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.
Rishabh-Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer at Cignity Technology
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 high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"The best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."
"There's less manual testing time, so we are able to quickly resolve any IT issues."
"It's scalable on the enterprise level; I have already scaled a project with UFT One at enterprise level, and I am using it because it is very scalable compared to open-source tools and many other tools on the market."
"For the QTP/UFT projects I have worked on ROI is always over 300% in the long term."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"Automation of tests is done very fast with UFT One."
"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."
"The Product as a whole is an integrated package with excellent co-relation with all Oracle Applications and any web-based application."
"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."
"OATS provides the functionality to institute a corporate-wide standardized method and approach for all types of application testing."
"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."
"The best feature of this and Load Test is simplicity."
"It has allowed more thorough testing with performance-based testing, in addition to regression testing and regular testing with each software release."
"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."
 

Cons

"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"The problem with the solution is that you need to have highly specialized skills in order to make the scripts."
"Technical support could be improved."
"I would like to see more integration with LeanFT and use UFT for continuous integration. It's still a closed product."
"The solution needs better marketing, training, promotion, and visibility because it is not visible."
"Having an Object Repository that is not stored but built through the run is the most difficult and time consuming task."
"We'd like it to have less scripting."
"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."
"The tool runs out of memory when the recording flows are long and involve many screens despite increasing the memory settings for OpenScript."
"WebForms works fine, but scripting in the EBS forms option isn't very consistent and stable."
"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)."
"I have faced issues with some indexing items."
"Performance is slow as compared to other tools like QTP."
"It does not provide easy diagnostics to ascertain end to end transaction monitoring."
"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."
"There are certain bugs which were present but was cleared in subsequent releases of application, but still there is room for improvement in the Functionality testing tool when automating form-based applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The price is reasonable."
"The tool's price is high."
"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"Compared to other products, the solution is very expensive."
"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
"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."
"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
