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

"For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process."
"The OpenText solution is the best of breed and the best solution on the market for large customers."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"The inside object repository is nice. We can use that and learn it through the ALM connection. That's a good feature. The reporting and smart identification features are also excellent."
"UFT provides object identification, which is one of the easiest to use."
"The solution has good out-of-the-box protocols."
"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."
"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

"There could be improvements in report export features similar to SmartBear."
"We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes."
"The price is very high. They should work to lower the costs for their clients."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"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."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"The integrations for this solutions could be improved, specifically for Slack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
"The price is one aspect that could be improved."
"OpenText UFT One is a very expensive solution."
"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."
"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."
"It's an expensive solution."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
"Pricing is on a higher end but the competition was even more expensive. With this considered, it is a competitive solution."
