We performed a comparison between BrowserStack, Galen Framework, and OpenText UFT One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."Local testing for products with no public exposure is an advantage in development."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides parallel and cross-browser testing. It enables us to run tests on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously."
"I've worked on testing integrations with BrowserStack, particularly with a platform called IT. This involves testing the registration process, including receiving verification codes on devices and phones. BrowserStack has been excellent for testing these integrations, providing a seamless workflow development experience."
"The product guides and resources are extensive and very helpful."
"I like that it offers full device capability."
"It just added some flexibility. There was nothing that improved our coding standards, etc. because all of our UIs were functional before we tried it."
"The most valuable features are the variety of tools available."
"It is a stable solution. There's no lagging and jittering."
"What I like most about Galen Framework are its advantages, particularly its spec language and the spec file feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"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."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"I would like to see clearer visibility."
"BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally."
"If you are inactive for 30 minutes, the solution will close."
"I would like for there to be more integration with BrowserStack and other platforms."
"Connectivity can sometimes mar the testing experience."
"Sometimes BrowserStack is really slow and devices are not loading. it is really annoying and that's why we bought several newer devices because sometimes it's affecting us a lot."
"Occasionally, there are disruptions in the connection which can interfere with our testing processes, especially when testing on phones."
"I haven't seen AI in BrowserStack, making it in an area where improvements are required in the product."
"There don't seem to be functions available for automatically generating Galen values based on the specifications in the spec file, and this could be a potential improvement for Galen Framework."
"I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"The solution does not have proper scripting."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"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."
"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."
