"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"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."
"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."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"UFT has improved our ability to regression test."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"The product has many features."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"Selenium integration."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"We'd like it to have less scripting."
"Technical support could be improved."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"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."
"The scripting language could be improved. They're currently using Visual Basic, but I think that people need something more advanced, like Python or Java."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"At times, identifying or locating an element can be somewhat challenging. However, in a recent test update, they introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. This introduction has reduced the challenges to some extent, as we can now utilize OCR if the normal method doesn't work. Nevertheless, there is still significant potential for improvement in TestComplete's ability to identify various object elements. I don't have any specific concerns to mention. I have observed significant improvements in TestComplete over the past few years, especially in its support for highly dynamic object elements used in products like Salesforce Dynamics 365. In earlier versions, there were numerous challenges, but the current version is far superior to its predecessors."
