Sr. Quality Assurance Project Manager at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
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.

Testing automation solution that is scriptless and is competitively priced compared to other solutions
The best feature of this solution is the fact that it offers scriptless automation. You don't need to know how to code or program to use it. Within four weeks, my team was up and running. This was the shortest possible ramp-up that we completed in my entire career The integrations for this…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's allowed us to perform functional testing (to verify a specific action or function of code) for each product update."
"The object repository is one of the best in the market, allowing creation of a repository useful for all tests."
"The most valuable feature is the automation of the tests, which saves us a lot of time, especially during the regression tests."
"At our company, we have everything from mainframe to modern web UI, and UFT allows us to test all of those sites."
"Since I started, we invested in UFT and automation and we have significantly reduced our release cycle time."
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
"The OpenText solution is the best of breed and the best solution on the market for large customers."
"I was able to reduce regression and functional test times by 80%."
"Qualitia is a complete test automation tool where you can configure multiple test cases at once."
"The Qualitia technical support group is the best part of Qualitia."
"The best feature of this solution is the fact that it offers scriptless automation. You don't need to know how to code or program to use it."
 

Cons

"HP is very strong on the testing side, but in the last few years with the agile methodology it has lagged behind."
"I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
"The application can be buggy at times and takes up a lot of memory on your PC."
"It needs to be able to be used on Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers on Macs and not just Safari. That's a very key requirement for my organization."
"The scripting language could be improved. They're currently using Visual Basic, but I think that people need something more advanced, like Python or Java."
"The problem with the solution is that you need to have highly specialized skills in order to make the scripts."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"When a debug session ends, UFT forces the user back to the main script. 90% of code development and issues occur in function libraries."
"Licensing and missing import/export functionality was a problem."
"When using team city to run offline packages, Press Keys do not work, thus giving errors."
"The integrations for this solutions could be improved, specifically for Slack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is high. There are no additional costs to the standard license."
"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."
"Compared to other products, the solution is very expensive."
"HPE recently extended the demo license period from 30 days to 60 days which was a very wise and popular decision to give potential customers more time to install it and try it for free. Even if your company has a salesperson come in and demo UFT, I would highly encourage at least one of your developers or automation engineers to download and install it to explore for themselves the functionality and features included during the demo trial period."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"The tool's price is high."
"Pricing is on a higher end but the competition was even more expensive. With this considered, it is a competitive solution."
