We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT One, Selenium HQ, and SmartBear TestComplete based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools.
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"UFT has improved our ability to regression test."
"The most valuable features for us are the GUI, the easy identification of objects, and folder structure creation."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"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 shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"Micro Focus UFT One gives us integration capabilities with both API and GUI components. I like the user interface. It doesn't require that much skill to use and has automatic settings, which is useful for users who don't know what to select. It also has dark and light themes."
"Selenium has helped to complete tests in less time, which would not be possible relying on manual testing only."
"Selenuim helps us during testing. We are able to reduce the number and frequency of manual efforts by using scripts."
"The primary benefit is its cost and the ability to use the cloud."
"It is programming language agnostic, you can write tests in most currently used languages."
"It's available open-source and free. To install it, I just have to download it. It also doesn't require too many hardware resources compared to Micro Focus."
"There are many useful features in Selenium that I like, and of the new features I particularly enjoy the Selenium Grid. With this, we can run many test cases in one go, and in one suite we can extract multiple results."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"I like its simplicity."
"Selenium integration."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"TestComplete fits almost perfectly with a large amount of stacks, such as Delphi, C#, Java and web applications."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"You can record your actions and play them back later."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"I am not sure if they have a vision of how they want to position the leads in the market, because if you look at Tosca, Tosca is one of the automation tools that have a strategy, and it recently updated its strategy with SAP. They are positioning them as a type of continuous testing automation tool. And if you notice Worksoft, particularly the one tool for your enterprise application, your Worksoft is positioning. I am not sure if Micro Focus UFT has a solid strategy in place. They must differentiate themselves so that people recognize Micro Focus UFT for that reason."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"The UA objects are sometimes hard to recognize, so the coverage should be increased. Open-source alternatives have a broad scope. Also, it's sometimes difficult to make connections between two of the components in the UFT mobile center. It should be easier to set up the wireless solution because we have to set both. We directly integrate Selenium and APM, so we should try to cover all the features they have in APM and Selenium with the UFT mobile."
"It would be very helpful to be able to write scripts in a GUI, rather than depend so heavily on the command line."
"The stop control needs to be improved with a configuration tool to enable desktop support."
"They should leverage the tools for supporting Windows apps."
"Could have additional readability and abstraction."
"It would be better if we could use it without having the technical skills to run the scripting test."
"The solution can be improved by providing better reporting logs."
"I don't have that much experience with it, but I know that Selenium is more used for websites. It is not for testing desktop applications, which is a downside of it. It can support desktop applications more."
"Selenium HQ can be complex. The interface requires a QA engineer or an expert to use it."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"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."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options. For example, if a grid is used and it contains multiple controls within it, it can be a checkbox, radio button, or any kind of control, the way the Object Spy is operating currently there is a lot of room for improvement."
"The integration tools could be better."
