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

"UFT provides Business Process Testing from within UFT, using the native UFT user interface."
"Automation of tests is done very fast with UFT One."
"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation."
"The object repository is one of the best in the market, allowing creation of a repository useful for all tests."
"It's simple to set up."
"The best features of OpenText Functional Testing include descriptive programming, the ability to add objects in the repository, and its ease of use for UI compared to other tools."
"OpenText UFT One offered valuable features by allowing us to build up libraries to streamline repetitive tasks, making scripting much easier."
"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."
"Qualitia is a complete test automation tool where you can configure multiple test cases at once."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its performance since it can become heavy."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"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."
"I would like a version that works quicker. Also, a lot of people can't afford it because it's expensive."
"Stability can be an issue, and the weaker the resources on the machine running UFT the more likely there will be problems."
"The solution does not have proper scripting."
"We frequently encountered stability issues when the browser dependency caused Windows to consume memory without releasing it, leading to crashes during regression testing."
"The core application that we're using in our company is a bit special and resistant to automation."
"When using team city to run offline packages, Press Keys do not work, thus giving errors."
"Licensing and missing import/export functionality was a problem."
"The integrations for this solutions could be improved, specifically for Slack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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