We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT One, SmartBear TestComplete, and SmartBear TestLeft based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools.
"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."
"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources."
"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"The solution has good out-of-the-box protocols."
"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."
"The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"The product has many features."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool. It covers all necessary items in the test plan. The most painful item in testing is maintenance. When changes occur, the tests should be maintained."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"The most valuable features are test executor and development."
"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."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"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."
"The price is very high. They should work to lower the costs for their clients."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"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."
"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"TestLeft captures a lot of space in terms of memory, which is one issue that can be improved."
