Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"When I started to work on testing automation, I was very excited about how easy it is to run tests on different browsers. It was just a matter of configuration.""It has increased the speed of our regression testing.""I can run a page through the screenshot tool, then send a URL with the results to my team.""It was the perfect solution that saved us time and money to perform web viewing tests on real devices, which allowed our team to correct multiple failures in devices.""The features that I find most useful and the ones that I use the most are local site testing, device and browser testing, and screenshots.""The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive.""Each new session started with the live testing feature allows for a cleared browser and new experience to be able to not only see these attributes on the page clearly but also pass clean data.""The ability to choose from many devices is the best feature."

"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier.""The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel.""I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications.""With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources.""Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways.""My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years.""The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms.""The stop automation is a great feature."

Cons
"Sometimes the testing is slow.""It would be useful if we can run the live-testing test cases on multiple platforms at the same time, instead of waiting for one session to finish.""The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved.""There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting.""Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up.""Being able to test on real devices via the virtual connection is wonderful, but it can cause some lag and load time issues while testing.""Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers.""The screenshot tool defaults to a screen layout instead of a full page test. I find it a bit cumbersome that I can't have it run a full screenshot as my default."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT.""Jumping to functions is supported from any Action/BPT Component code, but not from inside a function library where the target function exists in another library file. Workaround: Select search entire project for the function.""Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected.""Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification.""It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower.""It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS.""I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved.""The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The lowest price point is very reasonable. It is also useful if only one person in the company needs to check on the browser display."
  • "A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
  • "CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
  • "It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
  • "SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
  • More CrossBrowserTesting Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
  • "The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
  • "It's an expensive solution."
  • "For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."
  • "The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being 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.""
  • "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 price is one aspect that could be improved."
