We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT One and Postman based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."
"Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge."
"The best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."
"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members."
"Postman helps us to automate the API testing in the team."
"In Postman, we have an option to directly import a call, make it a Postman collection, and execute it in a batch. This feature is very useful. It saves a lot of time. The manual effort is also reduced when we can just pick it in a Postman collection and then run and execute it to get the results."
"The most valuable feature is that JavaScript can be included as tests."
"This solution offers a free version."
"The solution has helped us very well in testing endpoint URLs."
"It allowed us to understand the working and performance of the APIs."
"Postman is open-source and free to use."
"I am not sure if they have a vision of how they want to position the leads in the market, because if you look at Tosca, Tosca is one of the automation tools that have a strategy, and it recently updated its strategy with SAP. They are positioning them as a type of continuous testing automation tool. And if you notice Worksoft, particularly the one tool for your enterprise application, your Worksoft is positioning. I am not sure if Micro Focus UFT has a solid strategy in place. They must differentiate themselves so that people recognize Micro Focus UFT for that reason."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"One thing that confused me, and now just mildly irritates me, is that we migrated from QuickTest Pro to HP UFT, Unified Functional Test. After we did the migration, it turned out that we didn't really have Unified Functional Test at all."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"[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."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
"One thing which Postman needs to improve is the documentation. The documentation of Postman is not that great when compared to other tools."
"An area that needs some improvement would be to allow multiple windows with different collections to be open at the same time."
"Postman is a bit more of a complex tool, making it an area where improvements can be made."
"UI testing needs to be added to the solution."
"I would like to have a code snippet where I can write a code and for the responses of the endpoints to be validated using my custom business conditions."
"I would like that if you click on one of the fields you should be able to see the entire row of fields, names, and values."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
