We performed a comparison between Broadcom Service Virtualization and OpenText UFT One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."The ability to do parallel development and testing reduces our costs for duplicating environments, improving the productivity of our developers, and bringing products faster to market."
"Helps us to remove barriers that we have with dependencies on services that we don't own, or services that don't even exist yet."
"In the case of the virtualization of TCP/IP protocols for third-party terminal insurance, there was a device terminal, which was interacting with the application via the TCP/IP protocol. Most of the tools don't support that, but we were able to achieve it using Broadcom Service Virtualization."
"CA Service Virtualization has helped us advance the development cycle when third-party interfaces are not available to us."
"The most valuable features are the recording and creating of virtual services."
"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"Ability to vary the responses very easily (randomize, pick-lists, etc.)."
"Scalability has actually worked well and we are able to bring it to multiple environments."
"The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."
"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."
"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."
"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"It helps in identifying defects earlier. With manual testing, that 15-day timeline meant there were times when we would find defects on the 11th or 12th day of the cycle, but with automation we are able to run the complete suite within a day and we are able to find the failures. It helps us to provide early feedback."
"It is a stable solution."
"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"I'd like to see more of the newer technologies included in there, looking mainly from a mobile perspective, possibly, so you can virtualize some of the aspects that we're going to be doing for mobile testing."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"It is not a stable solution."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift."
"I would rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration."
"The price is very high. They should work to lower the costs for their clients."
"UFT has a recording feature. They could make the recording feature window bigger for whatever activities that I am recording. It would improve the user experience if they could create a separate floating panel (or have it automatically show on the side) once the recording starts."
"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."
"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."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"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."
"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."
"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."
