"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."
"It is a stable solution."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"The most valuable features for us are the GUI, the easy identification of objects, and folder structure creation."
"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."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"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."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"The low code is the best feature."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"We like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs. Due to this, the solution has a broad range of applications."
"Tosca BI is important to make sure that our data integrity is in check and validated; to make sure our data is good. Our data is the number-one important driver for our company, so if that's not good, we have some big problems."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"To me, what stands out the most about Tricentis Tosca is that even if I'm not a technical tester, I could pick up on how to use it very quickly because of the mechanisms of the tool, for example, its scanning mechanism. I'm not so technical, but I'm able to maneuver through Tricentis Tosca and derive capability. It's a user-friendly tool. It's not very complex."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"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 product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"The solution is expensive."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"I would like Micro Focus to provide more information on their portal about their newer products. The information about UFT One was outdated. The image recognition features could also be better."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"Stability issues occurred only when connecting to the SourceSafe. Sometimes, after getting the latest version, the tool hangs and it should be reopened in order to recover."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"Setup wasn't that straightforward; it was more complex. It all depends on the environment, because there were a lot of errors on our applications. Therefore, it wasn't an easy setup for us."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
