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.

Cloud-based testing has simplified remote mobile validation and provides flexible device coverage
I was not impressed with how detailed their analytics and logs are from LambdaTest. The solution we were testing is being used because many of us are working from home. It was easy to implement because with a real phone, we have to bring a real phone to each person. Since three years ago, many employees have been working from home, so we were trying to find a solution for this challenge. We had no need to exploit the information for the analytics generated in the background. The purpose was simply to make it easy for our employees to access a phone. The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers. The contrast on a real iPhone provides better contrast than with the cloud solution. The only aspect that was less favorable than on a real phone was the contrast of the color.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The recording feature is quite good as it helps us to find out how things are working."
"The solution is very scalable."
"We pretty much use that to streamline workflow and enable productivity in a business context in our business unit as well as in our IT shop, so just reducing workload on IT people as well as testing."
"This is a good solution and I recommend it."
"The most valuable feature for me is the number of protocols that can be tested."
"The most valuable feature for me is the number of protocols that can be tested. It not only tests Web, but also SAP, Siebel, .Net, and even pdf."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT Developer is the flexibility to work with many different types of software."
"It’s good to see, now that we are using LambdaTest, we can run multiple tests on multiple VMs, saving us hours of testing time and the maintenance cost of local infrastructure."
"Using LambdaTest, we could run all our functionality tests across various browsers, OS, and resolutions."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"I was really surprised by LambdaTest; it was a very good service and for the price, I think it is a very good solution."
"Our test execution time was reduced to 16 mins from five hours when executed in parallel on multiple VMs."
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"HyperExecute adds significant speed to execution, enhancing the overall testing process."
 

Cons

"Integration with other tools can become a costly exercise."
"There's room for improvement, especially when I compare OpenText to newer tools like NeoLoad."
"The support from Micro Focus needs a lot of improvement."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution is high. It's more than $10,000 per floating license."
"Since it was a slightly different way of doing things, it was a little complex."
"Because of all the problems and limitations of the UTF product, I would rate it at only a four out of ten (where ten is the best and one is the worst)."
"I would rate technical support a one out of five."
"Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I would rate it with one being inexpensive and ten being expensive, I would rate pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is quite high compared to the competition."
"It is quite expensive and is priced per seat or in concurrent (or floating) licenses over a period of months."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing is very expensive, so often, we don't have enough VMs to run all of our tests."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"This is an affordable product."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
