HZ
Lead Systems Tester at Government of Ontario, Canada
Reliable test automation, and test data creation with efficient support
The solution can be improved by removing the need for object matching in the framework. The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run. The reason is that changes were made to how it works with the browser and the startup takes some time. Adjusting those changes to speed up the load time will improve the solution.

Sr. Quality Assurance Project Manager at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
Has supported faster test execution and increased flexibility while offering room to improve support responsiveness
Reducing the levels of support is something they could continue to improve. They tend to have an entry-level person that may not be as familiar with the product that fields the calls, which creates another day of delay to get to the level that's needed. This is a common practice across most companies where you call, you get the entry-level person, and then they work their way up to help screen calls so that they are more focused.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps in automation by using better object recognition as compared to other tools in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester, which analyzes the changes in UI elements and allows me to automatically adapt and change my automation testing."
"As it is built on Ellipse/Java and costs less than other tools, it is recommended."
"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"Robust API provides quick turnaround for developers to understand and automate functional test case quickly."
"It is 100% compatible with all sorts of database integrations and is compatible with all types of open source TFT-based applications, which makes it a great product to have."
"The technical support is good; at least their response time is good, and whenever we ask them for help regarding deployment customizations, custom code implementation, or other code needs, they heavily support us, assign us IT engineers who work alongside us helping with code-related issues, and stay until the problem is resolved."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"UFT One has good coverage of different environments and any Windows application or web application."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"It helps us consolidate our efforts."
"UFT is the only technology that enabled us to actually automate our core application."
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
"UFT provides Business Process Testing from within UFT, using the native UFT user interface."
"I support UFT as the best solution due to the skill set needed to operate the tool."
 

Cons

"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"If in the future there is no support for mobile applications, then we will be using it less."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"The object repository used for identifying objects can be made better. It has been noticed that the RFT tool is unable to identify some objects, due to which we are unable to add them to the object repository."
"With version 8.5 we faced workspace crash issues frequently."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"If you look at today's current context, I wouldn't recommend RFT because there are far more advanced solutions and products available."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"The problem with the solution is that you need to have highly specialized skills in order to make the scripts."
"I’d like to see them improve the number of objects recognized without customization, similar to TestComplete by SmartBear."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"Micro Focus UFT One could benefit from creating modules that are more accessible to non-technical users. Without a developer background or at least basic knowledge of VBScript, using Micro Focus UFT One may not be feasible for everyone. This is something that Micro Focus, now owned by OpenText, should consider in order to cater to business professionals as well. While Micro Focus UFT One does have a recording function, it still requires a certain level of IT proficiency to create effective automation, which may be challenging for those outside of the technical field."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"I would like to see more integration with LeanFT and use UFT for continuous integration. It's still a closed product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is good but the prices for the products are expensive. A single-user license may go for something like $10,000 to $30,000. There are no additional costs, and support is included within that price."
"The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
"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 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."
"The price is one aspect that could be improved."
"Compared to other products, the solution is very expensive."
"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."
"The pricing of the product is an issue."
