"The most valuable feature for me is the number of protocols that can be tested. It not only tests Web, but also SAP, Siebel, .Net, and even pdf."
"The most valuable feature is the automation of test cases."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT Developer is the flexibility to work with many different types of software."
"The cost is the most important factor in this tool."
"There are many good things. Like it is intuitive and scripting was easy. Plus the availability of experienced resources in India due to its market leadership."
"One aspect that I like about Micro Focus UFT Developer is the ability to integrate it into a testing framework as a library."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see the connectivity improved to be less complex and more stable."
"We push one button and the tests are completely executed at once, so just have to analyze and say it's okay. It would be nice if this could be entirely automated."
"UFT Developer is good, but it requires high-level development skills. Scripting is something that everybody should know to be able to work with this product. Currently, it is very development intensive, and you need to know various scripting languages. It would be good if the development effort could be cut short, and it can be scriptless like Tosca. It will help in more adoption because not every team has people with a software engineering background. If it is scriptless, the analysts who wear multiple hats and come from different backgrounds can also use it in a friendly manner. It is also quite expensive."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Easier connectivity and integration with SAP would be helpful."
"The support for .NET Framework and Visual Studio in Micro Focus UFT Developer is currently limited. At present, only Visual Studio 2019 is supported, despite the release of a newer version (2022). Similarly, the tool only supports up to .NET Framework version 4.3.8, while there have been six newer versions released. This is an area that could be improved upon, particularly in the Windows environment."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"The support from Micro Focus needs a lot of improvement."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"The integration tools could be better."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
