We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT One and SmartBear TestComplete based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Automation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"The best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."
"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 entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
"For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge."
"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"Selenium integration."
"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."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"The test object repository needs to be improved. The hierarchy and the way we identify the objects in different applications, irrespective of technology, needs adjustments. The located and test objects are not as flexible compared to other commercial tools."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
