We have it deployed on many machines. Because we don't have a template built, it did require actually going to each of our 40 machines and installing it. However, once it was installed, as long as we don't have to upgrade it, they just run. Honest to goodness, our apps that we test are more unstable than it is in terms of scalable. 

We have a suite of 40-plus virtual machines that are either developing in UFT One or running tests on it on any given day. In terms of the test execution, I have had tests that start with a .NET notification, go to the web, and then go to an API test to do some web service testing of the data that we started with. No issues with that either.

The solution’s AI capabilities cut down test creation time for mobile by at least 60 percent. I am getting to the point where I believe unless the test step is several sentences long, then I can write automation for a test step in 10 minutes or less per step. It is crazy awesome.

The advantage of AI for us has not removed the need for abstraction and having centralized functions for things, e.g., interacting with the page and a lot of the slang folk would know is this page object model. We still embrace a model for each screen, web page, or functional area. We have that abstraction necessary, so when a change is made, it's still in a central place and way easier to make it. Where a change in the past might have taken us 15 minutes to an hour, those changes should now take three or four minutes max.

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. 

On the AI side, we have suggested that we will have at least 60 percent maintenance cost savings, which is huge. That is calculated from:

1. Not having to maintain both iOS and Android.
2. Our estimate that there is not that much that we will have to maintain because it's "just gonna work."

We have seen a return on investment using Micro Focus UFT One.

We have reduced 20% of our total efforts. A lot of automation has been put into place.

We have seen a return on investment.

Object maintenance is reduced.

Even without being able to provide exact figures, this product has given our company a return on its investment.

Our customers are always looking to reduce their efforts. This solution will give you such an advantage.

Depending on the landscape and stability of the customer application, they should see ROI (or the breakeven point) within six to nine iterations.

For the QTP/UFT projects I have worked on ROI is always over 300% in the long term.

I don’t really have information on the pricing/licensing as I wasn’t involved in that and wouldn’t be able to comment on the ROI. This solution has been in place for about five years and the tests are pretty reliable so I would think it has a pretty good ROI, but just guessing.

Well, ROI will be specific to a customer and their needs, but I can give an example.

We built automation for a company that needed 17 people for 12 or more weeks to run a regression test. That same test can be run in a week with the UFT tool and one or maybe two people to make sure there are no problems with those test runs. I built automation that created test sets, executed tests with those sets, and validated the results for a testing effort that took three people two or more weeks.

Given all that, ROI is really what automation is all about.

My company is very firefighting friendly, so the ROI was immense when it came to automation and the amount of time it took to get test suites and regression set up. The amount of test cases a user can create in a short amount of time is incredible.

The ROI is variable depending on the size of the team, the amount of usage they plan on using the tool, and the budget they have on tools, training, and support.

It's fast, reliable, and accurate, and should provide ROI.

The ROI is good.

The return on investment for any company buying this product license is 100 percent, as businesses with clients increase productivity when manual tasks becomes faster and efficient by automating them with this tool.
