With regularly occurring releases, a QA team member can schedule tests, let the tests run unattended, and then examine the results

With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies. It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files. For Web browsers, UFT 12.54 supports IE9, IE10, IE11, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome (versions 31.0 to 54.9), Firefox (versions 27.0 to 49.0). Besides GUI testing, UFT supports database testing and API testing (Docker, WSDL, and SOAP). For the first time ever, HP started to expand the testing capabilities of UFT (QTP) beyond Windows beginning with UFT 12.00. A UFT user can now run tests on Web applications on a Safari browser that is running on a remote Mac computer.

A stable tool to help users take care of the implementation phases in their environment

There are a few minor areas where improvements are required, but they are not something that I can discuss at a high level. I will have to ask the team that uses Testim since they can give a better response to what requires improvement in the product. I only manage the team that uses Testim. I cannot be exactly described as an end user of the tool. There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it. There were some trial and error methods our company had to deal with while using the product's documentation, after which we were able to get through the setup phase. I want the documentation to have more information to help users with the setup process. I want the product to be more scalable in the future.

Pros

"With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies. It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files."

"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."

"The OpenText solution is the best of breed and the best solution on the market for large customers."

"UFT provides object identification, which is one of the easiest to use."

"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."

"The solution's recording option is the most beneficial for test script creation and maintenance."

"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."

"The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."

More OpenText UFT One pros

"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."

"The pre-defined tests are a great help, specifically the custom JS test that allows us to be able to use custom code to test complicated elements or scenarios."

"The feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."

"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."

"The tool's most valuable feature is the recently added AI feature."

"The automating smoke and regression tests have become easier and handier and manual efforts are saved."

"It is a highly stable solution."

"Testim introduces three services covering validation steps, eliminating the necessity to write complex code."

More Testim pros

Cons

"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."

"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."

"The AI feature needs improvement. For banking applications, we input formatted text from documents, but the AI feature is recognizing three fields as one field, e.g., for a phone number, it puts all 10 digits in the international code or country code. Then, the script fails."

"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."

"The price is very high. They should work to lower the costs for their clients."

"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."

"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."

"We used to run it as a test suite. Micro Focus provides that in terms of a test management tool as ALM, but when we think of integrating with a distributed version control system, like Jenkins, there isn't much integration available. That means we need to make use of external solutions to make it work."

More OpenText UFT One cons

"The product's areas of improvement include pricing considerations and additional features related to visual testing and PDF handling."

"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."

"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."

"The accessibility reporting features could be more robust to be reported at the script level and allow users to map down to the step level."

"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."

"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."

"I get a little bit confused while creating new branches."

"There is currently no room for improvement that I can identify as of now."

More Testim cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."

"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.""

"Its price is reasonable compared to other vendors."

"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."

"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."

"The solution is priced reasonably for what features it is providing. However, it might be expensive for some."

"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
