Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."The solution helps to accelerate software testing automation. It will help to reduce lead time and increase productivity and efficiency."
"This tool is really good. We don't need to write any code, but it writes the code itself, only record and play. And it is simple, and it is not heavy; I mean, it doesn't have a large footprint, and it works well for us."
"The cost is the most important factor in this tool."
"The solution is very scalable."
"There are many good things. Like it is intuitive and scripting was easy. Plus the availability of experienced resources in India due to its market leadership."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature for UFT is the ability to test a desktop application."
"One aspect that I like about Micro Focus UFT Developer is the ability to integrate it into a testing framework as a library."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"It is a stable solution."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is being able to run each version for test suites."
"It is the best solution you can get across the globe for API, test automation, and API penetration testing."
"The Excel sheet feature is good."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the ready-to-use assertions and filters which can perform the validation. If we want to filter out any value, the filters are available. Apart from that database integration, if you want to go ahead and perform validation in the database layer it is possible with the ready-to-use feature available. The execution and reporting are rich features."
"It's easy to learn how to use it."
"ReadyAPI's best features are user-friendliness, smooth integration with Postman, the speed of creating test cases, and integration with customer data."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are its robust functionality and collaboration capabilities."
"The dashboards are very good and consolidate all of the tests that you are performing with the client."
"I have to keep the remote machine open while the tests are running, otherwise, it leads to instability."
"It would be improved by adding a drag-and-drop interface to help alleviate the coding."
"The parallel execution of the tests needs improvement. When we are running tests in LeanFT, there are some limitations in terms of running the same tests simultaneously across different browsers. If I'm running a test, let's say to log in, I should be able to execute it through IE, through Microsoft Edge, through Chrome, through Mozilla, etc. This capability doesn't exist in LeanFT. Parallel execution of the test cases across different browsers need to be added."
"The product has shown no development over the past 10 or 15 years."
"UFT Developer is good, but it requires high-level development skills. Scripting is something that everybody should know to be able to work with this product. Currently, it is very development intensive, and you need to know various scripting languages. It would be good if the development effort could be cut short, and it can be scriptless like Tosca. It will help in more adoption because not every team has people with a software engineering background. If it is scriptless, the analysts who wear multiple hats and come from different backgrounds can also use it in a friendly manner. It is also quite expensive."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The support from Micro Focus needs a lot of improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see integration with different cloud-based tools such as Azure."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"[Tech support is] not a 10 because what happens with some of our issues is that we might not get a patch quickly and we have to hold on to an application until we get a proper solution."
"We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"Areas for improvement include the security files, endpoints, and process sessions."
"The performance in some cases needs improvement. Sometimes it requires too many resources."
"What needs improvement in ReadyAPI is its load testing feature because there was a hiccup when my team performed some load testing on the tool. My team had meetings with the ReadyAPI team and tried to get that issue fixed, but it still hasn't improved. This is a shortcoming of the tool, especially when you compare it with HP LoadRunner."
"There is room for improvement in ReadyAPI, particularly in the user interface."
"I would like to see a better dashboard for monitoring in the next release of this solution."
"Performance and memory management both need to be improved because other solutions use less memory for the same amount of data."
"The UI is not user-friendly."
"If ReadyAPI had more integration with all of the big tools on the market then this would be very useful."
