Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."Micro Focus UFT One gives us integration capabilities with both API and GUI components. I like the user interface. It doesn't require that much skill to use and has automatic settings, which is useful for users who don't know what to select. It also has dark and light themes."
"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 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 initial setup is relatively easy."
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
"The solution has good out-of-the-box protocols."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"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."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"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."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"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."
