Experienced ease in automation with strong support while seeking improvements in low-code options
OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web offers flexibility of deployment, from on-premises to UFT One which is on the cloud. They provide capability for immediate deployment, and assets can be migrated easily. They include enablers specifically for quick migration of test assets. While I have not personally been involved in these migrations, I have observed some clients using it directly while others make a complete shift from OpenText to Tricentis platforms. There have not been many clients moving from OpenText platforms from on-premises to cloud because most shifts have been toward different product categories such as Tricentis altogether.

Provides multiple test environments and saves time, but should have something for inspecting mobile apps screens
With the desktop browser, we can inspect any screen with the web developer option, but they should provide something for mobiles so that we can quickly inspect elements on the device. To write the Selenium scripts, we require web locators. We have to capture them from the local and execute the script on Sauce Labs. If Sauce Labs can provide a solution where we can inspect any of the mobile devices online, it will be very helpful for us. I also faced an issue where during the execution time, the iCloud password used to expire within a certain period, which used to create pop-ups on the screen making our tests fail. That was one thing that we faced many times. If that can be improved, it will be very helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pricing is great."
"They've all been really satisfied with the scalability of the HPE products."
"The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare."
"The main benefit is that you can get a very quick idea regarding the performance of your application, and it also helps you discover hidden pain points that you would not have found without using this tool."
"ROI is definitely present with OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web; these are very capable tools, and there is no reason ROI should be a challenge."
"In general, in my opinion, Mobile Center is a good product that allows us to do everything we need to automate application testing for mobile."
"The product is easy to use."
"There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps."
"It has significantly enhanced our testing accuracy by approximately 50%."
"With Sauce Labs, we have a whole universe of devices: Galaxy, all the iPhones, and all the operating system versions. All our software developers are able to test on a multitude of different devices."
"Without Sauce Labs, we wouldn't be able to test as quickly or simultaneously on various browsers."
"It runs on the cloud, so you don't have physical setups to run all of this."
"What I like most is the parallel run for multiple tests on multiple browsers simultaneously."
"Sauce Labs is one of the smoothest products we've integrated with and currently use."
"Testing is very fast with this tool."
"Sauce Labs helps us identify the root causes of bugs. The solution offers a lot of flexibility by providing the latest iOS and Android emulator versions, and even the Appium updates when it comes out in the market."
 

Cons

"OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web could benefit from implementing a low-code, no-code solution that aids in quick automation code preparation."
"Because of connection errors, we've haven't yet been able to set it up properly at my company."
"I would like to see more integration with automation tools."
"The documentation and user interface both need improvement."
"With versions prior to 2.0 I found that configuration was trickier than it should be, particularly with aspects such as NV."
"However, it is still a young product that is improving leaps and bounds each release."
"We need to scale devices easily. Some customers would like to loop in AWS or other cloud providers to check if their devices have the cloud factor. OpenText UFT Digital Lab needs to improve it."
"Deployment was an issue. Each time we set it up and deployed, it failed and we had to relaunch it again."
"When we were in development, it was a bit of a pain because we have onshore and offshore development. One of our development shops is in India, and we were running tests over there. When some of the users tried to log in, it was slow for them or we didn't have enough licenses. That was during the core development before we even launched."
"We had some specific features that we opened tickets on, although they were not earth-shattering. For example, the way the menus scroll could be improved because it does not have a bar, the way that people are used to, where you can move up and down."
"I would like to see it work directly with Azure Web Apps so that we do not have to have a separate step to run tests, or setup complex flows in Jenkins."
"The way the owner/user/sub-user hierarchy is set up can be confusing."
"The speed needs to increase."
"The slower speed needs to increase and the connectivity stability needs to improve."
"They could improve the platform's customer support services."
"Unable to segregate reports for tests that are currently being developed, and might not be returning useful results."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OpenText UFT Digital Lab's pricing is average, and I rate it a five out of ten."
"The product could be more affordable."
"While the pricing may seem relatively high, when compared to competitors, it often falls in line or can even be more cost-effective."
"With respect to pricing, they did a bundled discount because we went with Sauce Labs for both mobile and browser. They were very competitive on pricing and provided a bundle discount for us as a larger customer."
"We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs."
"We pay for a specific number of VMs."
"Trial the product and see if it suits your needs."
"Cost-wise, it's decent. If you have to get the base version out of it, it's the best solution to go with. As compared to other cloud service providers, the pricing of Sauce Labs is decent."
"Compared with other services, Sauce Labs is a bit expensive."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher end, and there are other options that are more cost-effective."
"​Now that we have an enterprise license, we no longer have to worry about minutes each month!​"
