Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"I like the Help feature in UFT One. For example, if you are navigating a particular window, where there are different options. One wouldn’t know the purpose of every option, but there is no need to search because that window contains a Help button. If you click on that Help button, it directly navigates to the respective help needed. VBScript is very easy to understand and easy to prepare scripts with minimal learning curve."
"Micro Focus UFT One gives us integration capabilities with both API and GUI components. I like the user interface. It doesn't require that much skill to use and has automatic settings, which is useful for users who don't know what to select. It also has dark and light themes."
"The most valuable features for us are the GUI, the easy identification of objects, and folder structure creation."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"The UA objects are sometimes hard to recognize, so the coverage should be increased. Open-source alternatives have a broad scope. Also, it's sometimes difficult to make connections between two of the components in the UFT mobile center. It should be easier to set up the wireless solution because we have to set both. We directly integrate Selenium and APM, so we should try to cover all the features they have in APM and Selenium with the UFT mobile."
"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."
"We'd like it to have less scripting."
"Micro Focus UFT One could improve by having more maintenance. Every time when we run the solution and develop something, the next time when we run it it doesn't recognize the object. I have to redesign the object again and then run the solution. It's really a headache, it's not consistent."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources."
