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 solution is easy to learn."
"Smart Wait and XPath healing are valuable features."
"Katalon Studio's biggest advantage is its price. It's a good tool for the price, albeit with some limitations when you compare it with tools like Tricentis Tosca."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"The initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"The functionality of the data is very good. You can upload and disperse data using the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"I like the fact that you can record and play the record of your step scripts, and UFT One creates the steps for you in the code base. After that, you can alter the code, and it's more of a natural language code."
"My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years."
"On a scale of one to ten, I would give OpenText UFT One a 10 because it is a reliable product, it works, it's as good or better than similar solutions especially because you get technical support from real people. Additionally, upgrades are always provided on a consistent basis."
"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."
"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."
"I can say that in my company, we struggle a lot with iOS automation."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"There could potentially be more reporting within the solution. We need more issue reports, for example."
"You have to deal with issues such as the firewall and how can the tool talk with the application, i.e., if the application is on a company network and so on. That, of course, is important to figure out."
"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."
"The price is very high. They should work to lower the costs for their clients."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"Sometimes it appears that UFT takes a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected. Also, UFT uses a lot of memory. On this note, if you are running UFT on a virtual server I would add more RAM memory than the minimum requirements especially when using multiple add-ins. HP is pretty good about coming out with new patches to fix known issues and it pays for the user to check for new patches and updates on a regular basis."
"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."
