Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The product is easy to use.""The solution is easy to use. There are features to orchestrate mobile testing, including mobile testing automation. You can test different devices at the same time.""It is a complete solution for mobile application testing.""The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare.""For automation testing, the tool provides the record and playback option, which helps with object detection easily.""There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps.""The most valuable feature of this solution is virtualization."

Cons
"I would like to see more integration with automation tools.""They should introduce a pay-per-use subscription model.""We need to scale devices easily. Some customers would like to loop in AWS or other cloud providers to check if their devices have the cloud factor. OpenText UFT Digital Lab needs to improve it.""The documentation and user interface both need improvement.""For the most part, the key challenge is ensuring that customers fully utilize the product as intended and adopt the appropriate frameworks to implement the solutions effectively.""We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it.""The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing."

More OpenText UFT Digital Lab Cons →

"It is not good in terms of performance. When you open Visual Studio, you have to wait for a while to process your code. It uses a lot of resources and has a lot of features. If we could disable some of the features, it would be lighter and faster to use. Nowadays, for some of the projects, we use VS Code for JavaScript or Python. VS Code is very light and easy to use, whereas, in Visual Studio, we have to wait because it takes time to compile or run a project. It has a lot of competitors in terms of performance, such as Intelligent ID. Intelligent ID is very easy to use. It has many features, and it is lighter to use than Visual Studio. In terms of error handling, sometimes, it shows an error before you finish your code, which can be improved. It would be good if it has a version for Linux. I use VS Code on Linux, but I am not sure if Visual Studio has a version for Linux.""I would appreciate some enhancements in the interface, maybe adding more color options.""Its UI could be better.""The tool crashes and has high memory consumption.""The documentation is limited.""The performance could be faster.""The price is reasonable, but it's not the best.""The solution's deployment is not very easy and should be made easier."
