Featured Reviews

Dinesh Saharan - PeerSpot reviewer
The tool reduces the manual effort needed and helps automate certain tasks for users
I won't be able to comment on what could be improved in the solution since I am not the one who handles LambdaTest. It is our company's IT team that takes care of LambdaTest. Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis. If something is perfect, it doesn't mean that it doesn't need to improvise or improve, like in terms of adding new features. There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.
Eitan Gold - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly integration with support for Visual Studio enhances GUI testing capabilities
OpenText UFT Developer is user-friendly and integrates well with Visual Studio. The support is excellent. It is easy to implement tests with OpenText UFT Developer. We primarily use it for GUI testing and testing web applications with another application. This is the main usage for us. We also integrate it with the N-unit Framework, and they work well together.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"HyperExecute adds significant speed to execution, enhancing the overall testing process."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"OpenText UFT Developer is user-friendly and integrates well with Visual Studio."
"This tool is really good. We don't need to write any code, but it writes the code itself, only record and play. And it is simple, and it is not heavy; I mean, it doesn't have a large footprint, and it works well for us."
"The most valuable feature is the automation of test cases."
"The cost is the most important factor in this tool."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of plugins for object recognition. The predefined libraries allow us to automate tasks."
"The most valuable feature for UFT is the ability to test a desktop application."
"I like the tool because we can still access the devices' distance. It's not important where you're working. For example, I can use it in Brazil, Chile, and other parts where people are working. After the pandemic, many companies use it for homework. I think using it to administer and manage the devices is very good and effective."
"One aspect that I like about Micro Focus UFT Developer is the ability to integrate it into a testing framework as a library."
 

Cons

"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"I think Lambdatest is a valuable tool for our team and things that have room for improvement would be mobile app testing, as it can be an important addition to the tool."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"Integration with other tools can become a costly exercise."
"Stability depends on the company's infrastructure and end-to-end infrastructure. When I used the tool in my project, we had a big problem with many users using it simultaneously."
"The product has shown no development over the past 10 or 15 years."
"The solution could improve by working better with desktop applications and websites."
"The support for .NET Framework and Visual Studio in Micro Focus UFT Developer is currently limited. At present, only Visual Studio 2019 is supported, despite the release of a newer version (2022). Similarly, the tool only supports up to .NET Framework version 4.3.8, while there have been six newer versions released. This is an area that could be improved upon, particularly in the Windows environment."
"Easier connectivity and integration with SAP would be helpful."
"The parallel execution of the tests needs improvement. When we are running tests in LeanFT, there are some limitations in terms of running the same tests simultaneously across different browsers. If I'm running a test, let's say to log in, I should be able to execute it through IE, through Microsoft Edge, through Chrome, through Mozilla, etc. This capability doesn't exist in LeanFT. Parallel execution of the test cases across different browsers need to be added."
"In the next release, I would like to see integration with different cloud-based tools such as Azure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"It is cheap, but if you take the enterprise license, it is valid for both software items."
"The price of the solution could be lowered. The cost is approximately $25 per year for a subscription-based license."
"The pricing is quite high compared to the competition."
"When we compare in the market with other tools that have similar features, it may be a little bit extra, but the cost is ten times less."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high and we are considering moving to another solution."
"If I would rate it with one being inexpensive and ten being expensive, I would rate pricing an eight out of ten."
"Its cost is a bit high. From the licensing perspective, I am using a concurrent license. It is not a seed license. It is something that I can use in our network. It can also be used by other users."
"The licensing is very expensive, so often, we don't have enough VMs to run all of our tests."
