higher end but the competition was even more expensive. With this considered, it is a competitive solution."
