Outstanding UFT solution, but there are issues with the scripting

We are currently using it for migration Micro Focus UFT One is useful. However, there is an issue with the scripts. We are going to collaborate with multiple automatic specialists to identify the problem. If we can fix the issue, we will continue with UFT, otherwise, we'll switch to other…

Using exploratory testing, we can send an email to record manual test cases to the business analysts.

They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports. My previous company uses an application which will create a purchase order for their products, so my company wants to track all the purchase orders and the accounts that have been used for testing. We have set up data and automated tests in Tricentis Tosca. Using the Execution Folder (in Tosca) we are able to execute automated tests which gives detailed information for each run/execution. However, we were expecting a report for each execution like what scenario executed, what data was used (dummy customer accounts) and the resulting purchase order numbers. Tricentis Tosca is able to export the execution results in Excel/PDF format but our company was expecting customized reports, so I mentioned this as room for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"UFT has improved our ability to regression test."

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

"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."

"The stop automation is a great feature."

"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."

"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."

"The most valuable features for us are the GUI, the easy identification of objects, and folder structure creation."

"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."

More OpenText UFT One pros

"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."

"Tosca is a low-code no-code automation tool, allowing direct automation and reusability of test cases."

"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."

"I am impressed with the product's script test."

"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."

"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."

"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."

"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."

"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."

"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."

"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."

"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."

"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."

"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."

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

More OpenText UFT One cons

"One thing to improve in Tricentis Tosca is that it's not compatible with Excel based forms. Another area for improvement is that the tool is not compatible with OpenText applications. The support and licensing cost for it also need improvement. The tool also needs cloud support, as it's currently on-premises only."

"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."

"The product is not very stable when used with cloud storage. It is very hard to load the screen, making it difficult to use the tool in cloud storage."

"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."

"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."

"The issue is that even though the components are tightly integrated, object identification can be quite slow, sometimes taking five to ten seconds."

"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."

"We faced some hardships in implementing the solution because of integration."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It's an expensive solution."

"The pricing of the product is an issue."

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

"OpenText UFT One is a very expensive solution."

"The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."

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

"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."

More OpenText UFT One pricing and cost advice

"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."

"I am satisfied with the cost."

"There are two licenses: single user and multiple user. A multiple-user license means that several people can work together on one project and collaborate on code stored in a central location. A single-user license is for people working alone on a one particular application. It's much cheaper than a multi-user workspace. If you are getting a large volume of licenses for an enterprise, you can probably negotiate a discount, but I'm not sure about that."

"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"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."

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

"The price of Tricentis Tosca is approximately Є10,000 for one license. However, it used to be much cheaper, but they changed their license structure. It used to be a structure where if you bought a license you would receive one year of free support and maintenance. Now they only have a yearly license, and that is expensive."

How does Micro Focus UFT One compare to Tricentis Tosca?

We reviewed MicroFocus UFT One but ultimately chose to use Tricentis Tosca because we needed API testing. MicroFocus UFT is a performance and functional testing tool. We tested it, and it was well suited for CI integrations. We liked it, in particular, because it integrates greatly with other platforms, like .net, QC and Jenkins. An added advantage was the multi-device support. One of the best advantages of MicroFocus is that it integrates with legacy web technologies and even Windows client applications. Finally, MicroFocus supports cross-browser testing. Regardless of many features, including a test combinations generator and insight recording, it is relatively easy to learn. That being said, it doesn’t support multiple formats of reporting. For now, UFT only supports exporting reports in HTML or PDF. MicroFocus should allow exporting to Excel, CSV, XML, and other formats. There is a bit of performance degradation of the test environment when executing automation scripts continuously for a long time. The execution can be inconsistent sometimes, and scripting takes a long time. Another downside is the high licensing price. Tricentis Tosca is an integrated testing solution that includes testing automation and case design approach, risk-based testing, test data management, and service virtualization. The best feature is its versatility in helping both web and desktop applications. It is very reliable and stable. Another great feature is that you can reuse test cases. The platform supports multiple technologies and devices. It is truly end-to-end. Because it is scriptless, anyone can learn to use it. As much as we like it, there are downsides to Tosca, too. The price is one of them. It runs a bit expensive, but it is worth it. The test design section is complicated to learn, and the UI takes time to get used to. Conclusions Tosca is a better solution in terms of usability and versatility. MicroFocus is better for organizations with legacy web applications.

Both products are very useful but it really depends on what you need to test and who is building the tests. We recently chose UFT One over Tosca in a specific use case where identifying images inside a map was needed. UFT uses both OCR and Image recognition where in Tosca you would have to identify specific pixels and those pixels could move depending on what device you were using. From a test building perspective, I feel it is easier to build tests in UFT One than in Tosca. UFT One also gives you the ability to develop tests by either writing code or using the record and convert to code option (Allows developers and Business users to work together to build/update the same test). If you can provide more info on what you are testing and your key drivers, I can try and give more info on what tool may be best.
