Find out in this report how the two Functional Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."
"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 most valuable feature has been to store all our packages in one place including SSIS packages, SQL tables, TFS and SSR."
"It is very easy to use. You can handle a lot of things together at once in one package, which is a good point for us."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and availability."
"The user interface is very friendly."
"The whole suite is made for .NET development."
"I was satisfied with the support given by customer service."
"The tool is flexible and easy to manage. We use it since it is scalable and easy to use. It integrates with solutions."
"The documentation is easy, and it helps us solve our problems."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"I would like Micro Focus to provide more information on their portal about their newer products. The information about UFT One was outdated. The image recognition features could also be better."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"Over the years, I haven't identified any specific enhancements that I desire; Visual Studio has consistently met my requirements seamlessly and flawlessly."
"It could be available for multiple platforms and other operating systems like Mac with a native port."
"It needs more integration with other tools for monitoring. Microsoft also needs to make it more modern to make it work with microservices and the cloud. It is a bit outdated currently."
"The pricing of this solution should be lowered."
"There are too many features with the product and I would like there to be less."
"The solution can improve the startup time."
"The price is reasonable, but it's not the best."
"The product must provide more automation."
