We performed a comparison between IBM Rational Functional Tester, OpenText UFT One, and Selenium HQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."
"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"It's simple to set up."
"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."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."
"The main characteristic that is useful is that the tool is completely free."
"The solution is very easy to use. Once you learn how to do things, it becomes very intuitive and simple."
"Selenium WebDriver and Selenium IDE are useful."
"It supports many external plugins, and because it's a Java-based platform, it's language-independent. You can use Java, C#, Python, etc."
"The primary benefit is its cost and the ability to use the cloud."
"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."
"It is more stable in comparison to other solutions because they have quite some experience in the market."
"What I like the most about this product is that it gives us a lot of freedom to code anything, there is no restriction on the type of function you can do."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."
"We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes."
"The solution is expensive."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"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."
"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."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Selenium uses a layer-based approach that is somewhat slower than Eggplant when it comes to executing code."
"Selenium HQ can be complex. The interface requires a QA engineer or an expert to use it."
"The solution is open-source, so everyone relies on the community to assist with troubleshooting and information sharing. If there's a complex issue no one has faced, it may take a while to solve the problem."
"It would be better to have a simplified way to locate and identify web elements."
"Coding skills are required to use Selenium, so it could be made more user-friendly for non-programmers."
"The drawback is the solution is not easy to learn."
"It would be better if it accommodated non-techy end-users. I think it's still a product for developers. That's why it's not common for end-users, and especially for RPA activities or tasks. It's hard to automate tasks for end-users. If it will be easier, more user-friendly, and so on, perhaps it can be more interesting for this kind of user."
"When we upgrade the version, some features are missing. I want the product to include some AI capabilities."
