We use both the cloud and on-premises deployment models of the solution.

In terms of general advice, I would say that any tool that you plan to use, you need to plan it well. You need to outline the complex and specific scenarios that you plan to use in your project. You should do a POC first, whether you choose Micro Focus or something else.

I would rate the solution at seven or eight out of ten.

The product is fairly reasonably priced, so make sure you get the full BPT functionality enabled, but speak to someone who currently works with the product if you have any concerns around limitations. Also get someone in to show you how to do things. Trying to figure things out for yourself takes time, and can lead to frustration, rather get a head-start and get stuck in with a pro. You will then get exposure to what the product suite can do, and all the functionality available, so that you can get the best out of the experience.

It has room for improvement, but in my opinion it’s at the moment “best in class” when used in a (bus) DevOps environment. The most important part is that the components and flows should match with your product under test. Involve the business at the start of the implementation phase.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

I would definitely recommend it. 

Go for this product only if you have a long time vision of the software under test as this will yield significant output only after investing good amount of time.

There is learning curve involved in developing best BPT automation framework. Please research on best practices to implement BPT.
