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

"UFT is easy to use so the QA team is not required to have much programming skills."
"Micro Focus UFT is a good product in my opinion; I can say it's a stable system and it's a legacy, and we have been using it for a long time."
"UFT One has good coverage of different environments and any Windows application or web application."
"The Object Spy in UFT is very valuable for spying on controls in our mobile application and viewing their properties and values."
"Supports desktop, web and mobile product automation."
"I support UFT as the best solution due to the skill set needed to operate the tool."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"Helps us to reduce the workload to check the system."
"Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."
"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."
"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."
"Implementation of Oracle Application Testing Suite package has increased the overall efficiency."
"It's user friendly and in-built API support makes it very easy to automate or develop an automation framework."
"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"
"The function test feature is valuable."
 

Cons

"When debugging code in UFT, it would crash, freeze and hang a lot."
"The price is very high. They should work to lower the costs for their clients."
"Cross-browser testing feature should be improved."
"There is a gap in technical support which is also part of our review. We've raised issues in the past, which have not been fixed in two years."
"The solution is expensive."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"HP products sometimes have a lot of bugs to fix. You get in trouble sometimes because you want to adhere to some timelines, but then you find that the solution doesn't work."
"I would like a version that works quicker. Also, a lot of people can't afford it because it's expensive."
"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."
"The tool runs out of memory when the recording flows are long and involve many screens despite increasing the memory settings for OpenScript."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."
"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."
"We have stability issues with the server logging off when a script runs from OTM."
"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."
"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."
"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"The tool's price is high."
"The price is reasonable."
"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"The solution is priced reasonably for what features it is providing. However, it might be expensive for some."
"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."
"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 complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
