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.

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy
Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"The approach to the automation test makes the test activities more interesting and improves the software quality."
"You get rid of manual testing, which is a huge improvement."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications, and it is very productive in terms of execution."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"The most valuable features are its support for multiple technologies, ease of coding, object repository, and ability to design our own framework. The recording playback feature allows those unfamiliar with coding to use the tool."
"I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"My advice to others is if they are using any Oracle Cloud Fusion-based or on-premise-based application, this is a good solution to use."
"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."
"This tool did a much better job recording the http requests during web load testing than other open source tools."
"Now I feel its the best tool to automate any of the Oracle Products, which include Oracle EBS Applications, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Siebel, Adobe Flex, ADF applications, etc.."
"I can organize test scripts pretty well."
"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature, the recording feature is the prime feature that open script has, and I also like the connectivity with Oracle Forms as it is very compatible."
"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature."
"The Product as a whole is an integrated package with excellent co-relation with all Oracle Applications and any web-based application."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it appears that UFT takes a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected. Also, UFT uses a lot of memory."
"There are scenarios where the tool freezes and locks the user out."
"You have to deal with issues such as the firewall and how can the tool talk with the application, i.e., if the application is on a company network and so on. That, of course, is important to figure out."
"The UA objects are sometimes hard to recognize, so the coverage should be increased."
"Yes, there were stability issues sometimes."
"We would like to see smart identification (captures a unique object during testing) work more reliably."
"I would like to see more integration with LeanFT and use UFT for continuous integration. It's still a closed product."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"There is one piece of functionality that is currently not offered and would be very good to have: Support for Digital Certificates authentication and Single Sign-On (SSO)."
"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."
"Licensing policies could be more intuitive."
"I would rate their technical support 2.5 out of ten."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."
"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."
"It does not provide easy diagnostics to ascertain end to end transaction monitoring."
"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."
"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.""
"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"Compared to other tools in the market, UFT One is very competitive. The recent Covid pandemic situation also hit customer budgets significantly, so Micro Focus offered some discounted prices, which is definitely competitive."
"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
"The licensing cost is high. There are no additional costs to the standard license."
"The tool's price is high."
"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
