QA Automation Engineer at Global Fortune 500 Company

With regularly occurring releases, a QA team member can schedule tests, let the tests run unattended, and then examine the results

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. For Web browsers, UFT 12.54 supports IE9, IE10, IE11, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome (versions 31.0 to 54.9), Firefox (versions 27.0 to 49.0). Besides GUI testing, UFT supports database testing and API testing (Docker, WSDL, and SOAP). For the first time ever, HP started to expand the testing capabilities of UFT (QTP) beyond Windows beginning with UFT 12.00. A UFT user can now run tests on Web applications on a Safari browser that is running on a remote Mac computer.

Very good performance and load testing capabilities

There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test. When we use the solution instead of Microsoft Edge, more scripting is required. The reports for structure point or test management could be more compatible with other tools. For example, when I create an application I sometimes cannot generate a report.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."

"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."

"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."

"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."

"The OpenText solution is the best of breed and the best solution on the market for large customers."

"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."

"It is a stable solution."

More OpenText UFT One pros

"Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me."

"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface."

"Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."

"The performance and load testing are very good."

"The way it identifies elements is good."

Cons

"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."

"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."

"The solution is expensive."

"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."

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

"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."

"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."

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

More OpenText UFT One cons

"I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding."

"There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test."

"Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy."

"It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously."

"The charts need to be more detailed and customizable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."

"Its price is reasonable compared to other vendors."

"HPE recently extended the demo license period from 30 days to 60 days which was a very wise and popular decision to give potential customers more time to install it and try it for free. Even if your company has a salesperson come in and demo UFT, I would highly encourage at least one of your developers or automation engineers to download and install it to explore for themselves the functionality and features included during the demo trial period."

"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."

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

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

"It's an expensive solution."

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

"The pricing is fair so I rate it an eight out of ten."
