Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."It is a stable solution."
"The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."
"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."
"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"The most valuable features for us are the GUI, the easy identification of objects, and folder structure creation."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run concurrent automated tests up to a specified value, depending on what we are currently paying for."
"The Failure Analysis feature is really important for us, one of the most important aspects. What is the root cause? Is it because we have a defect or is it that we have a test case that we need to fix or modify? The Failure Analysis is one of the main functionalities that I am exploring all the time in Sauce Labs... The Failure Analysis helps us to discover which test cases we need to work on."
"Sauce Labs is optimized for automation and integration with the major CI/CD platforms and developer tools. We have an integration with App Center that we're working on. They have a storage API that lets us retrieve APK and IPA, iOS and Android builds off the phone, so that we can continue testing with CI/CD. They integrate with Jenkins, and Jenkins is the main CI/CD."
"The most valuable feature is the cross-browser feature, it has many android and iOS devices both simulators and real devices. It's easy to integrate. I also like video recording too."
"Easy to integrate with the other platform for tracking purposes."
"Testing across multiple devices and environments is now possible to do quickly and effectively."
"Testing subscription videos for on-demand software, making them better quality and bug free for our customers."
"Sauce Labs' dashboards contain multiple useful metrics in one place. Everything is represented to us visually on the dashboard, which helps us understand where to focus our attention, what the issues are, and what we need to resolve."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"The product has many features."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"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 solution does not have proper scripting."
"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."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"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."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"Micro Focus UFT One could benefit from creating modules that are more accessible to non-technical users. Without a developer background or at least basic knowledge of VBScript, using Micro Focus UFT One may not be feasible for everyone. This is something that Micro Focus, now owned by OpenText, should consider in order to cater to business professionals as well. While Micro Focus UFT One does have a recording function, it still requires a certain level of IT proficiency to create effective automation, which may be challenging for those outside of the technical field."
"I may not know what should be improved on the platform, but I think it could offer a greater variety of testing solutions. I know there might be competing solutions that cover more things I'm unaware of, and it could expand a bit more. We've done a lot of automated testing scenarios, and that's all the rage these days, so I think Sauce Labs could look at potential ways to improve and cover other scenarios."
"As a web product QA team, we sometimes need to spot check some new child site on multiple browsers and OS(es). It was a little time consuming for us since we need to click on each of the browser/OS combinations and start a new session to test. Every sprint, with new features and child pages being added, we mostly need to do the same steps over and over again."
"Multi-domain SSO is a big concern for us right now, especially as we've been merged into a larger company. I suddenly have teams coming from 20 different domains, and because the main master Sauce Labs account is locked down to one SSO domain, there are teams that can't run a test right now. I've heard they're working on a solution and they've been very communicative with us about it. A solution to that would help us a lot."
"We encountered minor issues with stability from time to time but Sauce Labs continues to make improvements."
"There have been various times throughout the last month or so where the service has gone down during business hours."
"Sauce Labs has room for improvement with its price point. Using a real mobile device, and having that dedicated to your team, costs more than actually purchasing a mobile device. We haven't tried the real devices yet. This is because of their price point."
"With the desktop browser, we can inspect any screen with the web developer option, but they should provide something for mobiles so that we can quickly inspect elements on the device. To write the Selenium scripts, we require web locators. We have to capture them from the local and execute the script on Sauce Labs. If Sauce Labs can provide a solution where we can inspect any of the mobile devices online, it will be very helpful for us."
"Speeds up the time it takes to run end-to-end user interface (UI) tests inside their virtual machines (VMs)."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"The integration tools could be better."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
