Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."It's simple to set up."
"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."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"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 shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"It helps in identifying defects earlier. With manual testing, that 15-day timeline meant there were times when we would find defects on the 11th or 12th day of the cycle, but with automation we are able to run the complete suite within a day and we are able to find the failures. It helps us to provide early feedback."
"The most valuable features are: One language for all platforms: C#; XAML for UI in Xamarin.Forms; provides 100 percent coverage of APIs on each platform."
"Xamarin is well-integrated with Visual Studio so it will feel very familiar to you once you start."
"It allows us to reuse our knowledge of C# and .NET Framework."
"It usually saves time for application development. We write once and the code works everywhere."
"The best part while using the Xamarin Platform is a cross-platform application. We could execute iOS and Android while writing a single line of code."
"The solution is easy to understand and has banking integrated. The shorter development time, the bugging and as well as availability of a lot of documentation on the web. Also the native integration is easy."
"The technical support is very good and it's close to native."
"It significantly reduces development and test costs, and ensures that there is synergy between the platforms on product features and user experience."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"Technical support could be improved."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"There are compatibility issues between versions of various Xamarin components."
"The recent move to .NET MAUI is a big change that's affecting a lot of the good features."
"The android application compilation time needs to be reduced."
"There is limited support for UX widgets."
"The performance needs improvement, especially the dev tools, and also the ultimate output of the mobile applications."
"We need to think about partnering with IBM because there is a need for a big data partner; someone who has machine learning and can help us connect the app to big data."
"The solution struggles a little bit with binding libraries."
"Regarding improvements, there are still some limitations with Xamarin, particularly regarding access to core functionality in Android and iOS."
