We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT One, Selenium HQ, and Zeenyx AscentialTest based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools.
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation."
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"Selenium HQ lets you create your customized functions with whatever language you want to use, like Python, Java, .NET, etc. You can integrate with Selenium and write."
"It supports most of the actions that a user would do on a website."
"It is programming language agnostic, you can write tests in most currently used languages."
"It's not too complicated to implement."
"Data parametrization and parallelization are the most important features in any automation tool."
"The most valuable features of Selenium HQ are the automation of all UI tests, its open-source, reliability, and is supported by Google."
"The most valuable features are the ability to test and debug."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"They should leverage the tools for supporting Windows apps."
"I would like to see some reporting or test management tools."
"Technical support isn't very good. Sometimes their recommendations were not very clear."
"Selenium is good when the team is really technical because Selenium does less built-in methods. If it came with more built-in and pre-built methods it would be even easier for less technical people to work with it. That's where I think the improvement can be."
"Selenium Grid set-up is bit complex."
"Whenever an object is changed or something is changed in the UI, then we have to refactor the code."
"Selenium HQ can be complex. The interface requires a QA engineer or an expert to use it."
"For now, I guess Selenium could add some other features like object communications for easy expansion."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
