Automation becomes feasible with diverse application support and faster development
I have used UFT for web application automation, desktop application automation, and Oracle ERP automation UFT provides object identification, which is one of the easiest to use. It requires less coding, has built-in features for API testing, and most importantly, it supports more than just web…
Raghvendra Jyothi - PeerSpot reviewer
Very good performance and load testing capabilities
There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test. When we use the solution instead of Microsoft Edge, more scripting is required. The reports for structure point or test management could be more compatible with other tools. For example, when I create an application I sometimes cannot generate a report.

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 object repository is one of the best in the market, allowing creation of a repository useful for all tests."
"The OpenText solution is the best of breed and the best solution on the market for large customers."
"The solution has good out-of-the-box protocols."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"The inside object repository is nice. We can use that and learn it through the ALM connection. That's a good feature. The reporting and smart identification features are also excellent."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy and straightforward."
"Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface."
"The performance and load testing are very good."
"Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me."
"The way it identifies elements is good."
 

Cons

"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"The tool needs to improve its performance since it can become heavy."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"Micro Focus UFT One could improve by having more maintenance. Every time when we run the solution and develop something, the next time when we run it it doesn't recognize the object. I have to redesign the object again and then run the solution. It's really a headache, it's not consistent."
"The solution needs better marketing, training, promotion, and visibility because it is not visible."
"We frequently encountered stability issues when the browser dependency caused Windows to consume memory without releasing it, leading to crashes during regression testing."
"The charts need to be more detailed and customizable."
"I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding."
"Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy."
"There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test."
"It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"The price is one aspect that could be improved."
"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."
"The price is reasonable."
"The licensing cost is high. There are no additional costs to the standard license."
"The tool's price is high."
"OpenText UFT One is a very expensive solution."
"The pricing is fair so I rate it an eight out of ten."
