We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT Developer and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Functional Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a complete pursuit and it's a logical pursuit working with HPE."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature is the automation of test cases."
"The solution helps to accelerate software testing automation. It will help to reduce lead time and increase productivity and efficiency."
"There are many good things. Like it is intuitive and scripting was easy. Plus the availability of experienced resources in India due to its market leadership."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT Developer is the flexibility to work with many different types of software."
"One of the important features, which speeds up the automation testing development with LeanFT, is its object repository functions. Object identification are the most time-consuming aspect of building automation tests. LeanFT gives that out of the box. It helps you identify the objects and after that, once you got the object in place, then it's just about building the test scripts. So it reduces your development time significantly."
"The solution is very scalable."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"We like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs. Due to this, the solution has a broad range of applications."
"With Smart Bear products generally, you can have only one instance of the tool running on a machine."
"The parallel execution of the tests needs improvement. When we are running tests in LeanFT, there are some limitations in terms of running the same tests simultaneously across different browsers. If I'm running a test, let's say to log in, I should be able to execute it through IE, through Microsoft Edge, through Chrome, through Mozilla, etc. This capability doesn't exist in LeanFT. Parallel execution of the test cases across different browsers need to be added."
"The support from Micro Focus needs a lot of improvement."
"It's now too heavy and they should be making it faster. We do an attempt at automatic regression testing. We schedule a test to start at a certain time. It takes a lot of time to download the resources and start UFT. Competitors in this area have tools that start faster and run the test faster. For example, if the test at our side will take 10 minutes, another tool will do that in one minute."
"Easier connectivity and integration with SAP would be helpful."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"UFT Developer is good, but it requires high-level development skills. Scripting is something that everybody should know to be able to work with this product. Currently, it is very development intensive, and you need to know various scripting languages. It would be good if the development effort could be cut short, and it can be scriptless like Tosca. It will help in more adoption because not every team has people with a software engineering background. If it is scriptless, the analysts who wear multiple hats and come from different backgrounds can also use it in a friendly manner. It is also quite expensive."
"We push one button and the tests are completely executed at once, so just have to analyze and say it's okay. It would be nice if this could be entirely automated."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint."
