We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT One, SmartBear TestComplete, 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 interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"On a scale of one to ten, I would give OpenText UFT One a 10 because it is a reliable product, it works, it's as good or better than similar solutions especially because you get technical support from real people. Additionally, upgrades are always provided on a consistent basis."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"It works very fine. It is fast on almost any machine, and it is also very well organized. I like its object mapping and its capability to find and interact with almost everything that exists on Windows."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"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."
"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."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"The UA objects are sometimes hard to recognize, so the coverage should be increased. Open-source alternatives have a broad scope. Also, it's sometimes difficult to make connections between two of the components in the UFT mobile center. It should be easier to set up the wireless solution because we have to set both. We directly integrate Selenium and APM, so we should try to cover all the features they have in APM and Selenium with the UFT mobile."
"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."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"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."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"The test object repository needs to be improved. The hierarchy and the way we identify the objects in different applications, irrespective of technology, needs adjustments. The located and test objects are not as flexible compared to other commercial tools."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"At times, identifying or locating an element can be somewhat challenging. However, in a recent test update, they introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. This introduction has reduced the challenges to some extent, as we can now utilize OCR if the normal method doesn't work. Nevertheless, there is still significant potential for improvement in TestComplete's ability to identify various object elements. I don't have any specific concerns to mention. I have observed significant improvements in TestComplete over the past few years, especially in its support for highly dynamic object elements used in products like Salesforce Dynamics 365. In earlier versions, there were numerous challenges, but the current version is far superior to its predecessors."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
