We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT One and Visual Studio Test Professional 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."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 production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"The inside object repository is nice. We can use that and learn it through the ALM connection. That's a good feature. The reporting and smart identification features are also excellent."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"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."
"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 solution is easy to use and they have also integrated with Microsoft."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a scalable solution."
"The ability to quickly make your own components has been valuable."
"The user interface is very friendly."
"Easy to use and easily scalable."
"Visual Studio Test Pro is super helpful for my Microsoft app work."
"The most valuable features of Visual Studio Test Professional are the IntelliSense and the ease of adding the NuGet packages."
"What I like most about Visual Studio Test Professional is the way people publish templates and publish integration."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"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."
"One thing that confused me, and now just mildly irritates me, is that we migrated from QuickTest Pro to HP UFT, Unified Functional Test. After we did the migration, it turned out that we didn't really have Unified Functional Test at all."
"UFT has a recording feature. They could make the recording feature window bigger for whatever activities that I am recording. It would improve the user experience if they could create a separate floating panel (or have it automatically show on the side) once the recording starts."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"Over the years, I haven't identified any specific enhancements that I desire; Visual Studio has consistently met my requirements seamlessly and flawlessly."
"It needs more integration with other tools for monitoring. Microsoft also needs to make it more modern to make it work with microservices and the cloud. It is a bit outdated currently."
"Visual Studio Test Professional could improve by having better integration with external databases."
"The product must provide more automation."
"I would appreciate some enhancements in the interface, maybe adding more color options."
"Visual Studio Test Professional should include more automation."
"The product must provide more integration."
"The interface should be made attractive."
