We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and OpenText UFT One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 scalability of the product is good."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"One of the features that I like is Object Recognition. It worked very well, and it allowed me to create a dynamic expert based on my requirements."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"Our clients have requested by all types of testing, including mobile, desktop, and API testing and all of those are covered by Katalon. I find that very valuable, very complete."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"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 solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"I like the Help feature in UFT One. For example, if you are navigating a particular window, where there are different options. One wouldn’t know the purpose of every option, but there is no need to search because that window contains a Help button. If you click on that Help button, it directly navigates to the respective help needed. VBScript is very easy to understand and easy to prepare scripts with minimal learning curve."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"We used to run it as a test suite. Micro Focus provides that in terms of a test management tool as ALM, but when we think of integrating with a distributed version control system, like Jenkins, there isn't much integration available. That means we need to make use of external solutions to make it work."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"We'd like it to have less scripting."
"I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
