We performed a comparison between Appium and OpenText UFT One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The best feature of Appium is that it allows you to inspect the element. With the Appium Inspector, you don't have to install another application to do the inspection. I also like that Appium has Android device connectivity. Currently, most people use Appium as automation software, and I haven't found any other tool that's more powerful than Appium."
"It has great documentation and excellent community support."
"Appium provides a record-and-play option, and the commands are the same as those that Selenium uses. So a person who has some exposure to Selenium will be able to write a piece of code in Appium."
"Appium has easy interaction with mobile."
"The most valuable features of Appium are the in-built functionality, which we can use in our code. For example, move back, move front, navigate one page before, and navigate one page ahead. You can do this by using the in-built functions from Appium."
"We get a list that shows all devices that are connected to the system."
"It's an open-source solution with a very large community and available documentation."
"The way Appium server interacts with mobile apps is fantastic. It provides all the information about the elements inside the app, Android as well as iOS. I can interact with the element quickly, just type some text or get some text values from the element - whether it's a drop-down, or web text, or a native element."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"There is always a concern about the amount of code that is required to enhance the automation process. The idea of having less code or no code is what we would like to see in future updates."
"We previously worked with native applications, and there weren't any good mobile app testing tools. We started working with React Native, which works well with Appium, but it would be good to see better integration; the way elements are displayed can be messy. React Native is very popular nowadays, so it's essential to have that compatibility."
"We haven't been able to fully leverage Appium for multiple reasons. I think number one is just that the tests take a long time to run. We have had some issues around just the results themselves and how predictable they are, but those are not issues with Appium directly."
"The setup and installation were a problem for us at first."
"Support-wise, it could be better."
"Stability is an area that needs some improvement."
"It needs to accommodate applications that use React.js and AngularJS."
"The tool needs to add a dependency manager."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"Jumping to functions is supported from any Action/BPT Component code, but not from inside a function library where the target function exists in another library file. Workaround: Select search entire project for the function."
"We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"Technical support could be improved."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"Micro Focus UFT One could improve by having more maintenance. Every time when we run the solution and develop something, the next time when we run it it doesn't recognize the object. I have to redesign the object again and then run the solution. It's really a headache, it's not consistent."
"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."
