Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"It's simple to set up."
"UFT has improved our ability to regression test."
"The solution has good out-of-the-box protocols."
"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."
"It is a stable solution."
"The inside object repository is nice. We can use that and learn it through the ALM connection. That's a good feature. The reporting and smart identification features are also excellent."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"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."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes."
"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."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"The scripting language could be improved. They're currently using Visual Basic, but I think that people need something more advanced, like Python or Java."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
