We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT One, Selenium HQ, and SmartBear TestComplete based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."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 interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"It is a stable solution."
"There are many useful features in Selenium that I like, and of the new features I particularly enjoy the Selenium Grid. With this, we can run many test cases in one go, and in one suite we can extract multiple results."
"Selenium's open-source nature is a key advantage. Its extensive support for diverse web technologies."
"The stability of the solution has been good, it is reliable we have not had any bugs."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to catch content from website."
"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"It's available open-source and free. To install it, I just have to download it. It also doesn't require too many hardware resources compared to Micro Focus."
"The tool is easy to use and log in with respect to other tools. It is open-source. We can customize the product. I also like its security."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool. It covers all necessary items in the test plan. The most painful item in testing is maintenance. When changes occur, the tests should be maintained."
"The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#. It's very easy to put them all under one project and use them. The are other features that SmartBear TestComplete has but the competition widely has them as well."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"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."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
"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."
"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 AI feature needs improvement. For banking applications, we input formatted text from documents, but the AI feature is recognizing three fields as one field, e.g., for a phone number, it puts all 10 digits in the international code or country code. Then, the script fails."
"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."
"The solution does not offer up enough information in regards to personality testing."
"I would like to see a library of bomb files with an automated process and integration with Jenkins and Slack."
"The stop control needs to be improved with a configuration tool to enable desktop support."
"Whenever an object is changed or something is changed in the UI, then we have to refactor the code."
"The installation could be simplified, it is a bit difficult to install."
"The login could be improved, to obviate the need for relying on another one for integration with Selenium HQ"
"Selenium could offer better ways to record and create scripts. IDE is available, however, it can be improved."
"Technical support isn't very good. Sometimes their recommendations were not very clear."
"The integration tools could be better."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
