We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT One and Postman based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"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."
"The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"No coding required."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Postman is scalability. We can scale the collection and for the multiple repositories of the collections."
"Postman lets you create, manage, and validate a suite of tests. It has several features to help you organize your test suite. You can also automate stuff with a lot of validations and assertions. Postman supports GraphQL, and you can do various kinds of calls."
"In Postman, we have an option to directly import a call, make it a Postman collection, and execute it in a batch. This feature is very useful. It saves a lot of time. The manual effort is also reduced when we can just pick it in a Postman collection and then run and execute it to get the results."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and user-friendly."
"We can also submit requests multiple times and it allows us to capture the response each time by using utility scripts."
"Good at simulating the API code from a fictitious client application to check API behavior."
"There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT."
"UFT has a recording feature. They could make the recording feature window bigger for whatever activities that I am recording. It would improve the user experience if they could create a separate floating panel (or have it automatically show on the side) once the recording starts."
"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."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"We used to run it as a test suite. Micro Focus provides that in terms of a test management tool as ALM, but when we think of integrating with a distributed version control system, like Jenkins, there isn't much integration available. That means we need to make use of external solutions to make it work."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers."
"Postman quality assurance could improve when doing tests."
"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."
"There needs to be more flexibility surrounding the testing of SOAP APIs."
"I have recently noticed that, for some reason, I am not able to import collections in JSON. It is weird because I was able to do it before. When you create a new collection and documentation, in tests, you usually have to click Save. If you don't click Save, your collections don't sync with other devices, which is something I don't like. It is not clear for the users in a shared workspace, and I usually forget to click Save and end up losing all the collections that I created. I create a lot of routes, and clicking Save all the time isn't efficient. Instead of clicking Save all the time, there should be an option to save everything in one go."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"Version management could be simplified."
"One thing which Postman needs to improve is the documentation. The documentation of Postman is not that great when compared to other tools."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
