"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."

"It is a stable solution."
"What I like most about Visual Studio Test Professional is the way people publish templates and publish integration."

"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."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."

"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."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"I would like Micro Focus to provide more information on their portal about their newer products. The information about UFT One was outdated. The image recognition features could also be better."
"Jumping to functions is supported from any Action/BPT Component code, but not from inside a function library where the target function exists in another library file. Workaround: Select search entire project for the function."
"The price is reasonable, but it's not the best."
"The interface should be made attractive."
"The documents on the Microsoft website are not very useful, and they ought to make it easier to find answers."
"The solution's documentation could be improved because it keeps disappearing from the solution."
