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…

Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet

There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Has transformed testing by reducing scripting effort and enhancing productivity with advanced features

The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic. For example, if a button in an application changes, Tricentis Tosca should be smart enough to detect the change and still execute the script seamlessly. Improvements are needed to ensure it responds dynamically to changes in the application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has good out-of-the-box protocols."

"The object repository is one of the best in the market, allowing creation of a repository useful for all tests."

"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."

"My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years."

"The most valuable features are its support for multiple technologies, ease of coding, object repository, and ability to design our own framework. The recording playback feature allows those unfamiliar with coding to use the tool."

"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."

"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."

"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."

More OpenText Functional Testing pros

"The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance."

"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."

"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."

"Object identification is good."

"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."

"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."

"The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market."

More Ranorex Studio pros

"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."

"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."

"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the Salesforce scanning. There are two scanning for Salesforce applications. There is Salesforce scanning and normal application scanning. Object identification has been really useful in Tricentis Tosca."

"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."

"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."

"Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people."

"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."

"This tool is very easy to use and I think that anyone can come in, having no experience with it, and within four to six months be comfortable with it."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"The user interface could be improved"

"There could be improvements in report export features similar to SmartBear."

"The tool needs to improve its performance since it can become heavy."

"The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources."

"Sometimes it appears that UFT takes a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected. Also, UFT uses a lot of memory. On this note, if you are running UFT on a virtual server I would add more RAM memory than the minimum requirements especially when using multiple add-ins. HP is pretty good about coming out with new patches to fix known issues and it pays for the user to check for new patches and updates on a regular basis."

"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."

"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."

"I would like Micro Focus to provide more information on their portal about their newer products. The information about UFT One was outdated. The image recognition features could also be better."

More OpenText Functional Testing cons

"One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian."

"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."

"For our purposes it requires integration with other products to get out the results in the format we want them. Adding this to the product could improve it."

"I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis."

"When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too."

"Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work."

"The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."

"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."

More Ranorex Studio cons

"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."

"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."

"The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."

"In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows."

"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."

"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."

"They should have a different license policy for medium and small companies."

"The technical support services are generally good, though there are areas for improvement regarding response time and overall competence."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is one aspect that could be improved."

"The tool's price is high."

"It's an expensive solution."

"The solution is priced reasonably for what features it is providing. However, it might be expensive for some."

"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."

"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."

"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."

"The licensing cost is high. There are no additional costs to the standard license."

More OpenText Functional Testing pricing and cost advice

"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."

"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."

"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."

"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."

"The tool is expensive. It has become overpriced, especially after Tricentis Tosca grew as a company. Initially, we bought a license with an annual support fee, which wasn't too expensive. However, they changed the model, and now we have to purchase a license yearly, which has become quite costly."

"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."

"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."

"Tosca is expensive. I don't see small and medium customers going for it. It's always large enterprises that have a big pocket. It is very expensive as compared to the other tools that we have in the market. They should reduce the price by half, and if they do that, they would do better business. From the competition perspective, other solutions are at a pretty similar level. UiPath is also very expensive. One thing that I always wanted was a short-term consumption license. With Tricentis, the biggest challenge is that you have to go for a minimum of one year license, and they also try to sell you a three-year license. It would be good if people can get a three-month or four-month consumption license."

"The price of the tool is a problem for a lot of Brazilian clients or Latino clients, as it is expensive. Where I work, if one is low price and ten is high price, I rate the tool's price as a ten out of ten."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
