We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT One, Visual Studio Test Professional, and Worksoft Certify 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 very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"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 solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"The best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"We are satisfied with technical support. Communicating with them is very simple. We also have a lot of online resources to check and to study and to train our team with. The documentation is very clear and readily available."
"The debugging feature is valuable."
"The product is good to create big or small projects fastly. It is one of the leaders in the area."
"The most valuable feature of Visual Studio Test Professional is its ease of use."
"It's great for the development of .NET."
"Code testing is the most valuable feature of this solution for developing software."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and availability."
"Visual Studio is highly powerful. It's probably the best software development tool on the market."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to automate quickly and to maintain and update scripts."
"Certify integrates with other tools and it works very well with other machine testing applications."
"The Worksoft Capture feature is most valuable. For example, if you are creating a sales order in SAP, you do not need to go to each field and do everything. You do not need to write code for each and every line. You can just turn on the Worksoft Capture feature and manually perform your actions. It will capture all manual actions, and it will give you the steps. It will write the steps for you."
"One big advantage of Worksoft Certify is its integration with SAP Solution Manager..."
"It is highly scalable and reusable. It is easy for team members to maintain and use with confidence. There is great versatility."
"It helps us to implement automation testing as part of most projects, so the need for manual testing can be reduced. This really accelerates the testing process as a whole. Before, where it could take ten days to test a project, now it takes only one or two days to do the complete testing."
"The Capture 2.0 feature is very intuitive, useful, and user-friendly. You can do so much with it now, versus the older version."
"It's very different versus other tools in the past, which were not very modern. It easy for people to automate."
"Sometimes it appears that UFT takes a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected. Also, UFT uses a lot of memory. On this note, if you are running UFT on a virtual server I would add more RAM memory than the minimum requirements especially when using multiple add-ins. HP is pretty good about coming out with new patches to fix known issues and it pays for the user to check for new patches and updates on a regular basis."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"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."
"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."
"You have to deal with issues such as the firewall and how can the tool talk with the application, i.e., if the application is on a company network and so on. That, of course, is important to figure out."
"Technical support could be improved."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"The server that we use is very slow so that is concerning for us."
"The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution."
"It needs more integration with other tools for monitoring. Microsoft also needs to make it more modern to make it work with microservices and the cloud. It is a bit outdated currently."
"The interface should be made attractive."
"The solution's documentation could be improved because it keeps disappearing from the solution."
"The database administration could be better; you should be able to choose new tools with the development environment in Visual Studio. It could be easier to use."
"In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line."
"Sometimes, the product is too complex to use."
"With one of our applications where we do check-in, Worksoft is not able to identify the Java-based application. We raised the ticket, but we were unable to resolve this using Worksoft."
"The web application should be more robust."
"They have a scheduler in Execution Manager, but it is not customizable. Its UI needs a lot of improvement. The lights-out testing is a bit difficult with that particular tool, and it needs a lot of improvement. Of course, there are so many integration options with Worksoft for execution, but when it comes to Execution Manager, which is their own tool, there is a lot of scope for improvement."
"The problem with Worksoft Certify is that it's not always stable. It runs on a live platform that's constantly changing, so the test script needs to be adjusted every time, which is very painful."
"With the codeless process automation across packaged applications, once in a while, if we get a weird application that's not widely used, it gets a little stickier. First, the software has to learn the fields, so you have to identify all the fields. Once you do that, as long as there isn’t any non-standard code in the application, then it works fine. But there's that one step that you have to do, a step you don't have to do with SAP and Salesforce, for example."
"Worksoft Certify's support team should respond more promptly when we are stuck with certain issues and looking for a solution."
"The primary area for improvement is the support service."
"An area that I would like to see improved is how the permissions are applied. If you're applying permissions groups to a user, one of the options is to delete the group entirely and lose the entire permission group, rather than just deleting the permission from the user, which seems a little silly. In my opinion, that whole module of permissions is very confusing and lends itself to common errors."
