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."It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
"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."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"UFT has improved our ability to regression test."
"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool. It covers all necessary items in the test plan. The most painful item in testing is maintenance. When changes occur, the tests should be maintained."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
"There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT."
"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."
"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)."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription."
