Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Test Automation Tools."The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the Object Model, where you can directly pull up the object as a global or a local."
"The cost is the most important factor in this tool."
"One of the important features, which speeds up the automation testing development with LeanFT, is its object repository functions. Object identification are the most time-consuming aspect of building automation tests. LeanFT gives that out of the box. It helps you identify the objects and after that, once you got the object in place, then it's just about building the test scripts. So it reduces your development time significantly."
"It is quite stable, and it has got very user-friendly features, which are important in terms of maintaining our scripts from a long-term perspective. It is very stable for desktop-based, UI-based, and mobile applications. Object repositories and other features are also quite good."
"It's a complete pursuit and it's a logical pursuit working with HPE."
"The most valuable feature for UFT is the ability to test a desktop application."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT Developer is the flexibility to work with many different types of software."
"The most valuable feature is cross-browser, cross-OS, cross-mobile device testing."
"It has significantly enhanced our testing accuracy by approximately 50%."
"There is a huge amount of open source, community provided resources."
"Since this is an all-in-one testing site, we are able to take advantage of the browser OS combinations, mobile emulators and simulators, and real mobile devices. This is important to us since we have a variety of users, browsers, OS, etc."
"Running tests in parallel."
"I have found the live test section with Sauce Labs to be extremely valuable. When you can't quite figure out why a test is failing, you can go to the live test results section within their tool and launch your test (specifying a given OS/browser, or device) manually and step through the test to see the issue more clearly, usually opening up the developer's tool console and watching the network calls and console (within Chrome) to usually find the underlying issue."
"With only a few clicks, it gives us the availability to use any browser and OS combination whenever we want."
"Supplying devices to a testing team of possibly close to one thousand testers and developers is a great undertaking but Sauce Labs has made this very easy and a welcomed solution."
"Easier connectivity and integration with SAP would be helpful."
"UFT is like a flagship of testing tools, but it's too expensive and people are not using it so much. They should work on their pricing to make themselves more competitive."
"The support for .NET Framework and Visual Studio in Micro Focus UFT Developer is currently limited. At present, only Visual Studio 2019 is supported, despite the release of a newer version (2022). Similarly, the tool only supports up to .NET Framework version 4.3.8, while there have been six newer versions released. This is an area that could be improved upon, particularly in the Windows environment."
"The product has shown no development over the past 10 or 15 years."
"It is unstable, expensive, inflexible, and has poor support."
"In the next release, I would like to see the connectivity improved to be less complex and more stable."
"Integration with other tools can become a costly exercise."
"I have to keep the remote machine open while the tests are running, otherwise, it leads to instability."
"Sometimes pasting text while using "text object" does not seem to work, and it slows down testing times quite a bit."
"Better and programmatic controls on request/response recordings and sharing with developers."
"I would like to see improved network connectivity and it should allow playback for native apps."
"The ability to install profiles on iOS real mobile devices should be included."
"When we were in development, it was a bit of a pain because we have onshore and offshore development. One of our development shops is in India, and we were running tests over there. When some of the users tried to log in, it was slow for them or we didn't have enough licenses. That was during the core development before we even launched."
"We encountered minor issues with stability from time to time but Sauce Labs continues to make improvements."
"Running tests in the SauceCloud can take longer than running in a local environment."
"An image comparison would be a nice feature to include in the Sauce Labs product."
